but the wiki page says "A bikini that covers little beyond minimum requirements to avoid nudity charges, with the covering bits connected by generally thin strings."
Although I was kind of wondering why we had two tags for essentially the same thing.

..... someone was incredibly wrong. that describes a micro_bikini

Okay let me see...

bikini was created on 1/22/2017 by "imagoober" ... so it's not an old and well established page or anything.

Okay, more RL bikini women are in the following links.

link | link | link | link | link

Those are all string bikinis. They, technically, cover little beyond breasts and crotch, but then you have stuff like these:

(Again, scantily clad RL women warning)

Link | Link | Link | Link

Those are micro string bikinis. They are both micro_bikini/microkinis and string bikinis at the same time.

Not all microkinis are string bikinis, though MANY of them are:

(Warning, we are going into the realm of nude here. These are real life women who are wearing an extremely small amount of clothing. Like, I could probably wad one of these things up and shove them in to the so-called pocket on my jeans.)

Link - This is ...closest to a sling bikini (SLING not STRING -- these are one pieces that are very revealing... showing off parts of the sides and belly)... it is a microkini and a sling bikini, but is not a string bikini... (well, I mean.. technically it is, but..)
Link - Also a sling micro bikini
Link - This is a bandeaukini-- it has a bandeau top-- which is a top with no shoulder straps.

I found a micro sling bikini that I'm pretty sure is photoshopped onto a nude model and the longer i look at those other pictures the more I'm not sure that they're not the same....

So... To sum up:

A string bikini is a construction method/style.

(Think of it this way: A swimsuit is a skirt. A string bikini is a pleated skirt. A pleated skirt can be long, short or anywhere between the two. It can even be tight, or loose. It can be made out of a stiff material that holds please well, or a loose one. but no matter what, they're all pleated skirts.)

A microbikini indicates the amount of coverage.

(Like a miniskirt. Your miniskirt can be pleated or not pleated. Your miniskirt is goign to be short, but it can range anywhere from "pretty short" to "extremely short".. ... but it can't be long.)

Some microbikinis are string bikinis. Some String bikinis are micro bikinis. but not all. :)

So... yeah, the wiki's incredibly wrong.

Ahem.. now that I've ranted on the topic, I"ll go fix the wiki, haha.

sketch_page

SarahColley said:
So... if I gave a more proper example of what I was talking about, would it then be sketch_page?

That example is definitely a sketch_page. Also, solo, duo, and group to cover the various unrelated sketches... not that I like all three tagged on the same post. (The group is center-bottom, a solo_focus character surrounded by several faceless_female mouths/tongues.) On the other hand, a person searching solo duo group together should want or expect to find posts like that.

That post is also multiple_images, multiple_poses, and ambiguous_form. I think all the various crotch_shots may belong to adjacent characters, but it's frankly too hard to tell (hence, ambiguous_form).

That post is a good example of when tagging every minor detail can lower search relevance.

Even if, say, it was on a much smaller scale? (e.g.: ~4 to 5 things on the page rather than 20+)

Looking at the posts tagged sketch_page, yeah, I'd say posts with just a few drawings or sketches still count as sketch_pages.

lurid colors

SarahColley said:
Is there a tag for when characters have oddly/vibrantly colored naughty-bits? Or maybe just a vibrant/unusual trim color in general juxtaposed on a more normal/downplayed body?

No, or I highly doubt it.

I think that's something that could be tagged and would be a useful, if subjective, tag. I would broaden the tag concept, though, to include any lurid or harsh color decisions. The tag should not be used as a negative label, like bad_art, even though it will happen.

post #1227810

I would include that too, and not just for the red_anus. That post hurts my eyes. The rich redness and mechanically precise fishnet are glaring.

growers and showers

Wdvefbthm said:
Are there tags for "grower" or "shower" respectivley?

No. Although the concept is taggable in very limited circumstances (i.e., must show becoming_erect), I foresee a great many mistags. Also, everyone would need to agree on how much bigness qualifies as a shower.

