Topic: [APPROVED] big_body -> invalid

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #1141 is active.

change category big_body (0) -> invalid

Reason: It’s too ambiguous. It could refer to slightly_chubby, overweight, obese, morbidly_obese, muscular, hyper_muscles, size_difference, or a multitude of other things.

EDIT: The bulk update request #1141 (forum #314314) has been approved by @slyroon.

Given most of those tags apply to a particular category, I wonder if it's not better to alias to slightly_chubby. It's a common enough concept for people to notice if it's wrongly tagged as a result.

Slightly chubby is way over-tagged already, due to chubby aliasing to it when it would be better on the overweight end. I don't think we need more aliases to it that people use for things that aren't merely "slightly" chubby.

Sometimes I wonder if chubby itself should be made invalid, and then the tagger has to decide between slightly chubby and overweight.

The way this is set up has always bothered me somewhat. I feel like there needs to be some intermediary between slightly chubby and overweight, which is what I think people (including myself, sometimes) are trying to do when tagging chubby. Chubby doesn’t necessarily mean overweight, but it’s not always just “slightly.”
