DB WORKSHOP: Tag discussion

Unedited screencaps are always safe, no matter what. If they’ve been edited in any way or made to loop in just the right, sure, whatever.

Suggestive is meant to be a rating tag people can use to filter out anything “too hot” for the show.

unedited screencaps are always safe, even with “out of context”.

Bedroom eyes and other indicators of imminent snu-snu

if it needs the bedroom eyes tag, which is always at least suggestive

Have I got news for you.

Bedroom eyes and other indicators of imminent snu-snu

Err noo, very obviously false?
I guess you could campaign for the changing of the description, but those are not meant to be 100% positively absolutely always perfectly descriptive, they clearly are trying to describe a group of indicators in that sentence.
(PS. no mistagging. You can not seriously mean that fluttering eyes pushes a pic into NSFW territory? please.)

As for screencaps, the show is rated kid safe therefore by definition any screencap can’t be anything but. Now, if the animation was cropped, looped, etc. THEN as an edit it might have a different rating, but otherwise not.

I think the line that Solitude quoted came up directly in the discussion about the “out of context” images as people asked whether they should count as “suggestive” since they are clearly chosen with that kind of intent and discussion in the comments is likely to be in the same vein, and TSP ruled that they should be Safe still.

That aside, to the original question about fetishes (though Solitude is a genius and answered everything just fine);
I think it should be clear that most fetish targets are items that are not sexually exciting to the common person, therefore they are normally Safe. Yet the more emphasized they are in a pic the more clear the purpose of the pic is. eg. diapers on baby pones, normal; diapers on adult pones, veery indicative of being fetish material. Same goes with very detailed throaths and insides in vore pics for example (they even tend to follow a standard style). So there’s really no way to assign the “…fetish” tag to jut one category. And yet I don’t think it’s too difficult to notice them becoming more pronounced as the pics make the move from Safe->Suggestive->Questinable even for someone not into them.

There are a few times in the show where characters are giving seductive looks (a certain scene from Rarity Investigates comes to mind) and the tag would still apply there.

@Twilights-Secret

because I recalled something about the fetish tag implying “suggestive.”

Just to point out: according to the guidelines

Suggestive
-Minor fetish scenarios (e.g. tickle torture)

Questionable
-Major overt fetish scenarios (e.g. inflation, diaper)

 
But that seems a bit inconsistent with the idea of “suggestive” being “imminent snu-snu,” and questionable being something that’s, well, questionable if it’s “safe” or not.
 
Also, what makes a fetish scenario “minor” vs “major overt”? Clearly something can be extremely suggestive, but like those examples I linked earlier, this >>1111469 really doesn’t strike me as more “safe” than this: >>1097482 …
 
…I dunno, though, I don’t really want to stir stuff up but I just kinda want things a bit more fair? I mean, like I said, the thing that kinda bothered me was how it’s universally agreed that even the tamest pictures of adult ponies in diapers needs to be questionable, but those sneeze fetish pictures passed just fine as safe. Can we just agree that because they’re fetish pictures (entire point of the picture is just the pony sneezing) and so they shouldn’t be safe? That would be good…

Would you believe I just discovered that that’s also noted on the safe tag itself

@Vree
Far as I know bedroom eyes have always been considered suggestive on account of what they’re implying but tags and their usage seem to evolve over time.

change the description.
