You’re not responsible here, this stuff just comes up some times.
 
Anyone who wants to continue discussing the tagging matter should do so here to not clutter this comments section.

@partylikeapegasister
 
I’m sorry. . . I thought I was helping, now I feel worse :_: I just wanted to try and get them to fix the tags. . . I’m sorry if I’ve upset you more.

@partylikeapegasister  
He is, but I believe he’s acknowledging that the aforementioned discussion kinda went out of control.
 
Anyway, fetish image or not, taking it down would be a shame IMHO because I find it pretty cute regardless.

@Derpy Whooves  
Aren’t you a mod?

@partylikeapegasister  
You can report it for a reason of “Takedown” and someone on staff will remove it for you. Likewise you can report the meta discussion here in the comments if you would prefer, much of it is probably Rule #6, this comment included.

@partylikeapegasister  
Not your fault

Holy shit, how do you delete an image? I post my art to derpi as an archive, not to debate on people’s personal own fetishes or medical issues. I didn’t mean to start drama.

@ArmadilloEater
 
Alright, I can accept this reasoning, I suppose. In the end my ultimate goal here was to get you guys to at least consider the tags and how some people might feel, and I think I’ve accomplished that. The main problem I have wasn’t me, I get crap for the diaper thing from time to time but I have the appropriate fetishes, so I expect it. There are others who get ridiculed and shamed for being associated with it even if they don’t have the fetish. And I understand that currently the tags while they mean no harm, are being used by others to shame and ridicule people who are not at all into the fetish.
 
I just hate that people make these jumps from things as simple as “diaper” to “SEXUAL FETISH” then all kinds of assumptions. . . It’s painful enough for me, and I have the fetish, I can only imagine how much worse this is for people like the artist who get lumped in just because of things they can’t control.
 
Thank you again for explaining in a more satisfactory way your reasoning and explaining that there is no hidden agenda for discrimination here. I just wish more people would realize that just because something is tagged “Fetish” or has a diaper in it doesn’t mean that its sexual or something.

@Midnight_Shadows  
My apologies Midnight Shadows, we had no intentions of bringing you any form of anguish, we only wanted to enforce our tagging practices. In this case the fact that the one wearing a diaper is an adult (the tag abdl implies this) alone means that the picture needs to be tagged diaper fetish. It is literally in the definition of that tag: “The character in the picture is in a diaper, and is not a baby”.
 
There are no hidden thoughts nor insults intended, we are simply applying our rules.
 
You have to understand, tags do not carry any judgment, they only are used to make it easy for users to search and filter content, they are not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings: we actively remove tags that are meant to be attacks. And the term “fetish” itself isn’t necessarily something sexual, it can also be about intense interest or focus. In this case it’s the best term we have in our tagging kit, though we might work out a better system to avoid these kinds of situations.
 
I hope this explanation is satisfactory, but if not, feel free to PM me if you want to.

Artist intent is certainly taken into account when tagging is concerned, but it’s used to clear doubt, not as the last word. The rule specifies that the artist intent takes precedence in case of dispute only, and for specific tags (like shipping tags). In the end what the the image shows is the most important factor, as it is how users will perceive it: if someone has filtered “diaper fetish” to avoid seeing adults wearing diapers, and they find one while browsing, it would be a unfair to expect them to know the intent of the artist or the commissioner before thinking “this picture is missing a tag”.

@Derpy Whooves  
From what I can tell, the main issue seems to be about the usage of the tags, and after checking the tagging history I see a dispute mainly about the “fetish” and “diaper fetish” tags.  
In the history I see that the artist themselves has previously removed those tags, and after reading through rule #2 of the site, is it not the artist’s decision, and to a certain degree the owner of the displayed character, whether the tags belong on this image or not, seeing as they themselves would know best of the intentions of the image?
 
Please do correct me if I’m wrong or if there is something I have misunderstood.
 

I find it sick and disgusting that you’re actively saying people who have a disability don’t actually have a disability and that it’s a fetish.
 
