UNofficial implication thread

There’s no official thread for implication requests, but there’s no harm in making this one for now, right? I’ll use an arrow to mean “implies”.

Upd: when I think about it, I’m not sure I understand how major tags like “boy”, “cub”, etc. are meant to be used here, when considering the character’s species, physical appearance, anthropomorphism level and canonical age (last part mainly concerns copyrighted characters) @_@

open smile —> open mouth, smiling
twink —> male
shotacon —> boy
lolicon —> girl, human
pokemon (species), digimon (species) —> fictional species
I noticed “pokemon” and “pokemon (species)” are aliased, however this means that human-only pictures fall under the aliased tag if there’s a human from the Pokemon series and no actual Pokemon… does that make sense?
wagging tail, tail grab —> tail
huge balls —> balls
pantyhose, tights, socks, stockings, thigh highs, knee highs, leg warmers —> legwear
jeans —> pants
jorts —> shorts
any hat related tag (I know these: beanie, flat cap, cowboy hat, sombrero, beret) —> hat
any piercing related tag (I know these: ear piercing, ring piercing, nipple piercing, navel piercing, genital piercing, penis piercing) —> piercing

I noticed something odd with the way implications work.

So “kid” has this explanation: A human shota or loli. For cubs, don’t use this tag. Okay.
BUT, it’s implied by “solo kid”, which is implied by “solo boy”. However “boy” has the explanation A young/cute looking male. No mention of species here, and we already have “shotacon” for young human males… So here we have this situation where adding the species-neutral “solo boy” adds “solo kid” and “kid”, even though those are meant for humans only… Right?

The entire set of tags related to age/child/cub is a bit of a hot mess and I do want to ask Pup (the admin/owner) to draw some clear guideliens decisions for why in the upload tag list the tag indicated is “child”, a tage that is aliased to young (?!) while the wiki seems to be using “kid” instead, and the distinction between that and “cub” are poor at best. Also “cub” is sued for the generic tags like adult/cub, adding to the confusion.

However, Pup is incommunicado for almost three weeks now.

I found “cub”‘s explanation weird too. Let’s take the seven dwarfs from Disney’s Snow White and imagine them as furries while keeping their proportions, white hair and beards (N/A to Dopey). By this definition, they are cubs, but “cub” implies “young” which they obviously are not (except Dopey).

Sorry, I can’t remember any short elderly furries.

Unrelated, but, Dillocircus, are you the only active staff member during these two weeks? I was going to ask how art link verification works step-by-step (I can be slow at times) and if I had to wait for Pup to get my art links verified, but I found it explained on a Derpibooru thread, and I guess you can verify?

Yeah, I think I’m the only mode who checks in daily (I’ve got a lot of pent-up need for sharing/uploading/tagging stuff since being banned from e621 in 2017 XD).

BTW it’s the only reason some of your stuff hasn’t been acted on yet. I’m not super confident about it, so I was hoping to have Pup review it first. As I noted, the policies and tag definitions are… sort of a hot mess, and I also got told off about one of my upload that I really wasn’t expecting to be a problem!

@Dillocircus
Ouch… I had some Booru-related heartbreak myself. I put too much passion into a free Booru platform that would be shut down in a month or a few.