You'd be better off searching flaccid big_penis for shower and flaccid -big_penis for grower and then fantasizing the penises' erect lengths. In fact, attempting that illustrates the problems with reaching consistent size standards, but the penis wikis themselves don't help that much. (1) People don't tag penis size nearly enough to begin with, and (2) furries/Internet porn junkies have bloated size standards. Still, those searches do return enough relevant results.

idols and fans

SarahColley said:
A few questions on fame-related things (5 total)
1) Is there a tag for when a fan is interacting with their idol? E.g.: post #734531

2) Is there a tag for when a popular figure is servicing or doing something for a fan? (Self-insert/anon pics wouldn't count-- unless being "a fan" is at least heavily implied, if not mentioned outright.)

3) And the other way around? (An idol using their fame to get things they want, like using their fans for sexual relief.)

4) What about when someone is just freaking out about their idol in general? Be it while doing something sexual with them, viewing a very sexual image of them, or otherwise.

5) If "no" for any of the above, which ones should have tags, if any?

I've been asking a lot of questions lately. Good thing I'm running out of things to ask...

In general, when I'm checking the existence of tags, I just go to the Tags page and enclose a likely term or word partial in wildcards. Or I do that first before attempting concerted brainstorming, looking up synonyms, or skimming quasi-authoritative resources if I go that far. Tags with names that are lexically distant from their concept can become "undertagged", forgotten orphans, like barely_contained, because they are hard to search.

In this case, I don't think we even have a proper tag for "idol" as a person. We do have a few celebrity posts and various celebrities are tagged by name. fan is aliased to fan_(disambiguation), which only lists fan objects and fan_character (OC). This whole line of tagging is almost non-existent.

Under *fan*, we have fanboy/fangirl, fanfiction, and fanfic_art. Also, furry_fandom/fandom.

1. For that example, autograph thankfully exists. For the overall concept, you'd probably just want to tag "idol" and "fan", whatever the correct tags are, in the same post.
2 & 3. I think those ideas and others could be encapsulated in a fan_service tag. Normally, people would associate fan service with gar, racy shots and scenes, romantic shipping, and other things "fans want to see", but since that's all furry is about, that usage is ironically redundant for tagging furry art, meaning it should be okay to appropriate the term for something else. In other words, the ubiquity of fan service in furry art frees the tag for other uses.
4. Just tag their emotion/behavior/response if you can think of the right word. Probably excited. We also have admiring/admiration and *worship* tags like idol_worship and hero_worship.
5. Well, for this to work, we'd need to settle on proper tags for idols and fans first.

caught and joined

FurryLover121 said:
Do we have a tag for "somebody caught a couple having sex and ends up joining in"?

I think that's too specific? We have walk-in, exhibitionism, and voyeur to describe the parts before the joining in and the group_sex tags for after. There's also the range of inviting, seductive, bedroom_eyes, and presenting tags.

double_dildo

Untamed said:
Do we have a tag for "one character using both ends of a double ended dildo"?

Not specifically, but that should be tagged double_dildo double_penetration.

Do we have a tag for both ends in one hole?

Search/Tag double_dildo + double_[orifice] (anal/vaginal/oral/whatever).

internal, translucent_body

Yfycat said:
Is there a tag for internal, but without a cutaway implied?

cutaway does not imply internal, though. This is already answered in the internal wiki.

You want translucent_body. I know, I know... the problem with translucent_body is that it includes ghosts, goo_creatures and other characters that are completely translucent as opposed to selectively "translucent" internal views. If we instead used a translucent_internal tag for those selectively internal views, that would be enough.

sunlight

g273435d said:
Do we have a tag for when sunlight shines through leaves and creates little spots of light?

post #1484878

"shines through leaves and creates little spots of light"

u wot

You probably want sunlight, with shadow and shade? I believe a more exact literary term for what you've described, excluding any light rays, is "shimmer".

