Topic: Tag Alias: cum_on_body -> cum_outside

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I'm not entirely convinced cum_on_body or cum_outside is even useful as a tag. Not that I expect anyone to convince me or anything, but...

Can't you achieve basically the same thing with cum -cum_inside?

+1 cum on body is very general, if you're looking for this kind of stuff just use the cum* tags

I'm neither for nor against aliasing it to invalid tag, but:

Not really - cum can be somewhere else. Like flying (cumshot), or on ground.
Also someone may be looking for cum_inside but without cum_outside.

Well, cum_outside is a very broad tag, which could include things like on the body, on the floor, on the bed, on the sofa, etc. If anything, alias cum_outside to invalid_tag, because it frankly is very generic.

That's what I'm worried about too. It seems likely that cum_outside would get mistagged a lot, if it were used more widely.

Personally, I like how Danbooru and Gelbooru handle that tag group: both use cum_on_lower_body and cum_on_upper_body, which seems to work pretty well without being too specific.

Thought I may want to search for things like that, I can honestly say that my laziness would probably keep me from typing out such long tags, lol

Once it's typed in once, as long as you don't clear your cache it'll be in the search history.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just bookmark it?

...That never even occured to me.

That's true, but I rarely ever do single tag searches unless I'm, uh, browsing my big kinks. More often though, I'm looking for specific things in an image, with 3 or so tags minimum (almost always with order:favcount thrown in there too), and only re search those same things every now and then. Caching it in my search history would only be slightly helpful to me.

I use e6 for reference images. Its the best way to get inspiration for unique furry anatomy, like wings n tails. My last search was something along the lines of dragon wings spooning -feral order:favcount so you can see why it would be such a chore to have massively long tags in there too.

I'm starting to think that the only useful way to alias/implicate this would be directly to cum. As it is right now, cum_outside seems too ambiguous to work any other way.

At least that's the impression I get when I read the tag name.

Updated by anonymous

Despite the ambiguity, cum_outside seems to be fairly consistently tagged. There are a few that are actually precum, but all of the cum-related tags have this issue anyways. I couldn't find any that wouldn't work equally well tagged cum_on_body. Therefore, I went ahead and made the following changes:

I think it would be worth revisiting at some point, but I left off any cum_on_stomach, etc. implications for the moment as they don't seem entirely necessary and would probably require a bit more planning than this thread would allow.
