Tagging Discussion » "neck nuzzle" and "neck hug": merge or separate? » Post 1

Background Pony #F53B

With regards to neck hug, I had written this in General Tagging Discussion, and will copypaste here:

Hm, yes, “neck hug” as a phrase could be interpreted as “hug targeting the neck” or “hug performed by a neck”…

Looking at a few that are currently tagged with “neck hug”, for ones like:

I think hoof around neck/arm around neck ought to be used instead of “neck hug”. The one with AJ and Rarity could even be a side hug.

For ones like:

ordinary hug plus arms around neck seems like a good way to identify it.

This leaves “neck hug” for exclusively the horse behavior of “hug performed by a neck”:

I had also written that IMO nuzzling in general is defined by being a pushing and rubbing of one’s face and head into and against the subject of affection. Some neck hug pictures could have both behaviors, like:

and

and there are a few where I’d remove the neck hug tag and instead use neck nuzzle, such as:

but this leave the question open whether nuzzling against someone else’s neck is a concept worth keeping distinct from “nuzzling” in general.

Contingent on what, if any, action is taken in terms of potential aliasing or not, neck nuzzle ought to imply nuzzling

Moving this discussion to a dedicated thread from the General Tagging Discussion so it doesn’t get buried by the page break and other topics.

Should `neck nuzzle` and `neck hug` be aliased or separated?

If separated, description text for each would be necessary to define what is a neck nuzzle and what is a neck hug.
Around 300 images (220 neck nuzzle + 85 neck hug) would need to be recategorized to the new definitions if a separation is the solution.
Is a neck hug defined as hugging with the neck or as the neck receives the hug?
Would whichever tag includes the behaviour of hugging with the neck earn a horses doing horse things implication? IRL horses use their necks to express affection to their preferred humans as well as to other horses.