Tree canopies and shade are actual botanical concerns. You may find the perfect word or set yourself on the right trail by scouring these links:

Canopy (biology)) (wikipedia)
Crown (botany)) (wikipedia)
Shade tolerance (wikipedia)
Distinguishing Degrees of Light and Shade

We also have a bunch of alias-bait like daylight, light_ray, sun_rays, light_rays, god_rays, godrays, sunbeam, etc.

I'm caught up!

Well, maybe I've read too many books, but...

Dapple - mark with spots or rounded patches. As in, "the floor was dappled with pale moonlight"

Dappling can be used to refer to an interplay of light and shadow... or various coat colors in some animals. (the Merle pattern is occasionally called dapple... but it's most commonly used in reference to Horses x x ... Dapple/silver Gray is a specific "kind" of horse coat color, like palomino, or buckskin.

Anyway. when I search *dapple*:

19 - dapple - seems to be fur markings
14 - Dappled_light
8 - Dapples - seems to be mostly art of one character who is a deertaur with a spotty flank
7 - Dappled_sunlight
3 - Dappled - mix of sun and fur
3 - dapple_grey - fur only, refering to the horse coloration.

as well: shade_dappling, sun_dappled and sun_dappled_light

So... I think I support dappled_light for the atmospheric effect (because Dappled_light+night/day would do what ya need.) and dappled_coat or something for the fur markings.

ineffective_clothing

SnowWolf said:
On that note: do we have a tag for "this clothing is barely doing it's job"?

Like: post #1483426 post #1478151 post #1439691

I mean, yes, skimpy, but like...

it feels weird that all of these are in the same category:

post #1481165 post #1469415 post #1457256
post #1456256 post #1475098 post #1473995

ineffective_clothing, for clothing that visibly fails in concealing from direct view the penis/balls, pussy, anus, the breasts' nipples (areola count, I guess), and arguably exposed butts "while worn normally".

I noticed the question on my reading pass but forgot and missed it on my answering pass.

Also, in general, I'll probably stay away from discussions about types of clothing, subspecies, characters, things like that.

I wonder if the non-bra in the original example should be tagged string since its strings do not appear connected to any [flat scrap of cloth].

Of course it would be a real lighting thing, particularly for photography... Hmph.

Should move all to dappled_light and mention it in lighting under Related tags.

1. Do we have other tags for lighting effects or techniques?

shadow of course. I know about sparkles and particles (like embers). Sometimes floating dust particles glint in light sources (post #1148142). I've tagged bright for lighting that makes something difficult to look at or see clearly (post #1405736, post #476071, post #471676), similar to dark.

2. Speaking of clothes, I could not figure out exactly what kind of hat they're wearing

I looked at Wikipedia's list of hat styles, and the closest hat I found is the tricorne.

Hmmm... sunbeam is one I know about that is under utilized. Might be better as beam_of_light or something to include "moon shining through the trees' as well.

past that... those are good thigns to tag. Yes. I especially like dust particles in light. It's a very pretty effect. Yes.

I'd agree with Tricorn... though it could be a bicorne. Or maybe soem weird cowboy hat thing.

But the 'feel' of hte image is american revolutionary time period, so, I'd say tricorn I think

So, right now I'm going through things that are tagged bow_tie trying to find things that should be tagged as hair_bow or tail_bow (because I have noting better do do on a sunday night) and I've been coming across quite a few that I'm not sure how to tag.

post #1314487
Here's an example

So, this image contains a bow on top of a gift box; bow_tie isn't right since that's for when a character is wearing it on their neck.

post #511855

There are also images where characters are wearing bows on parts of their clothing or on other parts of their bodies, I'm not sure what tags to use for these either.

Any help?

Updated by anonymous

Start clothes_bow and gift_bow?

For the record, we use clothes_[object]/[object]_(clothing) and [adjective]_clothing. present is aliased to gift, but we do have christmas_present.

This will always be a problem with that project until the buck stops somewhere and some new tags are started.

Ribbon is a non-specific tag that can be used though I suppose you'd have to create a new tag to be more specific.

