Topic: The "kid" tag

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Someone put it as a species tag...I'm not kidding heh

But seriously, I was going to change it back to a general tag but then I asked myself, "do we even need this tag"? We already have young and/or cub to replace it. What do you guys think?

Alias to child, since that's actually differentiated from young now.

Didn't even know we had that tag

Well, "kid" is also a young goat. So see the faint logic leading to the species tag

If that's the case then the kid tag is entirely misused because none of the images with that tag have a young goat in them

I like this but I'm still open for other ideas

True, but 99% of the time people use it, they mean child. We'd get a bunch of funky species tags.

+1 for aliasing to child. which should probably be aliased to young

Using it for a young goat would be silly since the site doesn't like doing that (that I have seen), "goat young" would suffice.

I'd err on the side of caution here, and alias it to young. Some of the characters tagged as kid seem too old for the child tag.

For that matter, is 'child' needed separate from 'young'?

Not sure. This is how that tag group seems to be tagged currently:

Baby: 0-2 years
Child: 3-12 years
Young: 3-18 years

But there's certainly some overlap, and the ages are somewhat subjective..

Yeah... I don't think with those brackets that we need them both. They both mean the same thing, so the distinction (what little there is) is minor. Maybe if child was aliased to preteen, as that is what the age bracket is, for those who have that fetish, and it could be implied to young... (Still personally in favour of nuking all cub art, though)

I would agree to that, but perhaps we can set up our brackets a bit different so that we have 0-2 being infant, 3-14/15 being child, and 14/15+ being teen, and have all implicate young. I really do understand why people would want o have them sorted by age group as some very different art is associated with each and I think this is as far as I'd want to go for splitting it up but still feel we need

Feel free to beat me over the head with my idea if you have a better one

I'd do 3-12 as child/preteen, since 13-19 is teenaged (though usually 18 & 19 are excluded because of being legal, which makes little sense to me... They're still in the teens, after all).
