So how exactly are we using the "longma" tag?

The use of the term longma is inherently Chinese and, in the context of a largely English site, I don’t think it should apply to anything that does not look sufficiently Chinese or Chinese-mythological in its design.

The kirin is Japanese, but derived from the Chinese qilin, which is distinct from both the kirin and the longma.
 
kirin = very elegant fae / unicorn-like appearance  
qilin = very beefy cloudy / dog-like appearance  
longma = bulky horse with dragon wings and scale armor

Hasbro wouldn’t have done that if
 
a. they didn’t have an officially licensed pony game and thus need to protect the licensee’s investment and
 
b. bronies didn’t expressly mention fighting is magic to them live on camera…

I’m personally with Chaotic Note on that.  
Because of the new update of my OC MicSet is going to look more close to a chinese like appearance. I worked hard to get this new appearance and I would hate for him to still be referred to as a “dracony” instead of what he is meant to be to me… a “longma”  
And if this were to apply to any equine/dragon hybrid OC, yes, this would mean a lot of retagging, but that’s what the community is for. And besides, the longer it takes for this to be implemented… The longer it’s going to be to retag everything.
 
I know this is a year old post, but considering the new update/reveal of my OC is on the horizon, I would hate for him to be falsely referred to as a made up term, rather than the official one from Chinese mythology that I have intended him to be close to.
 
I only hope that regardless of the decision here, I will personally still be able to tag my own character, my own creation as I see fit, a “Longma”  
I will still use the “dracony” tag along with it, but wish to also include it with MicSet from now on.
