This Tagging System... (HF)
8 years ago
General
Just a short "wut?" about HentaiFoundry's dumpsterfire of a tagging system.
Like, E621 and Derpi has had really shit ones. And, many of which are still pretty retarded. But, they have patched out some of the most stupid ones.
HF however...
Okay, you know how a "Tag what you see" system is what most sites go with?
This is true for HF, but ONLY for the non-gender content labels. Gender content labels, are purely optional...
They are on a "tag what you feel like.". I can get wanting to be progressive when it comes to gender identity, but this is kinda is going overboard.
To describe it in short: If you post something NSFW, the gender content labels are purely optional. You can use any, or none. Two guys fucking each other in the ass? Label is at yuri, no problem. Or as F, and Yaoi. Or M and Yuri. Or both, who cares! Tag as you feel like.
But, if you post something with only nudity. Then you aren't allowed to use ANY gender labels. (Depending on the situation)
Like, remember my Splatoon "Honey" comic? Yeah, I wasn't allowed to use a female tag in that, cuz "it wasn't relevant.", but if it's explicit porn: Then it's okay to tag with "not relevant" labels. Or if you are on auto-approve, then you can go nuts.
Now, how does the staff suggest solving this? Simple: "Blacklist any content labels you do not wish to see." you mean the content labels, that are OPTIONAL to use? That, I as a user, may tag however the fuck I want? So that I could... I dunno, tag gay porn as lesbian if I felt like it, just to fuck with people trying to find something specific?
I dunno, is it just me, or does this feel rather counter-productive?
It's kinda like ex: Letting wall-street regulate itself, trusting in their "honest intentions".
I mean, if you have a content label that is SPECIFICALLY for something specific, why let it be used for other things? I mean, this is literally unnecessary overkill. There is already a custom tagging system you can use to fill in any gap you want. And you can use the description box to clear anything such as gender identity up. Heck, even FA has a "Transgender" tag for well, transgender characters. But on HF, you can tag them as male, female, both, or all three. It's open season.
At the end of the day. A ex: Futa, is still a futa. And if we have a specific tag for futa... that seems pretty logical to use. But nope, just slap whatever gender label on them you want. For the same of a search system: Doesn't this seem really retarded? I mean: If I now wana search for futa, it's no longer clear what category I have to select to search in.
Plus; I was literally allowed to give a SHOE a gender. A non-sentient shoe. As long as I felt like it. I could give a shoe a gender label...
I mean... COME ON!

It had no consistency or logic to the tags. Like, a equine penis was "horsecock", but equine vulva was "equine_vagina". They have made it a lot more comprehensive over the years, and now you can actually search for stuff without having to guess what slang they gave a certain act or body part xP "Cum_in_mouth" used to be "oral_creampie".
The system is really good as of now... still has corrupt AF admins, but hey: We can't get everything we want, right? xP
I usually get attacked by ultra far right conservatives. (as I DARE to step out of line with how "things always have been") But they seem to put aside their differences and join with the ultra far left as I DARE to attack their beloved dear leaders and the whole capitalistic fraud system in the fandoms xP
Like, how DARE I ask for the same service when paying the same amount of money? I should just bow my head, shut up and take the scraps I am given x3