 
@Derpy Whooves
 
Wow. . . you’re pretty dense aren’t you. . . like everything you’ve just said completely ignores everything I said. Diaper Fetish doesn’t offend me. This image being tagged as diaper image, again, does not offend me. It’s the fact that you’re actively putting someone through mental trauma over this that offends me. The complete lack of compassion and moral compass with you guys is totally lacking. You are actively condoning the labeling of an entire group, you’re labeling a disability as a fetish, that’s sickening. You don’t understand what’s wrong with that and it makes me sad for you. I hope you know this falls under discrimination. This site for whatever reason treats diapers like its some kind of fucking crime or always has to be a fetish. News flash, it isn’t always a fetish. Educate yourself before you comment please. ABDL isn’t always a sexual fetish. Infantalism and regression can be used to cope with trauma such as PTSD and other mental issues. This image here, this image of my OC, is an extension of my own mental health coping with problems I suffer with irl. Maybe you should think about how you make people feel and how your actions hurt those around you before you get on your high horse.

@Midnight_Shadows  
The artist themselves tagged this “Adult Foal” and “abdl” (Adult Baby / Diaper Lover), which are sexual fetishes - that you, personally, do not consider paraphilic infantilism to be a sexual fetish is your own personal choice, but the community sourced tagging on this site does see this as paraphilic infantilism and the artist’s decision stands.
 
If this image being tagged as such is offensive to you, please unsubscribe from this image and hide it. And, given your feelings on the matter, perhaps you should also filter the tag “diaper fetish”.
 
If you would prefer your OC tag be removed from this image, please let me know.

@Derpy Whooves
 
Even though it’s not diaper fetish at all. . . So you’re sexualizing something that isn’t sexual. I did read your reply. I have always had problems with the mods on here for makign stupid calls. Again reasons why I hate my OC being posted on here. It only causes drama and hurt for others involved. I personally think the staff should have to appologize to the artist if you don’t do anything else. I don’t care what happens to me, but I see what this is doing mentally to people who actually have incontinence problems that aren’t into diaper fetishes, having it labeled as one is mentally damaging and honestly downright irresponsible of your mod team. For shame.

@Midnight_Shadows  
Please reread my reply. I believe I said exactly the opposite of what you are accusing me of saying. That said, I’m not a tagging wonk, and if the tag is required on this site for filtering and searching, then it should be in the image. As you can already see, not having the image tagged so people can filter it is attracting a lot of drama.
 
If it helps, think of it as putting books on shelves in a library. In this library, one of the shelves it goes on is “diaper fetish”.

can we just all chill and enjoy the cute art T.T

The character is incontinent. Way to fetishize a medical problem. . . Thanks for sexualizing my character guys. This is exactly why I hate having art of my OC posted to Derpi. . . Because of dense people like you. . . Also who ever said this was an adult character? Thats you guys implying that, there’s no cutie mark here so.
 

 
@partylikeapegasister  
I wouldn’t worry about arguing with them, its usually not worth it, they’re pretty dense.

@Derpy Whooves  
Safe tagging can be argued about, but the “diaper fetish” tag is needed.

@Snicky  
That’s only for sexualized images.
 
@partylikeapegasister  
I’ve asked someone who specializes in tagging to help out here.
 
Everyone else; please stop tag warring on this image. If the artist says it’s not fetishistic or sexualized, then I don’t see any reason not to tag this image as safe. There’s nothing happening in the image other than a pony wearing diapers.

@Background Pony #4B31  
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I know what the definition of “adult foal” is.

@partylikeapegasister  
Technicalities aside, this is the tag description for diaper fetish. The tag still applies here.  

@Snicky  
Age regression is a coping mechanism, not a fetish. Neither I or the commissioner are getting off to this. If this were a sexual scenario I would have tagged it as suggestive or explicit. Thanks for your input though.

@Snicky  
There’s over 70 other “adult foal” pictures that are tagged “safe” though. If the rating is wrong for those, then someone ought to look into bumping it up as well.

Since you reverted my changes to the tags I’d like to explain: Adults in diapers are to be tagged as Suggestive at least (literally in the description of Suggestive) as well as Diaper Fetish. Since you tagged it yourself as ABDL and Adult Foal I’m assuming the character is an adult.
