Topic: Discussion: Abuse of cum (and variations) tag & tagging system

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

I believe that artists and e621 patrons are not utilizing the tag system properly when it comes to the tag 'cum' and all it's variations. Many of the animations lately claim to display this tag in their art. This is not true, as they have been simply implying it for the viewer.

Most infractions have been with small scale animations and loops. The artist will call the smallest drop of bodily fuild 'cum' because they're attempting to bring in viewers and likes. This is abuse of the tagging system.

Or even worse there is NO display of fluid whatsoever and the viewer has to imply further with a limited animation.

Some examples are in my own tag history for viewing if you want to observe.

Please help tag what you SEE, appropriately. If you don't see it, then remove the tag.

bruh, it's not that deep. Peeps just tag cum when they see cum.
can you explain what people are doing wrong? Even a little drop of cum can be tagged cum
it's not abuse, people are tagging what they see.

There are 2 great examples of cum tag removal in my tag history from the last 24 hours . I also stated bodily fluid and not cum. I recognize when I see it, even if it's a drop and leave the tag appropriately if it is.

I'm talking about blatantly not seeing it at all or just simply qualifying what essentially looks to be pre/lube/being wet as 'cum'

I will start adding posts id's, pre-tag-edited, to this forum body to start giving more examples.

post #4218329 is a recent example of this topic.

okay, you provided one example, the argument has become more valid. I don't see any cum. It's clear he & she has climaxed so there is technically cum.
And it's technically cum on the inside. Though no cum is shown. so implied_cum
you're title is still presumptious. It's not like people are abusing the tagging system. Implied Cum only has 20+ posts under it. Not everyone knows it exists. And clearly
when you see someone climaxing but you see know cum, you're brain is already wired that you'd tag cum.

I myself would have tagged cum & cum inside if I was the uploader.

'clearly seeing someone climaxing' doesn't make it any less implied. It's not being first hand observed. Therefore it's still implied.

Implied_cum tag exists because others saw the gravity of this tag & e621's cum tag miss-uses.

Cum_inside (and all variations) should be illustrated and observed otherwise they can be and are implied.

I gave three examples before this comment rather than one, per my tag history, as stated. I will put them here for convenience purposes following other examples:

The tagging system is being abused by not being used properly and literally.

Please don't create random implied_* tags. There are nearly always better options.
Yes, don't tag cum_inside if there is no cum shown. No, don't tag implied_cum. Just tag orgasm.

Isn't implied_cum and orgasm the same thing.....
To have an orgasm without seeing cum feels like it'd be implied that there is cum...also nobody is creating "implied_*" tags. Implied cum has been around before this post existed.

I didn't create the tag. It's long been around because of this said topic & issue of artists implying cum is in there work without fully illustrating it. Or TWYS is in place and people are tagging too vaguely.

I'm glad you agree that cum should not be tagged if it isn't shown.

Yes, that's exactly why you should just tag orgasm instead. Orgasm has more utility than just another tag that focuses on semen. It can be used for female orgasms and dry orgasms.

Though I agree, I believe this is off topic. Implied cum simply exists because others saw the frustration of others attempting to imply when there is not any observed or illustrated.

I believe those who wish to stop this from further happening should use either tag, as long as the issue is being addressed.

Implied_cum does work for that specific post, I don't understand all the fuss about it.

Trying to address artists and e621 users of not using cum tag when none is illustrated.

(I accidentally hit hide comment after posting due to double tapping, sorry. Reposting if no one can see it at all)
Most recent example being: post #4224048

This post has both cum and precum displayed and it was tagged by the poster. It's either confusion, implication or some tactic to bring in upvotes & viewers.

Attempting to bring awareness to the issue. It's such an issue someone a long time ago made an implied_cum tag out of some aim to shed light to the problem, I believe.

But then we still have a LOT of animated posts that have the cum tag even though you might not see any cum since they use "cum" to mean "orgasm". I remember a few years ago the orgasm tag used to be for any orgasm and cum was tagged if there was visible cum.
