They do have some utility. The pun/compound tags were kept specifically because they specify which character has the tagged attribute. Although I will concede that the [Busty X] tags are woefully misapplied and subject to endless interpretation. (And I’m thoroughly amused that the corresponding flat-chested pun tags remain in the wild.)

Still don’t feel that was necessary to separate as the reason the tag beanie (plushie) was aliased into beanie wasn’t because I somehow magically assumed plushie beanies were more searched, but that it felt pointless to make a special (plushie) tag for something that was rare/never going to cross over into each-other anyway.
 
But it’s too late now as Zeb did it anyway.

No it didn’t, as no one actually searched with that tag. It was just aliased and never killed and for some reason, some people assumed that meant the tag meant something when it didn’t.

In a related subject, "Delicious Flat Chest" is also massively misused. Apparently the overexposure to some people of artwork featuring characters with size GGGG breasts have led them to believe anything below 64DDs are “flat.”
 
Every time I see an image with something like 32B cups tagged with it, I strip it immediately.

Yeah. There’s many warped views of breasts.  
Such as breasts where each one is as big as the woman’s torso have been argued to not be “impossibly large” because “There’s at least one person who did have breasts that big. So it’s not impossible”  
Yes. I’ve seen that exact argument.
 
Same with penises. I mean, when you actually look at the sizes people put on these ponies. The dang things should be piercing the girl’s lungs with how long it is. Not to mention being nearly as thick as a leg~

Do the arguers for those breasts not being impossibly large ever take into account the rest of the body proportions of the real life examples?

Back in the day, as in PB era, the tag was first used for the sort of breast size you’d only see in specialized / fetish porn. Over time it warped into “anything larger than an A cup”. All because of people tripping over themselves to go “LOL BOOBIES XD !!”. Meme tags are great when they describe a meme, not when the tag is a meme.

Well there are some natural, and fake breasts in real life that get ridiculously large. Like three times the size of their own head, or something like that. So they are technical correct in that argument. Still, I think I even requested at some point to change it to “ridiculously large” because that is what they mean. Thought, the line between huge and impossibly large is pretty vague as it is already.

Yeah, especially with an internal view of the penis where you can actually see that it takes up 3/4ths of the woman’s interior torso space leaving no room for internal organs. When I see that I wonder if the artist really doesn’t understand actual internal vaginal anatomy or if it’s just exaggerated for fetish’s sake. I assume the latter and hope it’s true.

So, I’d like to ask a little question, should the pictures that were done by artist:monon0 uploaded during Fame and Misfortune of Toola Roola from G3.5 really be tagged as foalcon and as spoilers for that episode?
 
Spoilered, since the pics range from Suggestive (1) Questionable (1) to Explciit (the rest):

I removed the spoiler tags, but was asking just to make sure.

Well they certainly look like foalcon, so I’d say the tag fits.
 
As for the spoiler tags, Since the character existed before the episode, I don’t think they need the episode tags. Unless they directly reference it~

Alright and it doesn’t reference the episode, as these pics existed before Fame and Misfortune aired (as evidence by the date they were uploaded on Pixiv, which I personally checked).

Meme tags are great when they describe a meme, not when the tag is a meme.
 
Thank you. I think this is where a lot of my frustration comes from when people (either intentionally or unintentionally) decry meme tags. Of course, some meme tags are just tautologically the name of the meme, such as ayy lmao, and are fine so long as they’re relevant. The issue is when the tag name itself is a meme independent of the content. There aren’t any good examples on Derpi, but on Imgur the eat what you want tag ends up on any post that involves eating, food, and sometimes nothing at all - it’s just another place to put jokes. At that point it’s hurting both the usability and credibility of the tagging system.
 
I do think a happy medium exists, where a tag has a rigid definition but a name that’s idiosyncratic. Something that says, “this is just what we call it on Derpibooru, and when you see that you know it’s Derpibooru,” such as not salmon. That can lead to a sort of symbiotic thing with the subject matter, where memetic mutation happens by way of the images themselves, bringing about new tags like maybe salmon and actually salmon for once because some dork drew not-salmon-ish content but put fish in it on purpose.

When I clicked that, I expected it to be the mane 6 plus Starlight plus Spike, not Sunset. Mane seven is well-established with Spike as the adjunct, and Sunset Shimmer so far has not been canon outside of Equestria Girls. So far as we know, she won’t be.
 
I’d say we let some enterprising young moderator with mass-editing capabilities repurpose the tag to mean the mane six, plus Spike and Starlight Glimmer, of which there are currently 400 images.
