do we need the owl_girl tag?

Posted under Tags

I know I'm the guy that's supposed to support anything birb related, but I really don't like granular animal girl tags. We've been trying to move away from them.

We don't have Raven or Crow Girl tags. We do have silly little tags like owl ears. I don't think we need them.

On the subject of owl 'ears'... odd that Miko doesn't get tagged with those despite artists sometimes drawing them the same.

Why not just edit the first post?

Because it's already downvoted heavily

That's a good point, that can also conflict with putting every single owl_ears post into owl_girl.

Probably because most character tagging is just blind copying from the related tags, so it mostly comes down to how the character gets tagged early on. That's why it's a meme to tag Serval with serval ears but not Miko with owl ears.

Technically Miko's aren't actually ears, they're just her hair, so i don't know if that counts for the tag. Animal ear-shaped hair?

Owl ears aren't ears either. Just feather or hair tufts that resemble other animal ears 'mounted on the top of the head'.

Though maybe it should be aliased to owl_ear_tufts or something if the potential ambiguity is a problem.

How is someone supposed to search for specific kinds then?

post #3988540 is clearly an owl girl. It makes no sense to me that we can't tag it as owl girl just because it's a harpy.

Because owl girl now implicates bird girl, we shouldn't use it on harpy. We don't tag individual animal girls on specific monster girls. Otherwise, we'd be tagging every single mermaid as fish girl.
