A tag for imminent danger

Posted under Tags

BUR #56102 has been rejected.

create implication imminent_death -> imminent_danger
create implication imminent_attack -> imminent_danger
create implication imminent_suicide -> imminent_danger

danger says to use peril. peril had an attempt at deprecation in topic #33524.

We currently don't have a tag for "things are about to seriously go bad". We have impending doom, which was converted to a tag from a pool, but that's more for humorous situations, and there's very small overlap between it and imminent death or imminent rape. (I foresee this tag will also need to be renamed at some point to make it clear it's for funny stuff, but that's for another time)

imminent rape is also so big that it would dwarf any other tag, so I'm leaving it out on purpose.

This is an attempt at consolidating all these tags, feel free to chip in with more tags.

imminent attack right now just looks like a lot of incoming attack posts.

I see the peril wiki describes predicament bondage as a tag for when a character is in a perilous bondage situation. Except the predicament bondage wiki feels like its describing something completely different.

There's a genre of in-danger-and-scared-out-of-their-mind focus post (post #10840716 post #10875833 post #10951796) which are mostly being tagged with peril. How do I blacklist these? I'd think they might be ryona but none of those posts have the tag.

I'm going to make a more impassioned plea to keep peril:

topic #33524 decided that peril was just another tag for general danger. It's not. There's a reason the majority of posts are NSFW. It's for a specific genre of sadistic post that features bound or otherwise trapped characters in threatening situations generally with a focus on their reaction (scared shitless) to being in the situation. (Though like every tag on this site, there are a bunch of mistags.)

It's something that I don't want to see. I'm certainly not looking to hide post #9599380 or just about anything in imminent attack. There's no other tag that describes the seriousness/sadisticness of these posts. peril is a subgenre of ryona, however Danbooru's ryona tag says it's for pain/bruising and it isn't applied to most of these posts.

Is there data on the frequency of certain tags in users' blacklists? peril must show up some.

If it's supposed to be a fetish tag how about we rename it to the name of the fetish to make that more clear? Even though I've heard of this fetish before I wouldn't have guessed it was that by the tag name alone, which is probably why people have been mistagging it.

The English name of this fetish is "damsel in distress" which is too ambiguous for a tag name since it's also the name of a common writing trope, but the Japanese name is more specific: "heropin" (ヒロピン) which is short for "heroine in a pinch". It seems that peril's wiki already used to have ヒロピン and related Pixiv tags as other names until someone blanked them a few months ago when trying to deprecate the tag in topic #33524.

According to the Pixpedia entry for ヒロピン, the tag is most heavily focused on superheroines (such as magical girls) being cornered in desperate situations, but not exclusively. I believe regular heroines (meaning any female lead character, non-super) are also included, as well as male characters (rarely). The entry also confirms that it's a subgenre of ryona, which we already use a Japanese name for the tag name on Danbooru, so doing the same for heropin seems reasonable.
