Seriously; why is this allowed at all?? I feel like there should be a specific tag or something that is just for posts like this, so we can blacklist it or something, even more displeasing is that posts like that are making it up to the high daily ranks right now

and it's not the bestiality tag that is this, there are plenty of characters that pass the harkness test that use the bestiality tag too
Because the harkness test is for dorks.
Also there is no 'tag what you see' criteria for a character's uh... whatever the harkness test actually looks at.
there's realistic_feral, but without examples of what you think crosses the line it's kinda hard to say what to blacklist.
I'm looking through daily populars and am seeing, like, maybe seven over the past 15 days where I believe the characters would fail the test.
Because:
A) We don't want to "thought police" fantasies on this site. Not all fantasies need to adhere to real life logic and ethics.
B) Failing the harkness test is usually not TWYS-compatible (how do we know if a character can't speak or just happens to not be speaking?), so we don't have a good way to tag it. The closest we got is realistic_feral.

That tag really doesn't have anything to do with it. There's plenty of images that have talking animals or human-like actions.

honestly, it's probably more common than not, looking through it. even the stuff this user is most likely complaining about, I'd say, falls within that.
but if I had a guess, realistic_feral is probably the closest to what would work for what's being requested here.

Idk, there's no shortage of chibi/toony/heavily stylized stuff like
post #2747957
Also 'feral' in general isn't going to help harkness test purists with stuff like xenomorphs.
We should ask artists to provide 20 page essays proving why the Umbreon showing off its cock in their art or whatever is actually conscientious with human level intelligence. We could then have heated arguments in the forums about whether Pokemon X or mythical creature Y passes/fails the Harkness test, completely filling it with slop.
This would be awesome.

talking_feral is a tag you might be interested in. You can blacklist feral -talking_feral and that should hide most of the posts that you don't like in this subject.

Do they get bonus points if they define "human level intelligence" or "ability to communicate" in a way that disqualifies deaf/mute/non-verbal/intellectually disabled adult humans?
The Harkness test and its consequences have been a disaster for the furry community.
Asking "Why are there so many posts with characters that don't pass the Harkness test" when your most recent fave is feral on feral is certainly something

Being mad that posts don't pass the "Harkness test" specifically is so funny tho.
I'm chill with rape, murder and incest but not passing the insanely vague Harkness test... Yeah that's crossing the fking line.
Please use your blacklist
