Danbooru

Tag Implication: izayoi sakuya (cosplay) -> enmaided

Posted under General

I thought that was the point, that there'd be no visible difference (making the tag look weird).

But I'd like to know what the practical difference is between enmaided and just maid in the first place.
Since we only tag by what we see, the enmaided qualifier of not canonically being a maid is kind of unusable...

Tagging on Danbooru follows three principals:

  • Tag what you see (not what you know)
  • Tag [only] what you [and others] want to search for
  • Tag only what is objectively agreeable on

Non of these principals are followed blindly or absolutely, nor should they be. It's all about compromise and good judgement.

A similar topic has been discussed in forum #73975. Your argument against enmaided also attacks alternative costume, adapted costume, young, adult, alternative hair style and alternative hair color.

Tags like these are useful and easily agreeable on, given just a little outside knowledge about the character (which you need anyway to tag the character name).

Fair enough... but isn't enmaided specifically already covered by maid alternate_costume?

No. At least, probably not. Not enough to warrant deleting the tag, in my opinion. A few examples off the top of my head:
