(Enlighten us, Socrates!)

So in general, I think the "submissive_male" tag works as intended, but it seems that any situation were a male character is being penetrated by a feminine character (female/gynomorph/herm) it's tagged "sub_male" (and "fem_dom", etc). But I wonder if this is the appropriate use of "sub_male".

Obviously images with explicit BDSM themes deserve the tag:

But what about posts like these:

If the male's and females' positions were switched, these posts wouldn't be tagged "male_dom", so doesn't it follow that the posts as they are shouldn't be tagged "sub_male"? Also if the females were male in these posts, they also wouldn't normally receive a "sub_male" tag.

The only way I can imagine this being true is if strapons/girldick are inherently BDSM, or if feminine characters penetrating a male penetration is inherently sub-dom situation. I, for one, think both are false, and it should be explicitly added to the "sub_male" wiki (and other relevant pages) what posts do and don't qualify as "sub"/"dom".

What do y'all think?

People often mistakenly assume that submissive is interchangeable term with bottoming, and mistag it a lot in content that simply have a male character being penetrated as part of sex with no particular power dynamic play going on (those should be just tagged as male_penetrated instead). Submissive tags are supposed to be for characters that are actually acting submissively as part of some sort of power dynamic play content.
