Topic: Tag: not_funny

Posted under General

I can see that my tag-fixing campaign for the works of Hardiman isn't going to be as simple as I thought. Case in point ... the "not_funny" tag.

Do we REALLY need this thing? If you don't think an image intended to convey humor is "funny" say so in the comments. Personal opinions of an image, or its "message", if it has any, should not be in the form of tags.

There are only four images with this tag. There are people who just don't "get" parodies. There are people who are going to gripe at anything Hardiman puts out that's even remotely a stab at one of the furry sub-cultures. Let them complain in the comments.

I think the tag "not_funny" should be removed and be blocked from ever being resurrected.

Updated

Tags being used solely to express feelings about a picture really don't have a place here in my opinion; tags should be used for describing details in the picture, not whether you think something is funny, or cute, or evil, etc. I'm not going to chime in on making not_funny an invalid tag, but I'm for removing it from the pictures that have it.

Done.

Thanks, null. It won't get rid of the whiners, but at least you sent four of them a message.
