While I won't remove the "bestiality" tag, listing Discord as Anthro is laughable.

Not my decision.

I'd say discord is anthro enough. He's certainly more humanoid than ponies.

Uhhh, no. Discord is a Draconequus. His species stands on two legs but that would be legitimately the only anthropomorphic physical attribute about him.
I define it like this - anthro means taking something from its ORIGINAL form and turning it into a more humanoid look. This is Discord ORIGINAL form. Just because it is slightly human-ish (no it's not) to you doesn't mean it's anthro.
His portrayal here is untampered with from show-canon design and is no more anthropomorphic than any of the ponies are for their human-esque attributes like hair, teeth, posture at times, or communication and frequently used non-horse-like body language.

A.K.A.: Not anthro. Thus bestiality tag does not belong. Discord was not altered to appear more human-like. Draconequus' just resemble human features more than equine characters from the show.

You do realize that a Draconequus is a species invented by the show's creators.

If I invent a species that has remarkably human attributes, it would be tagged as anthro. Even if I described my horse that walked on two legs and had a body structure extremely akin to a human's as a "Humanequus", it would still be tagged as anthro.

I'm not saying that we should tag Discord as an anthro in every picture, or even here. I'm saying that the picture depicts a character that is significantly more human-like than the character he's banging. Therefor, this picture should be tagged as bestiality. You would understand this if you actually read my comment.

SirAntagonist said:
*Insert giant attempt at logic here*

Just because the species was invented by the shows creators doesn't mean it is instantly null and void of what is used to define anthropomorphic or not.

In your 'comment' you said Discord is more humanoid than the ponies are, thus making him anthro. I read your strawman fallacy perfectly well, buddy.

If there was an image of a monkey having sex with a horse but both participants had rather human-like genitalia, as depicted in this image here, would you label that as anthro, and thus, bestiality as well just because the monkey is "far more humanoid" than the horse?
Of course not (I'd hope). You cannot base the anthropomorphism of something off of the physical contrast of what said something is having sex with. That makes absolutely no sense at all.

To me, bestiality is a human having sex with something that is not a human. The grey area comes into play when it is debatable whether or not something is 'human-enough' to qualify for the species-related contrast in the sexual activity.

SirAntagonist said:
I'd say discord is anthro enough.

You clearly DID state you presume Discord to be anthro, AT LEAST in this image if not in general. Not sure why you can't remember what you comment but still have the gall to try and reference it when trying to back up a claim you made.

If all you're saying is the bestiality tag should be here simply because of the species difference, that also makes no sense but you were unclear on that to begin with.
Because, again, my monkey and horse scenario. It wouldn't be bestiality just because the monkey is SIGNIFICANTLY more human-esque than its sexual partner. As we are basing the place of the bestiality tag off of the accuracy of the anthro tag, I'm sure you can at least try to understand why this looks really retarded on your part.

It's not like we're talking about Iron Will here. A minotaur is a bull built from a man. A draconequus has absolutely no resemblance to a man other than the fact that he stands on two legs, which is true for a variety of creatures. You cannot base anthro off of just that, then support it by saying "he is not fucking something as human-y as him so he is anthro"

After a bracing shot of rum, I think I'm ready to tackle this block of idiocy.

ShadeOfSpades said:

If something is anthropomorphic, it's anthropomorphic. Show cannon or even mythological cannon does not excuse a species from being labeled as such.

Do you even know what a strawman fallacy is? Anthropomorphism is a subjective trait. I NEVER said that Discord is an Anthro in this picture. I said he was anthropomorphic IN RELATION to Fluttershy, who has 0 humanoid attributes, unlike Discord (Who has hands, a defined torso, defined knees, and is sitting as a human would).

Depends on the picture. If the monkey was positioned in a particularly human way, then yes. Because of a monkey's features and strong similarity to humans, it becomes hard in many instances to determine if it's anthro or not. However, this argument is shot to shit once you realize that a monkey is a real creature, and a Draconequus is a complete fabrication of modern animators.

Repeat after me: "Anthropomorphism is a subjective trait." Is Discord sauntering around on 2 legs with pecs and a 6 pack? No. Does he look like a long, furry, slender dragon as he often appears in the show? No. Does he have knees, calves, a torso, shoulders, and arms? YES. The body structure is humanoid, and he is having sex with a feral character. Ergo, the bestiality tag.

Right now, you're sounding pretty retarded yourself, seeing as I'm looking at a character with goddamn knees. If you pulled your head out of your ass and actually read what I have to say, you'd know that I was using the species argument to counter your point of "Draconequus, ∴ not anthro".

As depicted in the show? Yes. Therein lies the problem. There is no reference for a Draconequus outside the show, because it wouldn't be cannon. The body type of a Draconequus is much more human than most fictional species. This allows for a much more humanoid depiction by many artists. In this picture, it's undeniable that Discord's body is SIGNIFICANTLY more human than Fluttershy's.

