Hi everyone,

About a month ago I was browsing Pixiv, minding my own business as per usual, checking out the boxing tag like I do, when I stumbled upon a collection of pictures of wrestling in my search results. Some of you have discussed this with me before.

Now of course this might not seem like a big deal to many, but for those of us who are connoisseurs of the puglistic arts, it's a case of apples and oranges. Both are fruit, but you know which one you would rather want.

So I did what I thought was the right thing. I left a comment on one of the artists' pieces, and I told him that both sports aren't the same and all he's doing with tagging wrestling pictures as boxing is mixing up the two, if you want to be overzealous you can call it a "contamination." I was polite and I did my best to let him know respectfully his tags were wrong, because it's literally in a dictionary what the difference between the two is.

This fuckin' guy LMAO

Again, not to make it personal, but he responds back to me in a PM detailing how because nobody has spoken up, it must be okay. Scratch that, one person did, but they were easily waved off. He claims because he makes pictures of girls fighting, period, it doesn't matter what sport he tags it under, essentially throwing his hands up and saying "Don't care lol."

So in response, I told him I would simply keep posting the dictionary definition of boxing on any wrestling pictures that are tagged as the former until he got it right. As long as I can see wrestling pictures still coming up in the boxing results, I will find a way to convey that we have different words for different sports for a reason and his mis-tagging does us all a disservice. (Note: I am NOT adhering to this. This equates to hounding and that's not right. Even if he is wrong my goal isn't to harass him off the site, just to follow the conventions of words.)

Now whether or not you find this petty, I couldn't care less. What I do care about is not seeing our content getting tagged willy nilly like it's all the same thing. e-hentai has a specific wrestling tag, and boxing falls under the ryona tag with all the gore and dismemberment, hardly fair, and he wants to do that to the boxing tagged images. I say no, and I'm putting my foot down. If this causes drama, so be it. If it backfires on me, IDGAF.

If you personally feel the same way, and you know who I'm talking about, please do send him a message and let him know you too don't like what he's doing, but keep it respectful and civil, no witch hunting or anything stupid like that. I want people to be able to create and share their content freely, but in order to do that right, you have to use the proper tags for your pictures. I don't tag my pictures as "wrestling" out of respect for wrestling fans and people who want wrestling content (Also because I know there's a difference as laid out by the fact they have two different words to describe the two different sports) and I'm asking us, as a community of fans of combat sports in general, that we ask him to do the same as a participant. Because it matters to us what pictures go in what category.
