Do we not use pectorals and especially manboobs in this case?
The question is: Do we use breasts for male characters? It's a bit of a swamp of unsharp definitions...
Actually yes, wiki is a bit of mess on this subject.
In my opinion, if breasts look like female breasts, then it is breasts, regardless of whether they are on a girl, on a man or on a trap. This seems to be the way everyone tags it, too.
My undestanding:
There is also gynecomastia that looks like male_with_breasts trap and I honestly don't know the difference. Like, yes, it is a hormonal disorder, but I don't understand how to determine this for a fictional character unless author explicitly says that.
It is not clear what's the difference between manboobs and male_with_breasts. I expected manboobs to be for fatty pectorals of fat men and male_with_breasts for fetish or joke content, but apparently that's not the case, according to wiki.
It is not clearly stated on wiki that breasts is for female-looking breasts, but this rule is implied by tag male_with_breasts for male-looking characters with female breasts.
I also assume that male-looking breasts on female characters are tagged pectorals and that flat chest also includes male-looking-like-female characters unless it looks like pectorals. This would make sense.
And also I'm a bluename, so opinion of someone else is needed. And it's probably better to create a new topic about sorting out breast tags if anyone is interested in cleaning all this.
