On Artistic Nudity

Posted under General

Considering a lot of pools have been getting converted into tags lately, I was wondering about the logistics of doing the same with pool #2709 (Artistic Nude), as of all the various pools that could be converted to a tag, this is the one I feel should be a tag for people to search for.

However, I worry about the possible overlap of pool #1536 (Casual Nudity), as both handle a similar concept of "Non-sexual Nudity", which probably should face the same fate. What ought to be done here?

I feel like having these two as a tag is a bit subjective, as the only thing that separate casual nudity from zenra is how the setting treated nudity. So I think for now they should stay as a pool until there's a definitive answer to that question.

bump to hopefully reignite discussion, as more and more pools keep getting converted to tags and this just crossed my mind again.

i think pool:Casual_Nudity stands a decent chance of being converted to a tag, though i do worry about potential overlap with existing related tags like nudist, zenra etc. nudist in particular feels like it could convey the concept better, but i figure not all non-sexual nudity is necessarily nudism.

maybe pool:Casual_Nudity could be named non-sexual_nudity instead, just to make the intended purpose very clear? the pool's description already says as much.

i am much less optimistic about pool:Artistic_Nude on the other hand, simply because i frankly do not trust danbooru users to be an accurate judge of what constitutes "artistic" nudity, even less so than casual/non-sexual nudity. i see it working as a votable tag, but that's about the extent of it.

I think it's a very misused pool.
Just check pool:Casual_Nudity bath. It's a setting where you would expect someone to be naked...
I do also think that it can be a tag, but it needs a lot of work to make clearer what is and what isn't casual. For example, post #6094048 imo is casual, despite there being sexual action in the background.
