We need to come up with a local standard for defining anthropomorphic creatures made from goo.

goo_girl is not acceptable, as this is gender specific. goo seems to refer to the existence of goo, and not specifically a creature constructed of goo.

Blar.

How about amorphous?

I like amorphous, but how about going through goo and replacing the non creature ones with another tag like wet or slimy.

I wouldn't support changing the tag. Goo's a good tag for slime-creatures.

How about goo_creature

Interesting. Perhaps.. 'sentient goo' to differentiate from just green blood or slime?

That said, I think I honestly like goo_creature best (with goo_girl and goo_boy aliased to it.)

I would say slime to denote ... y'know.. puddles of goo, flecks of goo, etc, but slimes are actually a living critter in some settings (.... living_goo?) or. all of the 'living things' could be 'slimes'.. though that word isn't as... uh.. not gross.

that said, the goo tag probably needs some clean up as I see several creatures that jjsut seem like they're melting post #205771 or are simply coated with a gel-like fluid: post #206571 which are different then 'obvious' slime creatures: post #183766 post #186888 or cube/blob shaped critters: post #163655 ... worst, there apears to be a LOT of pictures which are jsut tentacles or cum (post #183277 post #139681 post #134587)

so.. perhaps the different varieties should be labled differently? there seems to be:
1) goo-people (tranparant humanoids)
2) goo-things (blobs or cubes like from minecraft or dragonquest or such)
3) melting people (probably shoudl jsut be 'goo people rather then a separate category)
4) not goo at all and instead are tentacles which may be covered in a slimey substance, or cum, or other sex fluids and should be relabled.

I'm not suggesting any tags for these, jsut trying to get 'everything' on the table for clarity.

living_goo & goo_creature sound good
Why alias them though? For example, a straight picture featuring a goo_girl and a male anything-else would render a search for living_goo male pointless, and vice-versa (which is a similar argument for the loli/shota thing in forum #38123)

slimy for the adjective

Most times having a gender split tag is redundant. Can we have an alias or decision put in place before we clean up the tag? I don't want to change a bunch of tags when an alias will just do it in a second