Also, I realised that we have ear_bow and flower_in_hair, but we don't have a tag for characters without head-hair who attach flowers at the ear. I'm not sure if something like flower_behind_ear would be appropriate.

post #1439582 This is technically fur-in-the-head-region
post #1434790 Well, this is flower_in_fur technically, but fur is hair and hair is fur, right?
post #1428576 - none of these are really BEHIND the ear.
post #1428500 - for that matter, a lot of these are flower NEAR the ear or flower IN FRONT of the ear.

is this correct? I dunno, but I figure most people who want to see ear-flowers don't care if it's in front, beside, behind etc.

I wonder why some tags like the “artist_signature” tag are used a negative amount of times, I know this is a little off topic, but it’s weird.

Should we implement a "right_to_left" tag? It'd apply for images that're read from the right to the left, unlike the regular left to right. It's currently tagged on 19 posts, but it'd seem particularly useful for users who don't know (or don't want to see) this particular orientation.

I believe the manga tag is generally used to indicate when text should be read right to left. I suppose it could be helpful to have a tag specifically about reading direction though.

Maybe something like right_to_left_comic to prevent potential mistags for right-to-left motion/looking/arrows. Yeah it's probably not super likely, but eh, it might. It'd also be more obvious what it means to people stumbling across the tag for the first time.

honestly, 'manga' is an incredibly wibbley sort of idea. what defines a manga? does it have to be japanese in origin? is it a style thing? what about western artists who draw in the manga-style?

better, I think, to have right_to_left/right_to_left_comic tags then something so vague as "manga"

Yep, that it is.
I'm not sure about the merits of the right_to_left tag, though. Can it really be so hard to figure out which way to read a comic, and if someone's having trouble with that, would they think of checking the tags..

And it seems pretty unlikely that it'd bother someone so much that they'd want to blacklist it. I suppose there's no harm in tagging it, just seems pretty pointless to me.

To be honest, I have had trouble telling what the reading direction is before. It's difficult when there isn't a clear chronological order that is immediately apparent. I think one of them was the Black Jack comic (pool #8940).

I was actually reading something about panel lay out in american comics versus japanese manga a few months ago.. I cna't find it again off hand, but the jist of it was basically that manga artists established Rules about how to lay out panels so that no one reading will be very confused about what panel to move to next. Japanese comic readers tend to quickly understand this flow-of-panel... but american comic makers tend to have more confusing lay outs because they've never had to adhere to these quiet rules.

Anyway: I've read way more manga than american comics... and honestly, I can find it confusing too. Some people flip comics while translating them, some people write them 'western style' to make them more approachable, some glorious westerners decide to do them 'backwards' to better emulate manga styles.. it can get confusing.

take post #1405765

in the top half of the page, you have impatient aligator, then a face full of dicks. You also have the girl finishing up on the phone. So: If the alligator saying "Hey, stop it with the phone!" and she finishes up her phone call? or is she chatting on the phone and he interrupts with mouth-dick? The bottom frame comes after the other three, of course, but it doesn't really help-- as it's more of a 'in the middle' frame and could follow either of the above two.

This is complicated when you have anything less than a perfect translation-- the rhythm of Japanese and other Asian languages is quite different than english. so you end up with things like "I've been on a sexual relationship with them" or "my lust is big to a point I can't hold it" ... and it becomes easier to get confused on the flow of panels.

Also..

After a glance through, the manga tag IS a mess.

Manga are comics. If one is a japanese speaker, it has a little more of a loose definition, but in the english speaking world, manga is comics.

Yet, in the first 100 results:

There's no consistency on right_to_left or Left_to_right-ness.. it's just... vaguely tagged.

So...

I support disambuguating manga and using right_to_left_comic and left_to_right_comic

Sure. Someone just has to go through, determine what all the right tags would be, try to figure out a solution to prevent future mistags, then manually go through every image to tag things correctly.

With only 1011 images, it's not so bad.

What do you think should be there, and what is there that shouldn't be there?

It's designed to describe visible artwork *within* the image, but ends up being used to describe the media itself half the time(the incorrect use).

