Looks like it. What’s more, both should probably be aliased into overhead view. Although it looks like both tags will need a little clean up before that happens. There’s a few images in both both tags where I’m not really sure what the tagger had in mind when they added them.

Bringing up something i talked about before, but should the chocolarity tag be nuked? One of the mods said they would nuke it but i think they forgot about it.
 
It only seems to be maintained by one guy, and we don’t have any other tags for showing a certain character as a certain skin type.

nah, rating thing was purely opinion.. if a vulva is vaguely showing but nothing else is really going on at the time then imo it should be questionable.. but whatever

That opens up the possibility for people to make tags of any character with any skin tone and that is unnecessary when there is already general skin color tags. We don’t need light skin fluttershy, medium dark skin rainbow dash and dark skin twilight sparkle tags too.

>all fat fetish stuff  
Idk what tag you’re looking at but there’s plenty of non-fat stuff under “chocolarity”.
 
@LightningBolt  
I agree with the general sense of not needing a ton of granular skin tone tags, but there is absolutely no way to address appearance or action tags to the relevant characters. Searching “dark skin, rarity” only searches for images where “dark skin” and “rarity” both occur, regardless of whether there is a dark-skinned rarity or not. The only workaround is to limit the search to solo pieces, but that cuts the potential results to a fraction.

It is not very important to be able to find or filter that specific thing, and that is never an argument for anything like that, the only reason we have tags like that about breasts, butts, and dicks is because people kept making them and made them too big to stop, but not every little variation needs a specific tag for each character. Just imagine how absolutely annoying it would be to have three skin tone variation tags for each mane 6 and then finding an image with them all humanized and tagging or having to see tags of
dark skin twilight sparkle, medium dark skin rainbow dash, light skin rarity, light skin fluttershy, medium dark skin applejack, dark skin pinkie pie
 
it would be downright exhausting and bloated, and that isn’t even giving them big breasts or dicks! Triple those tags for busty * and futa * for each and that is a metric fuckton of tags all for what, just to find images of a specific character humanized with a specific skin tone? Humanization isn’t as common as them just being ponies or anthro and nor arethe skin tone tags always used so an extra niche on top of that for a specific character with a specific skin tone when as a human is ridiculously specific and people really need to learn that tags cannot cover every possible topic ever that specifically and will actually need to deal with searches not being 100% for every possible scenario.
 
tl;dr no

Tags like this also tend to become very under tagged as the original maintainer(s) lose interest or go on to do other things and the tags fall into obscurity, whereas the more general tags prove to be more reliably and consistently tagged over time.
 
For instance, at a glance dark skin, rarity still appears to be at least 80% dark skinned rarity. So you get ~80 results on the obscure specific tag and 500+ results on the more general tags.
