...on e621?
It has a better (i.e. systematic) tagging system than FA. For example, if concept/kink/species/etc. A includes or involves concept/kink/species/etc. B, searching for A will give you both A and B. Another example: on FA, if you want to search for art or stories involving characters with snakes for dicks (a kink of mine), there are multiple possible ways of spelling it out (snakecock, snake-cock, cocksnake, cock-snake, etc.); on e621, there is a single tag (snake_penis), and the different variations are aliased (redirected) to that tag. Wouldn't this mean that an artist's works, especially those that feature certain kinks/fetishs, would be easier to find (on e621), and therefore draw in more potential commissioners? Why then do some artists request that their work not be posted there?