Posts can be cleaned up manually every so often, but I imagine the mess will persist as long as the tag/wording remains the same.

I'm not sure I'd be the best person to suggest alternative tag names, just throwing the issue out there and hoping someone with more experience can lend some advice

Not sarcastic--just a bit flippant, perhaps. That *is* what needs to happen. Just, it's hard to find someone else willing to take on someone else's project. Most of us start tagging things because *we* want to see change. Someone coming in and saying "Someone else should fix this" doesn't gain much traction, y'know? :)

But the first step is always establishing what needs to be done: a messy tag means SOMETHING, somewhere's unclear or unintuitive. not everything can be intuitive, but we can always try to be better :)

Isn't this what the _(artwork) suffix (e.g. colored_pencil_(artwork)) was supposed to fix? I guess it didn't work very well.

It's a tricky area, I think. the artwork tags were well intended, but I probably would have disambiguated the original tags as well.. a character should use, in my opinion, colored_pencil_(object) and be drawn with colored_pencil_(medium)

... a painting, in a picture should be a painting_(object), done with paint_(object) (probably), as part of the creating_art activity, but then, maybe painting_(activity) would be more straightforward and could imply creating_art or whatever it is.

but now I"m suggesting overhauls of systems currently in place.. and well established :P

I remember cleaning up a page or two of them around when I joined, but had other things to be doing that day and quickly lost motivation.

I know it's going to require more actual discussion, this is one of those tags I guessed had been brought up previously on the forums so I didn't want to start with a big essay.

So-

From what I've noticed is Painting has a high initial failure rate, but as you go back through the pages it gets better, probably due to people fixing the old ones up as they come across them. I'd guess it's over 50% correct at minimum.

So at this point it'd be better to fix the remainder so they can be mass-edit-implied cleanly before disambiguation, no? I'll see if I have time to fix some later.

We probably don't need any additional tags for now (talking about painting_(activity) vs creating_art etc); You could probably combine a search for creating_art with a utensil and get usable results.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Generally tags with multiple meanings should get disambiguated and specified.

post #1488807

Not checking any of these before I link 'em--gotta run, but..

Off hand, we've got big_clitoris, enlarged_clitoris, and hyper_clitoris but none of those are really.. a penis.

There's pseudo-penis but... I can't say a lot of these look like penis-shaped clits.. looks more like an excuse to draw herms c_c but I admit I havn't studied the, uh, natural counterpart, so maybe it's realistic.

There's differences, but it's pretty subtle. The male hyena's penis has a pointier tip with a bulge and a fold around the very tip while the pseudo-penis is smoother and less pointy. I wouldn't expect laypeople to know the difference (hell, a lot of people think they have canine penises with or without a knot), especially since it isn't always obvious at certain angles.
A hyena with a pseudo-penis shouldn't additionally have a vagina- they mate and give birth through the pseudo-penis. I feel like most people who know enough about hyena to know they have a pseudo-penis (even if they don't bother/want to look at references) will also be aware of that factor.

Canine... ugh. I can't see how anyone can know one fact and not the other, but I know Far Too Many animal facts for my own good. But I have long realized that most people do not have the focus on detail that I do... for some reason c_c;

Anyway, the shape difference is interesting!

...

Whatcha think about Twenty's picture?

I guess pseudo penis doesn't apply-- after all, it seems to be a FUNCTIONAL penis..

.... Maybe it's just a herm?

I'm not into herms so I don't usually browse through them, but clitoris-as-a-penis-base seems like it ... should be a common thing maybe?

I dunno.

Yes, people often used "futanari" for "hermaphrodite without balls" (I can't currently access Jisho, so I'm not sure if that's accurate). However, we just have hermaphrodite -balls so rather than aliasing futanari to its own tag that was clearer, the two forms were merged together.
Doesn't help that some images under that link above will have a standard clit and a penis, either: hermaphrodite -balls clit immediately shows pictures such as post #1459141.

Edit: Did a bit of searching for definitions elsewhere, and Futanari literally just means hermaphrodite, somebody with both genitals. It has nothing to do with having testicles or not, so the alias does fit. We should, however, have a tag for a penis_clitoris/clitoral_penis.

