Topic: Tag Implication: reverse_cowgirl_position -> straddling

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

It's been suggested before, and will have to be denied for the same reasons. [See forum #130208]

The reason is because it's possible to be in the reverse_cowgirl_position without actually straddling your partner. While straddling is very common, there are also plenty of pictures where the top partner's legs are braced on top of the bottom partners legs, or in front of both of them. Neither of which is what the straddling tag is for.

So the straddling tag won't always fit reverse_cowgirl_position, and that means this implication cannot work. The ones it does fit will have to be tagged manually instead.

My bad (also thanks for fixing a few(?) of my mistaggings ;) )

However, in that case, while perhaps not as common, couldn't the same be said about cowgirl_position as well? Especially with a smaller person on top? E.g.:

That's actually a very good point. I don't know much about the position, but if those characters are considered to be in that position, then the straddling implication isn't valid and should be deleted.

It looks like it was done in forum #130209 but there was no discussion on it.

That is a good catch. It really shouldn't have the implication either. So older implication of cowgirl_position to --> straddling is now deleted.

Although, while I was poking around back there I discovered that straddling is implicated to --> on_top. But straddling doesn't require being on_top and can just as easily be done from the side, like in many stand_and_carry_position images. All of these:

...are all examples of straddling but not examples of being on_top. But because of that implication of straddling to --> on_top they are currently stuck with both tags. And I suspect that this implication is causing many to go untagged with straddling because the on_top tag clearly wouldn't fit so they just go without. So I'm going to go ahead and delete that implication right now as well. It's just one of those implications that works for a large percentage of the images, but unfortunately it doesn't work for all of them. So it just has to go.

Thanks for speaking up. I'm always sad to delete an implication. But if it isn't working, then it's always better to get it straightened out.

Just didn't make sense if one tag implied straddling and the other didn't and figured since one was approved this one would be to, but boy, was I wrong.

I'll go sweep out the bad on_top tags in stand_and_carry_position in a bit (as long as the implication is indeed gone).

I've said it before and gonna say it again: Love the implication system, but on few occasions I've had to scratch my head trying to figure out why a tag is appearing which shouldn't be there.

My pleasure, just trying to do some proper tagging :)