There you go again implying that if it isn't a real creature and is even SLIGHTLY similar to physical attributes of a human, it is IMMEDIATELY anthropomorphic full-on. This is what I find most idiotic about the way you think this through.
Dragons have knees, their joints permit them to sit like a human could, they also have distinct elbows and have plenty of art standing on two legs. Are they anthro? They meet your brain dead parameters for anthro.

The GREY AREA of what makes bestiality is what is considered anthro. A BUTTLOAD of those all have the anthro tag. Not sure if you've been paying attention but we weren't arguing over the definition of bestiality, we were arguing over whether the tag anthro belongs here which DICTATES the same of the tag bestiality. Pay close attention, I'll say it slower for you.
Anthro means 'sharing human-like traits of the physical variety'. Bestiality means human (or human-like) having sex with NOT human (or NOT human-like).
Bestiality doesn't belong here if anthro doesn't belong here. Your butt cheeks seem to love to tell me that the anthro tag DOES belong here though, which, again, you said right here:

Wuh oh. Guess what else is subjective. The fact that Discord is NOT anthro!!! Yet you still insist on thinking he is, which clearly, as I've already gone over, is the determining factor of if bestiality belongs here or not.

SirAntagonist said:

Actually yes. He is clearly significantly taller from where you can guesstimate his waist begins (as we can see his knees) and where his neck stops and head starts (as we can see a bit of his mug) but go on. I don't wanna take your moment of glory from you. You're clearly want to (try to) make a point here.

Claims like "he looks like a human"? Have you even seen the picture? And you do realize the first rational I gave was in response to your clusterfuck of an argument. Just because a species has anthropomorphic attributes that are often exploited by artists (as shown here) DOES NOT excuse it from the label of "anthropomorphic". I am not reiterating my stance on Discord and anthropomorphism in general, because I've said it at least 3 fucking times.

Pardon me for thinking you possessed an iota of deductive reasoning. Discord is not full-anthro in this pic. He still looks like Discord, he still has his paw, and he still has his equine face. However, his position, lower body, and proportions, are all VERY human like. While he's not humanized enough to be tagged as anthro, he's most definitely more anthro than Fluttershy. It would only follow that we tag this bestiality. Looking at your profile, it becomes clear you're new here, so you probably know jack shit about how tags work. I could say the same for the definition of anthro.

Wow. You must be really new here.

really

new.

As I've said god knows how many times: There is no set distinction for "Anthro". Discord is not human enough that we would tag this as anthro, but his difference is significant in comparison to Fluttershy, so we would tag it as bestiality.

ShadeOfSpades said:
Anthro means 'sharing human-like traits of the physical variety'. Bestiality means human (or human-like) having sex with NOT human (or NOT human-like).
Bestiality doesn't belong here if anthro doesn't belong here.

Let me explain something to you: There's a policy on this site called "Tag what you see". This is created for the purpose of allowing users to use a reasonable tagging system to search pictures they like or blacklist pictures they do not like. I don't explicitly see anthro here. I see a very human-like discord having sex with a very pony-like Fluttershy. Just because we don't tag one attribute does NOT automatically lock up the options for tagging things associated with that attribute. If that were the case, bestiality would have an anthro implication.

ShadeOfSpades said:
Not sure if you've been paying attention but we weren't arguing over the definition of bestiality, we were arguing over whether the tag anthro belongs here which DICTATES the same of the tag bestiality.

NO. It's pretty fucking clear that this should not be tagged with anthro. But as I've said, IN COMPARISON TO FLUTTERSHY, discord's attributes are SIGNIFICANTLY more human than he's depicted in the show. Because bestiality is a tag that requires a comparison between characters, it's deserved here. As I said, bestiality would imply both anthro and feral if you were correct.

Gotchya! So you admit that you consider him anthro and THAT is why the bestiality tag belongs. Alright, well lemme just uhh... *cough cough* and uhhh *ahem*

Unfortunately I have to agree. Dude, SirAntagonist, usually you're comments are rather funny and enjoyable to me, but here you're just being a complete dick tissue out of no where, and from what I followed, you kind of did make a bit of an ass of yourself...

Discord is not anthro. This was made crystal clear by ShadeOfSpades (he was also far less of a condescending asstart when he showed you this)

You kind of DID say discord is anthro. Doesn't matter if you were saying he is anthro in relation to flutterhshy here. Truth of the matter is "discord is anthro enough" is the exact same as saying "discord is anthro" or "discord is anthro to me" You kept trying to side-step that by saying you only called him 'anthro' in relation to fluttershy. Shade kind of bitch slapped you on that too. You CANNOT call something anthro strictly because of how different SOMETHING ELSE is to it. Dunno why you fought so vigorously on that. You were saying the same thing as "discord is anthro because fluttershy is pony that does not stand on two legs" which, from what I was able to follow, makes no sense.