It looks herm to me- it seems to have a vagina as well as a penis. It looks like the artist is aware that the clitoris and penis develop from the same tissue and took that into account with the design. The biggest issue with a tag for it might be making sure it's not undertagged and deciding what to do with weird cases (like a regular ol human dong positioned where the clitoris would be but is clearly just a regular ol human dong).

What's so special about a human penis that it should be singled out? A penis is a penis, and if you replace the clitoris with a penis, you've replaced the clitoris with a penis.

Eh, it's kind of a picky thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The type of skin on the length of the shaft is a bit different- closer to what's on the rest of the body than the skin that covers the clitoris and makes up the clitoral hood. That difference will affect whether or not it'll read as a modified clitoris or not to the average viewer.

Is there a tag for when an image characters (and maybe a foreground object or two) are colored, and while the background isn't simple, it still lacks color?

How about the reverse, where characters and foreground are black and white but the background is colored? And, would that image qualify for spot color because only the eyes of the characters are colored, or would the colored background make it invalid?

Just partially_colored. There's no specific tag for uncolored background, as far as I know.

1. You have to be careful with tags describing panels and text bubbles arranged right-to-left because some languages are written right-to-left which is something else.

2. I would have suggested painting_(object) too, but also alias painting to painting_(disambiguation).

post #1488807

The top image probably passes for enlarged_clitoris on e621, which often is a small "penis clitoris" IRL, but I wouldn't tag that because the other two images make clear that's a herm's functional penis and not a clitoris. I don't think we have specialized herms' genital arrangements at all except perhaps herm vs maleherm, but you can tag that herm sackless, which has lots of similar results.

Don't we have a specific tag for when a tauric entity has the anthro half of the same species as their quadruped half? We can count the wings as the "arms" in this case.

multi_leg

I only see birds with four legs supporting a horizontal spine, not mixed species. I don't see any positively feline features, let alone that of lions as specified in gryphon's wiki. Those birds also lack the horizontal + vertical spine combination of taurs.

Use multi_[body_part] tags when a character of a given species has more of a type of anatomical structure than expected. Fantasy body types like anthro and taur can modify those expectations. Unclear if fantasy creatures with no base animal or distinct body type to reference, like toppingtart_(artist)'s "flesh angels", should have multi_[body_part] tags rather than #_[body_part]s tags, but I suppose any unnatural-seeming amount of a given anatomical structure safely qualifies for a multi_[body_part] tag too. (That is to say, how can a creature have more [body parts] than expected when there can be no expectations because the creature is very alien?)

I would call those birds alternate_form, but that tag seems limited to franchise characters with appreciably different appearances than normal.

Thing is, while they are all based on specific ~individuals~ in mythology, they've been appropriated as a ~type~ of creature. While character is, technically, accurate, the character tag would only serve to cover images that are intended to, specifically, be the character from mythology. (such as Pegasus_(Disney)) ... and then you'd have a lot of posts tagged, say... winged_horse, 3_headed_dog, lion_with_goat_head_and_snake_tail.... and to compound the problem... well, Pegasus-the-disney-horse is distinctive, but how many *specific* depictions of pegasus are there? We know he was white in color, had wings and.. uh.. was probably a very ideal horse for the time. but that's about it. surely not every pegasus white_fur is a depiction of pegasus, but we just don't know :)

Cerberus is even worse. I mean, his 'offical' description is three headed, with a serpent for a tail and other snakes "protruding" from him. The earliest descptions had him with 50 heads. Others gave him 100. Yet another said 1 dog head, 100 snake heads... yeah.

Eh, fair. Shame, I liked the way chimeric_genitalia sounded XD

Er... the things is, there isn't one style of bird foot. Birds have weird-ass-feet.

  • 3 toes in the front, one in the back.

4 toes, arranged in an X
3 in the front, with two attached together, with one in the back.
4 in the front, but the outer two can bend backwards.
3 in the front.
3 in the front and one off the side a bit.

The other thing.. well, the wiki was made back in august by 'The White Crow'... he's been around since 2014, has 1 wiki edit, 0 forum posts, and 14 tag edits.. and added bird feet to 4 posts, haha.

I feel like the wiki creator was seeking things like:

post #1220994 post #1391415 post #1220910

where attention is given to the feet looking like a bird's feet and legs: skinny, fine boned, standing on toes, rather than cartoony styles. post #1118736 post #1157786 post #1262680 ...like real birds, not humanoid_feet or plantigrade feet.

Which I can totally get, just, people are saying, "it's a bird, these are it's feet, hey!"

If aiming for the foot arrangment, maybe something like avian_toe_structure or avian_foot_structure ... or... for the leg style thin_bird_legs or natural_bird_legs

eh, it's not a race I have a horse in. <3

eh, maybe, or maybe just an honest mistake.

Ugh, tha'ts fair.. it's a shame, I really liked how it sounded as a tag :)

Just to note, i created 'bird_feet' for those who have an avian foot fetish. I dont require those rough + bony feets to get a birdly hardon, but i do find them adorable and figured anyone who finds it smexy could search it. There are multiple types of avian feets and it would be annoying to search all of them when one tag could show them, along with showing non-birds with bird like feets. ^~^

Also, i made this account ages ago for a contest that the site had but never signed on much since despite coming here for many years. When i saw the tag for bird feet, i figured i could give it a wiki and add every fitting pic i found to the tag. Im a bit more active now tho, but mostly to comment and talk to artists or make a smartass comment that gets lots of upvotes....heh

Is there a (working) tag that shows group (more than three) of multiple females and a single male in one group, but not necessarily engaged in sex?
(basically I'm looking for reverse_gangbang, but without necessiy for sex or explicit rating - as reverse_gangbang always contains sex - as per definition in wiki:

[...] where one character is having sex with a group of characters

and thus is alwyas explicit.)

multiple_females

is aliased to female (and as such does not really have any info about how much females are there), same as other tags that could tell the number of female characters (see female) - and same thing with male_solo - it is aliased to male along with other tags that could tell number of males in the picture.

group

tag does not really resolve the issue as it can also include pictures with:

a) duo and the group in the background
b) multiple groups
c) multiple males and females (in case of male female group)

harem

does not fully resolve that either (having three meanings, and most images are heavily asociated with stereotypical "arabian nights" style harem), but it seems to be the most accurate by far from what I've tried. Is there something similar to that one thant I'm not aware of?

Not yet, but tagging those seems like a good idea.

There were plans to add some subtags for the goo_creature tag once the old goo tag got fully sorted out, but the project has dragged on for couple of years...

With nearly 4000 posts, goo_creature is well-established enough to start adding subtags. But as usual, coming up with tag names is pretty hard. I can't think of a compact tag name for 'half-formed goo creature'. And we also need some subtag for completely amorphous/shapeless ones. (I remember someone suggesting goo_blob for those).

I guess as a brainstorming thing, maybe using the word "puddle" (or "pool" if you want something shorter) could be used for specifics. puddle/pool_legs/arms/limbs, puddle/pool_body, etc. And as a more general tag/super tag to those, maybe partially_held_shape, loose_shape/body/form, malleable, or something along those lines.

For the "goo_blob" thing, maybe there could be goo_blob for shapeless ones and goo_figure for ones that retain some kind of shape?

Well, fair enough for the partially_held_* bit. Just trying to come up with something that isn't super long. Your suggestions were good, but would "full_goo_body" and "partial_goo_body" also suffice?

Personally, I'd think "puddle/pool_arms" and "puddle/pool_legs" would already imply that the hands/feet are the same. And, even if the legs are only half-pooled (knee and below), I'd say it applies for the tag. But... I guess there could be situations where formed hands are rising out of the puddle to grab something. Probably not feet though.

