Sibling love and implications

OK, thanks.

[…] I think “sibling love” should do for brother and sister situations.
 
Any chance for clarifications in the three descriptions, then? Because for now, in some cases, the “brotherly love” tag is applied to pictures featuring brother and sister duos. For example: >>2436131.

Hmm… that’s a good point. I misunderstood your question and didn’t notice that a lot of people use “brotherly love” and “sisterly love” for images involving a brother and sister. Also, there’s a lot of images with Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash under “sisterly love”, and unless they’re explicitly sisters in the image, those shouldn’t be tagged “sisters”, though the tag description covers them under “sister-surrogates”.
 
I’m honestly not sure what should be done with these tags now. I asked other staff about it, so hopefully there will be more clarity soon. These tags definitely need some more reworking though.

We decided to broaden the descriptions for the three tags to better reflect the way that people have been using them. Specifically, they don’t assume that both characters are the same gender. This includes your example with Big Mac showing brotherly love towards his sister. Also, the implications to brothers/sisters and siblings were removed since they aren’t necessarily true, especially with the revised definitions.
 
For reference, the old definition for “sisterly love”:  
Displays of platonic love (“philia”) between sisters or sister-surrogates.
 
New definition:  
A sister showing platonic love for a sibling or surrogate sibling.
 
Hopefully this is a bit more consistent.
