Topic: [REJECTED] Tag implication: chubby_female -> female

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Implication seems fine to me, though it feels like it should be part of a BUR, instead. One that implicates all the chubby_[insert gender] tags to the appropriate genders, as well as to slightly_chubby. Though, I'm definitely against the aliasing. The entire point of the chubby tags is to cover a range of figures that are a bit heavier than can be called skinny, but not heavy enough to be called fat (or overweight, as we tag "fat" 'round here).

chubby/slightly_chubby is a mess. chubby is aliased away to slightly_chubby, and all too often I see posts with overweight characters tagged as slightly_chubby either because someone doesn't want to tag it what it is, or because of they went to use the chubby tag.

IMO it was a mistake to alias chubby to slightly_chubby, but this is the problem: people seem to want to use 'chubby' for something that's more than slightly chubby, causing posts to be erroneously tagged slightly_chubby when it's clearly more than slightly. Swapping the chubby -> slightly_chubby alias would muddy the distinction between (slightly_)chubby and overweight characters, and having slightly_chubby, chubby, and overweight all separated would be hard to manage with the same problem of distinguishing them.

While it may not be totally correct, I think topic #25949 was on the right track. If people are going to under-evaluate a character's weight, it would be better to alias chubby tags to overweight, and let slightly_chubby stand on its own instead of taking all posts people want to tag as chubby.

From what I see the problem from there is the low-range of slightly_chubby taggers getting things thrown into overweight.

chubby_* tags seem too messy to salvage. Might be better to just remove them.