Is there a tag specifically for when part of a goo creature's body isn't fully formed? (Some examples]

I'm not aware of one. We can call it incomplete_form (a *_form tag, like split_form). What's the over-under on mistags for that with a decent wiki and populated with a sampling of correct posts? The missing body parts could also be tagged, like armless and legless. stump might be ideal, but that's disambiguated between tree_stump and amputee.

In a similar vein, cross_section for body parts and objects that end prematurely in a simple cut view (post #309070), but that tag should be rethought so it's not redundant with ordinary internal shots.

Or, if that's too common of an occurrence, for the opposite? When its body is wholly formed? (Some examples]

I wouldn't tag that differently. Just tag goo_creature + a body type and assume they're whole by default. Instead, tag every situation where that's not the case. Having said that, you could use complete_form to round out incomplete_form or tags like full-bodied_goo_creature, anatomical_goo_creature, or corporeal_goo_creature.

Maybe with shape shifters or something.

:/

Looks like a junk tag where users have tagged a known "power" regardless of visual evidence. That tag can be cleared out and well-populated with unforced and unassisted transformations, though, if someone wants.

One thing I kept seeing from goo_creature posts was the constant dripping, so I was always asking myself if they were just dripping or if they were changing shape as part of a self-goo_transformation. goo_drip could easily be a tag, perhaps to differentiate goo_creature goo from slime, a separate substance.

And we also need some subtag for completely amorphous/shapeless ones. (I remember someone suggesting goo_blob for those).

There's two kinds of amorphous goo creatures: one is a creeping goo puddle that may have no shape at all, and the other is a rolling goo blob with more of a defined shape. They're both uncommon, but the creeping goo puddle is rarer. Good game monster names...

Disembodied_* tags also describe detached body parts, in addition to floating, ownerless sex object body parts. Should those also be tagged detached_* if that's what they look like? Perhaps.

Now, "when a goo creature's body is split into multiple pieces" can also describe mitosis (splitting, or spawning new bodies, drones, or satellites), clones perhaps, and look like assimilation (one character is made to look more like another).

Example being this goo dragon I found that separated its head from its body so it could go out back and service itself.

Adding on to everything else, a goo creature deliberately altering its form like that is performing one kind of goo_transformation.

Oh. I was under the impression that those were purely for when the owner of said body parts isn't pictured in the image, along with not being attached to anything, while detached_* was for when they were pictured.

It is? But the wiki says that's for when goo / a goo creature is turning someone into something else, or for when a non-goo creature gets turned into a goo creature.

So, a standing, anatomically correct male feral cat, would also have balls above penis.

Other arguments against 'inverted' or 'reversed': Doesn't specify what specifically is reversed. Also if it's just 'genitals'- that's very vague and would appear to include unusual vulva/vagina configurations. Penis_behind_balls might work- could potentially be mistagged for poses but I don't think there are many poses where that would be applicable without a reach.

And, if used to tag, say, pussies with clits on the bottom, and the vaginal opening on the top... well, bluntly, that's usually a fuck up on the artist's part rather than a design choice, much like the 'upside down' penis where the head's on the wrong way.

Penis_behind_balls might work- could potentially be mistagged for poses but I don't think there are many poses where that would be applicable without a reach.

I like that one more, but it probably has smiliar issues to the one I brought up

well, let me brain storm at this a moment..

  • reversed_penis_and_balls

upside_down_balls_and_penis
balls_over_penis - similar to balls_above_penis, but maybe?? over changes it enough? I dunno, I'm brainstorming, not logicing
marsupial_style_penis_and_balls
marsupial_style_genitals - this could actually be an interesting tag: I mean.. we have canine_pussy and canine_penis, maybe they should imply canine_style_genitals? This is probably over complicating, though. I'm good at that.

Hmm... can't come up with any others and none of those seem like 'the winner', so... hmm..

My vote would be for reversed_penis_and_balls. It doesn't seem to have the same issue as balls_above_penis (character is upside down, character has feline genitals and it looks that way, etc), and also doesn't have the same implications as the word inverted which can mean inside out. It also avoids limiting the tag to marsupials, which leaves rabbits out.
