Post should not be tagged with 'pregnant' just because a character holds a pregancy test

Posted under General

It's my personal opinion that posts with characters holding a pregnancy test should not be tagged with pregnant unless they are also visibly pregnant with a protruding belly. If every character that holds a pregnancy test is tagged with pregnant then that would apply to nearly* 100% of the posts tagged with pregnancy_test.

Rationale:

  • When searching for pregnant you are usually looking for characters with pregnant bellies.
  • If you want both pregnant bellies and pregnancy implied by pregnancy tests then you can search for both pregnant and pregnancy_test separately. (Is there an OR-functionallity in the search? If so it could be done in a single search.)
  • Searching for both pregnant and pregnancy_test should return results for characters with bellies AND holding pregnancy tests, whether it's a single character with both or multiple characters with either.
  • The amount of art with pregnancy tests that are negative is negligible at best. So the tag overlap really is about 100%.

I've already enforced this on a few posts that I've come across. So I guess I'm also asking for input on whether I acted correctly along with trying to convince others to do as I do. Asking for forgiveness is easier than asking for permission, as they say. :>

*Exceptions would be images of pregnancy tests without characters that they belongs to, or characters holding a pregnancy test that shows negative.

Edit: Now afterwards I think the title of this forum post may have been misleading, so I changed it.

Agreed that pregnant should be used only for visibly pregnant characters. It looks like @arisboch is who added pregnant to these posts, so pinging him to this conversation.

You can do an OR-search with ~pregnant ~pregnancy_test.

I'm in agreement on having completely separate tags here. I do have one question, though. Are there images where a character is announcing she is pregnant (or it's otherwise implied she is pregnant) but without a pregnancy test visible? If we are sticking to a strict definition of only visible pregnancy for pregnant, then that situation (if it has come up) will need a new tag EDIT: Nevermind. There actually already is one: implied pregnancy. That has been used on one pregnancy test image, but I think it should be completely separate from it as well.
