Alright, I tried checking if there was already a thread about this, and right now my net's working less than fantastically, so if there is one, I didn't see it.

First, I think there needs to be a tag for poor edit work. There are few tag searches that don't have some poorly-edited laughable images. A good example are some of Sigurd Hosenfeld's images that weren't made into nudes by the artist himself. Seriously, they're hilarious. But bad edits like that need a tag, so people can omit it if they're not interested in a chuckle while browsing titty pictures.

Also, I am begging people, please tag damn futanari/shota pictures. If it is a girl with a penis, tag it such. Some of us enjoy blacklisting that because we prefer our women to have a vagina. Hey, not judging what anyone's into, but please be considerate enough to tag things extensively for those of us who don't want dick girls, and would rather not spend our bandwidth, or the host's, mistakenly clicking them, or loading their thumbnails.

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of lazy uploaders who don't tag anything at all. If you see something you want tagged, you usually have to do it yourself. I just wish we didn't have to pull up the pic to tag it. Being able to edit the tags on thumbnails would be great.

you have some good eyes if you can tag just based on the thumbnail :D

If there is a poor edited image.. just add poor_edit to it ?

I actually tried that before I suggested this, and even uploaded an image to test it on new uploads (If you decide to remove that image, I understand but I find what I did funny if cliche). And it didn't seem to register right. Maybe I did it wrong, or there's a propagation period before the search works after the change or upload has been put in effect? If so, then I will bear that in mind in the future.

New tags appear, but it seems to take a while for the system to register them. Blacklist, search, etc. seem to take a while before they are recognized.

Ah, duly noted. Thank you.

You don't have to be blind to see a woman with a throbbing dick, or two men engaged in an intercourse.

That's not always true. Sometimes if the picture's rather busy, all you can see is flesh toned godknowswhat. You don't know until you see something bigger that there is a gender-confused penis or homoerotic action being undertaken. Especially if it's Japanese style, because frankly 75% of the men in that style look like chicks anyhow.

75% of Japanese style look like chicks? hardly, I can see very clearly that men drawn in the Japanese style are men, they don't look like chicks, they look like asian men do with slightly softer lines :).

I mean even IRL there's quite alot of dudes that don't look like masculine meat heads and thank goodness for that, I don't get the point in generalist, rather narrowminded statements like, oh they look a bit femmminine so 75% look like chicks, thats just screams you just dont approve of that style of drawing men and this aint the soap box for that.

I'd say there is only a small section of art which is hard to desern gender to the educated eye, but they are usually girly boy art and where the genitalia is obscure, so that is fair enough but it's certainly not a common occurance.

Exactamundo! Most thumbs are pretty obvious. Nor do I have to open most pics to spot they're loli.

Now, there was no call for attacking my statement. When you have a tiny little thumbnail, they DO all look the same. If you guys can seriously see minute detail in those thumbnails, then truly electron microscopes must envy your eyesight. For us mere mortals, however, it doesn't work that way.

So how else is someone to take: quite frankly 75% of the men drawn in the Japanese style look like women, even if you add in a thumbnail it's still what it is.

Which is a biest untrue statement on an art style, what I said was far from an attack on your statement, just pointed out how silly such a statement is.

You also had made previous statements of other things you dont like, in what you say: "Also, I am begging people, please tag damn futanari/shota pictures. If it is a girl with a penis, tag it such. Some of us enjoy blacklisting that because we prefer our women to have a vagina."

Thats your preferance, I may not like this stuff either, but really the forums isn't the soap box to point out styles you don't like or think are inperfect, just saying.

I've edited this like ten times because I keep thinking, when I return to the post, that I sound like an ass.

I wasn't trying to stand on a soap box and preach the merits of one art style or another, nor be biased about an art style. I was merely giving context to the point I was making - that tagging is a courtesy we should all observe when we post things. I thought I was being funny with the statement I am quoting you ... quoting ... me ... no that's right. Anyhow. I guess I wasn't that funny. Rare miss for me!

Also, what I meant was that in a thumbnail, it all tends to look the same when someone's eyesight isn't 20/20 to begin with. In that situation, it does indeed seem that all of them look genderless or somewhat feminine. This is in fact due how image scaling and the mind's optical recognition work. The one shape most of us can make out, even at that low detail is eyes. And let's be honest, anime eyes have a somewhat feminine nature to them, even if the male character's design is otherwise very manly. So this all culminates in being unable to tell in a thumbnail what one is looking at for certain.

Anyhow ... this is not something worth arguing about. I am not someone who thinks arguing on the internet over petty things is a good use of anyone's time, and I am sure you can agree with me on that.

So, I hereby reiterate that people ... please tag things so that people who aren't into whatever it may be can avoid it, which also conserves bandwidth for this site.

I'm taking my drama pants off, here, before this turns into an argument that doesn't need to exist.

What is, is, things are typed wrong, out of context, misundertood, whatever, it really doesen't matter to me now I've made my observation and pointing out that saying 75% of Japanese style men look like women is not really an educated statement in any context, anyway moving on.

I've said my peace other than, all things said and done that's a matter of opinion. My opinion is they do look feminine, especially when shrunk down to a size my aging eyes can't closely analyze.

Some people may disagree with me. Free planet, I encourage people to think for themselves so by all means, disagree with me. I respect people who aren't sheep so do it.

I've nothing else to say ...
