Topic: Something that irked me for a good while with the hyper_* series of tags

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Aren't hyper tags supposed to denote the size of a body part being disproportionally bigger than the character bearing them?

Then, why are hyper_inflation and hyper_cum real tags too?
inflation describes a character becoming bigger due to a fluid or gas. This would make about as much sense as hyper_expansion (Only 8 posts, I thought it had 0, but point still stands), yet there we are. It is decently redundant too, thanks to hyper_belly being a tsg i, and other folks I reckon, would tag to characters inflating.
Hyper cum seems to be functionally identical to excessive_cum, and the two tags share a good number of posts.
If it was something like post #3876530 and post #2884097 that had this tag and only this tag then it would make sense to keep, but hyper_cum gets used in the exact manner as excessive_cum. simply having a character jizz out more cum than is reasonably possible gets these posts under hyper_cum.

I do not understand why these 2 tags aren't invalid by now. Do I make a bur?

Incorrect tagging, or non-precise descriptions in Wiki, most likely, when this sort of stuff happens. Like, I'd assume that hyper_cum means it's way more volume than the person it comes from? Meh.

post #3958522 Seems to qualify if what I said was accurate.
post #3964265 Definitely doesn't.

The definition seems... iffy. Needs some clear examples, and is likely not remotely agreed upon by most searchers.

This is already what the tag inflation does because any amount of inflation makes the characters bigger than is realistically possible irl. Inflation is completely fictitious whereas breasts aren't, but ones insanely big are, so the distinction between breasts and hyper_breasts needed to be made I guess.

When I tag a character with unrealistic tummy proportions (either because of inflation or not), I tag inflation + hyper_belly and I reckon others do as well.

Well, things that are bigger than realistically possible aren't necessarily hyper. For example, huge_penis is defined as "above what is anatomically possible but is still, to some extent, plausible looking". I don't understand why inflation and hyper_inflation wouldn't be analogous to huge_* and hyper_*.
