In every other image in the Pixiv set that post comes from, Chara is depicted as a boy, so I think it should be tagged 2boys and shota.
genderswap (otm)
Subset of genderswap where a character who is normally sexless, androgynous, or ambiguous is instead depicted as male. This is usually indicated by the presence of pectorals and/or penis.
Chara isn't depicted with male or female genitals in this drawing though, they're covered by the penis. Or does "depicted as male" include what the artist perceives them as, regardless if a penis is shown?

I agree with Obst if the artist only draws him as a boy then the intention is most likely to depict him as a boy in this one. I would do the same for any other art where a characters genitals are hidden and check what other pieces the artist has.

That may work somewhat for this post, but what if we don't have anything like that to go by? Like if the artist only drew Chara once and you only see their head while they're giving head?

Personally if I was absolutely unsure what to tag I'd default to loli unless the artist almost exclusively draws shota characters. We have two 1other posts with both post #1571955 and post #841830 but I feel there is often context clues which tilt it one way or the other. They are locked tags and I don't know how easy/desirable it'd be to create a new Gold+ tag, it's better to erroneously have one to hide the post for now than to leave it with nothing.
