Topic: predator/prey_relations -> interspecies, deimplicate?

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Wikis don't say a lot of things and are not idiot-proof. And there are a lot of idiots.

Nah. If anything I'd de-emphasize the "sexual" part of interspecies. It's usually what is tagged with it but there's no reason it has to be.

But that's a relic from lesbian and gay non-sexual romantic interaction still be tagged with lesbian and gay. Please tell me interspecies doesn't just mean two characters of different species in the same post now. Because that's what's going on in OP's example post. There's no relations going on there.

Yeah, that one doesn't really apply. There's no "relations" to speak of, just 2 characters that happen to be next to each other looking back.

My thoughts are if you can tag the pairing gender/gender, interspecies would be fine, as would extending that to predator/prey_relations.

On the other hand, I do think the name "predator/prey_relations" is kind of confusing. Perhaps we could move it to something like predator/prey_interspecies instead?

I don't think that that would add any clarity. Most people seem to get that the predator and prey are different species. It would be better to revert back to predator/prey to be consistent with male/male, female/female, etc.

And again, the wiki doesn't match the working/assumed definition of predator/prey "relations".

As written in the wiki predator/prey_relations could fit on that post but not interspecies.