Then you kinda just fell out and started insulting him straight-up without actually addressing any of the points. This tells me you got desperate and stopped caring, which made me wonder why you kept going anyway after saying you were done.

Discord does NOT look anthro in this image AT ALL. That is just his anatomy. If you're too butthurt to realize that, well then it's really no one else's fault but yours that you think he is "anthro enough".

The only thing I saw you two silently agree on is that bestiality as a tag might be justified if the definition was stretched to allow anything inter-species to qualify as bestiality. I dunno how that tag plays out but I too was under the impression bestiality was human fucking animal. As both discord and fluttershy are not human here, the only way bestiality could work is if discord was anthro, which he clearly, and don't get butthurt but pay attention here,
IS NOT ANTHRO IN THIS IMAGE AT ALL

So yes, bestiality should only be here if anthro should be here, because anthro is the link to the human variable that makes bestiality true. THAT is what Shade was getting at I think, and you ignored it pretty damn hard by just whining about what you thought when clearly you are a minority here.

Then you tried a 180 and said he didn't get anything you said, but to be honest, he made way more sense to me than you. Sorry buck-o. You gotta get over how much you think you know. Saying discord is anthro in relation to fluttershy makes no sense and is a completely pointless statement, as it is basically synonymous to saying discord is anthro. You decide if it's anthro based on itself, not something next to it, idiot.

The part where he did actually have you by the balls you didn't even actually acknowledge, which told me you really were desperate. Nobody was talking about show canon in discord porn. You deviated from the direct object a bit too much clearly. This was possibly just so you'd have more to argue back, which actually supports his strawman fallacy which I myself had to google, but it certainly fits what you're doing.

And I think he was talking about feral dragons, not anthro dragons. Feral dragons have knees and elbows and shit too. He was poking at how vague and stupid your basis for anthropomorphism was, even though you said it was super subjective and had no real basis, yet provided cute little charts to determine anthropomorphism.

And no, SirAntagonist, you are also dead wrong about that. The left hemisphere DOES control logic and critical thinking. Way to top it off with an "I'm a dumbass" signature.

Alright, I've dipped in and had my piece. But those (and this lol) may be the longest comments on this fucking website. Was it really worth it arguing so much over tags for porn? The image is still plenty admired as the 35 upvotes prove.
You just turned into a giant dick, instead of actually defending your position, SirAntagonist. Sorry to single you out, but seriously, shut the FUCK up, make like Elsa, and let it go

Sure. 'Cept for the fact that I had clearly outlined the definition of "anthro" three times.

I'm honored to be the subject of your first comment.

No more arguing. Next person to continue will get a disciplinary action. Next person to remove the anthro tag will get a disciplinary action

Form of Discord is close enough to being anthro for our purposes in this particular instance because of the humanlike pose and physique

This is quite hilarious, and a little pathetic.

It is, isn't it? I didn't think anybody would argue about this kind of thing so much.

He tries so hard D:

That is quite enough of that.

Oh, God, the comments! Did I do this?! O.o I am so sorry!

I just want to point out...he does not have a humanish body, a humanoid body, or otherwise human-like body, as was pointed out at some point, but I also want to point out that I am NOT for the love of all I hold dear, arguing, joining, or reading those posts.
Oh also Anthro is not ambiguous as was also stated...
Now I am going to duck and run and never return to this comment area...because someone will try and argue logic in an illogical way...and I don't want to drop to their level of stupidity...I am quite fond of my own.

Genjar said:
Well, looks like someone went and removed it again.
...but since the tag histories are disabled, there's no way to check who it was. :/

added to my work set, ill alert the admin to who did it once the tag Hist comes back online.

NotMeNotYou said:
He looks anthro enough for the tag to be relevant.

Tag stays on.

Your decisions have an impact on what artists think of this website. So please try to make smarter decisions because:

He. Is. Not. ANTHRO!!!

Now let it lay to rest!!! Admins can get things wrong too. Tags do not belong. Move along.

Are you familiar with the concept "Death of the artist"?

Our entire tagging system works by blatantly and intentionally ignoring the intention of the artist, we describe/tag what is actually portrayed in the image, not what was intended.

This image portrays anthropomorphized anatomy on Discord, thus it gets the tag anthro.

And telling an admin what to do or not is not the best idea you had today.

Yes, because admins are gods with divine judgement and couldn't possibly ever fuck up ever in any way shape or form, and are totally NOT people too with an assload of imperfections like everybody else.

And yes you certainly know more about the contents of an image than the individual who CREATED said image. This makes blissful sense now. I see it, I truly do.

