Reason: Alright, so these aliases are really old. We’ve gotten used to not having tags like this, but I think it’s time to reconsider. The tag system in general is far more robust than it was 9 years ago, and this is something that would actually be useful now.
Look, we have tags for basically every body part count going up to ten. 10_arms, 10_legs, 10_horns, 10_heads, 10_fingers, 10_toes - the list goes on. This, for whatever reason, seems to be considered acceptable and not gratuitous, but gender count tags are too much? Come on, these would be far more useful. People would actually use this. There is so much you just can’t search for with our current system of base gender tags, gender pairing tags, and non-gendered character count tags. Want to find a M/F/F threesome? Good luck with that.
I’m not expecting this to go over quietly, but I’m starting a conversation because I think it’s an important one. We can improve our gender tagging, so let’s talk about how.
