<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Help</h2>
<p>CubFur.gay has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of furry/anime artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross). <br /> Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.</p>

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise and content tags</h2>
<h3 class="tag-info__heading"><span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="error">not furry</span></h3>
<p>The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:</p>
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.</p>
<p>Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, for example <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">paw patrol</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong></p>
<p>If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.</p>

<p>The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:</p>
<ul class="tag-info__list">

<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.</p>
<p>Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, for example <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">paw patrol</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong></p>
<p>If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.</p>

<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>

<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, for example <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">paw patrol</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<h2>Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>CubFur.gay has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of furry/anime artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.</p>
</div>
<h1>Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.</p>
<h2>The rating tags</h2>
<p>These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross). <br /> Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.</p>
<div>

<li>Sheaths and balls, as long as they are...
<ul>
<li>Not detailed (e.g. covered in fur)</li>
<li>An anatomical detail that just happens to be visible on an otherwise safe themed picture</li>

<p>CubFur.gay has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of furry/anime artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).

<p>CubFur.gay has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of furry/anime artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential.

<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">paw patrol</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.

<h2 class="tag-info__heading">Why Tags Matter</h2>
<p>CubFur.gay has a lot of different types of content and almost any type of furry/anime artwork and most types of meta content are allowed, thus, the use of filters to only see that which you want to is essential. Tags are a necessity for filtering to work, and rating tags are the most important because they capture large categorical distinctions of content type.
</p>
</div>
<h1 class="tag-info__heading">Important Tags</h1>
<p>These are the most important tags, which you should start out with before considering others.
</p>
<h2 class="tag-info__heading">The rating tags</h2>
<p>
These special tags group content into broad categories. Images require at least one, and non-safe images can have one of each non-safe type (sexual, dark, and gross).
<br />
Note that images only reach a higher rating once they have something in that rating.
</p>
<div class="tag-info__category">
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">The safe rating (cannot be with any other ratings)</h3>
<ul class="tag-info__list">

<ul class="tag-info__list">

<li>Sheaths and balls, as long as they are...
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Not detailed (e.g. covered in fur)</li>

<p>Sexual ratings are a complicated subject that can't be easily generalized in a way that covers all possible cases.

<h3 class="tag-info__heading">
<span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="error">not furry</span>
</h3>
<p>
The "not furry" tag is for images that do not directly contain furry content. This tag <strong>must</strong> be placed on all images that feature:
<ul class="tag-info__list">
<li>Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of a comic about furry character and a human that only shows the human.</li>
<li>Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as robots, sapient objects, or most types of aliens.</li>
<li>Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or non-furry representations.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<br />
<h3 class="tag-info__heading">Franchise tags</h3>
<p>
<p>
You should tag franchises, and characters from said franchises if you are uploading fan art containing any franchise-related content. In general, there are <strong>character</strong> tags, and <strong>franchise</strong> (commonly referred to as "fandom") tags.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, you are required to tag the franchise itself, namely <span class="tag tag__interaction" style="padding: 0 6px;" data-tag-category="content-official">paw patrol</span>, however most character tags would imply their respective franchises, so most of the time you only need to worry about the correct character tags.
</p>
<br />
<p>
<strong>But what if there is no tag for the character in my upload?</strong>
</p>
<p>
If this is the case, simply tag your upload following our tagging standard. Afterwards, you might wish to head <a href="/forums/tagging/topics/character-tag-categorization">to this topic in the Tagging Discussion forum</a> and explain which character tag you wish that we set up.