No but seriously, stuff like that and this right here is why artists don't flock to this site to put up their art here first, rather than a tumblr or a furaffinity account.
You need to realize what you look like to content providers when this is the kind of stuff thrown at their content; very little thinking, very arrogant decision making based thereupon.

Now have at me. I've made my point and seeing as it is in direct negative exposure to you, I care naught for your take on said point.

See ya'. <3

Glad you didn't bother to even think about what I said.
Our entire tagging philosophy is based around the concept of death of the artist/author, which simply theorizes that the artist/author should not affect the perception generated through the work.

I never said I know better than the artist what is drawn here, I just said what it appears to be to the viewer, which seems to coincide with the perception of quite a few other viewers.

We aren't more correct or wrong than anybody else, we just decided we tag everything based on a different point of view and stick to that as nobody else did this beforehand.

It's quite ironic to talk about little thinking if you didn't even bother trying to understand our tagging procedure and the philosophy behind it.

And we do know how we look like to artists, we tag things however they appear to us, sometimes this in stark contrast to what the artist intended and they get mad that we aren't seeing what they see.
There are also more things that artists dislike about this place (no option to police comments, no direct power over the submissions, etc.) but that isn't in the scope of this discussion.

That there's a lot of censorship.
A lot of...how would you say, room for maybe "convenient censorship?"

Oh, but please, come onto our site and tell our admins how to do their jobs and that our system is wrong, and insult both some more. It'll make you worth a laugh or two, at the very least.

you like to jump into drama just to be a douche, dontchya? i also like how you use the word 'our' like you are a special part of the website and speak for it. this leads me to believe you need to go outside.

and you

reminding people what the tagging philosophy is based around doesn't prove that it makes any sense, which is what you seem to be ignoring. the guy has a point.

no if you enforce this rule you are already stating that you think you know better what appears in the image. if you take a gander at the tag history, as people seem to be removing the anthro tags frequently, you would realize you are trying to speak over people for what they see. clearly people see him as not anthro in a vast abundance, and those that set the tag back are very imperceptive, like yourself, or simply trying to follow admin rule without questioning it, which is even worse.

NotMeNotYou said:

actually you are for ignoring the fact many people still think it is not anthro which i just told you. the fact that you chastise someone for not understanding your tagging system yet you dont even try to understand that you contradict yourself and ignore the fact that your little philosophy makes no sense and is an easy bypass for admins to rule out the opinions of other members only proves you are a hypocrite. you accomplished nothing by pointing that out.

NotMeNotYou said:

yeah again, philosophy makes no sense, and what ever sense it does make only gives admins like you the fake right to rule out what everyone else thinks the tags should be. there are far more people in these comments that say this is not anthro from what i see here. you do NOT get to say that YOUR word is the same "perception of quite a few others" when it is clearly not.

yes, it is a part of the discussion because you ruin how people see your website with its precious philosophies because you take into zero account what other people think.

anthro means human looking. discord is not human looking here. again, stop thinking your perception is the same as every body elses just because you think you are following a philosophy that backs you up on this because it really does not. it should be tagged what it looks like, and more people say it looks not anthro than people that say it looks anthro. yet you choose to jump to a link you think makes your tagging perception superior to others. that is what is not okay and is what you are ignoring. so thank you for not understanding jack shit in the process of telling your members they don't understand jack shit.

Someone has to make the final call, and here it's the admins.

You don't need to agree with those decisions, but for the site to function, you need to accept it. Otherwise we'd have endless tag wars all over the site.

This is 3 paragraphs of you saying "I do not agree with the core rules of this page, please change them to suit me.", this is the equivalent of entering a Volkswagen Motors retail shop and demanding to see the manager because they don't sell Ferraris or Austin Martins.
This rule, this philosophy, is what we are if you do not agree with this you will need to find a different page as we obviously do not offer what you want in a way you like it.

This discussion is about the tag, everything should take place in the Forum in the first place, not this comment section.

Anthro means possessing human like traits on a non-human object or nun-human species/character/basically everything non-human.
As for why we see Discord as anthro in this case: Human-like legs, neither species (goat and reptile) have kneecaps like that in their original form, arms fall perfectly to the side and down in this upright position, something not typical to pony-like torso, the neck is strutting perfectly up and out from the torso, again implying that upright is default posture for him, contradicting his head and body.

This is why we admins think this is anthro, everything you wrote above is just a repetition of "It doesn't look like anthro to me" without any arguments for the why.

"Everybody who disagrees with me is either blind or tries to suck up to the admins!" is not a good argument.

Now to make this clear, any more discussion about the tags on this image needs to go to the forum, I'll start handing out records, and if necessary bans, like candy at the chocolate factory for any continued discussion below this comment.

Real quick, I just want to apologize for even bringing this up in the first place. I caused WW3 and am ashamed for it.
