The "Anatomically Correct" tag should be changed to "Horse Pussy"

Background Pony #3C87
The current definition of “Anatomically Correct” is “Accurate horse vulva,” so the tag name should reflect that as well so that it can more specifically indicate the genitals like it’s supposed to, in addition to freeing the “Anatomically Correct” tag to apply to the actual general anatomy of the rest of the character. This is important because “Anatomically Incorrect” refers to the anatomy as a whole and not just the genitals, but the “Anatomically Correct” tag only refers to the vulva specifically which is inconsistent and confusing. Especially considering that it is possible for an image to have both tags (“anatomically correct” and “anatomically incorrect”) if a pony is drawn with a horse pussy and incorrect anatomy on the rest of the body.

This has tripped me up on occasion as well. It’s such a ubiquitous term being used in a very specific way.
 
Going by the current definition, this seems originally meant to draw a distinction between your garden variety horse vulva and an accurate horse vulva. That seems worthwhile, but most of us aren’t connoisseurs, and merely see human or horse. On top of that, every artist has their own interpretation of pony biology and may well create something in-between the two.
 
In my experience, anatomically correct has always referred to a character being depicted with any genitals, who is not normally depicted with them, or is a type of being (such as a robot) that normally wouldn’t have them at all. Of course that definition would require any art with visible genitals to require the tag, which is already a requirement for explicit and nudity tags and would be redundant.
 
Lastly, horse pussy already refers to a running gag where those words appear in the image.
 
My recommendations:
 
  1. Redefine anatomically correct to refer to artificial genitalia (such as on robots or sculptures).
     
  2. Anatomically incorrect should still refer to poor anatomy on any part of the body, such as joints where they shouldn’t be, upside-down vaginas, and incorrectly arranged internal organs.
     
  3. Horse pussy should be renamed horse pussy meme, allowing horse pussy to replace anatomically correct.

In my opinion, horse pussy is definitely the tag to use here. Having the main tag as anatomically correct is pretty confusing and unintuitive.
 
My suggestions:
 
  • Horse pussy -> implies animal pussy  
  • Horsecock -> implies animal penis  
  • Both of above imply animal genitalia  
  • Follow likewise for various other types of genitalia (that aren’t human)
     
    I helped set up the tag trees like this on e6 and while they have a variety of art other than furry it worked very well in practice. It worked because it’s the most direct way to refer to the concepts we are trying to tag here, both clarifying it and reducing the chance of mistags.
     
    Note that we could probably skip animal penis/pussy in this case since db doesn’t deal with a whole lot that isn’t horse anyways.
     
    I’m indifferent to what happens with anatomically correct as what it’s used for on e6 is kind of redundant to the animal genitalia tags.

Tag? Tag.
As far as I remember whenever this topic was brought up the answer from mods was “too many pictures would need to be retagged, not worth it” or something like that.

I’m not really a fan of any of these ideas. For one, I don’t like typing or reading ‘pussy’, we don’t simplify female genitalia that much in general, so using that word for it would be jarring, it’s really not tagged that incorrectly yo begin with, I can think of tags far more self-explanatory that get tagged worse.
 
Truly I feel like no staff are even saying anything here cause no one wants to change it. I only said something as this thread keeps getting bumped and I subbed to it.
 
Just because another site does it one way, doesn’t mean we need to do it the same way.

I don’t care what they change it too, but I’d recommend changing it because I didn’t understand it til recently and most new users won’t understand it as is either, since it’s rather jarring to see a picture tagged “anatomically correct” and “Anatomically incorrect” at the same time and what they really mean is that the legs were drawn unrealistically and bending backwards or something like that, but the vagina was horselike. That’s just confusing and nonsensical tag use if you ask me. But whatever.

I’m probably completely misunderstanding how the automated system works, but working on the assumption that aliases are instantly replaced with the primary tag, my idea is thus:
 
  1. Create horse pussy meme  
  2. Alias horse pussy under horse pussy meme  
  3. Purge horse pussy  
  4. Create horse vulva (or next most agreeable term)  
  5. Alias anatomically correct under horse vulva  
  6. Alias horse pussy under horse vulva  
  7. Delete anatomically correct because explicit covers it  
    OR  
  8. Purge anatomically correct  
  9. Redefine anatomically correct as “artificial reproductive organs” - implies explicit

It should be renamed to something like equine genitals on mare or pony pussy on pony.
 
Then create equivalent tags for all major species/kinds, male and female.
 
Then realise that since species relevant genitals are in the majority, it would make way more sense to tag the inverse, with both a “taxonomixally foreign genitals” and a “X genitals on Y” sort of tag.

The first 1-7 looks good to me. Though I’m unsure about leaving the alias on anatomically correct, since it can mean a couple different things (namely “old” definition and “this plastic horse is anatomically correct”). Maybe wipe it and see what people end up using it for over time? I could go either way with this.
 
@saby
 
I don’t really see much of a point to having a tag for “X genitals that belong to the correct species”, less so one with a longer name that is probably going to be grossly undertagged and eventually forgotten about.

Unless I’m mistaken, “X genitals on Y” is in reference to human vagina on pony.
 
I would agree that it is awfully specific, but it does help those folks with very specific taste in clop find what they’re looking for.
 
It may be worth noting that human penis on pony does also exist, though it’s rarely used.
 
My take, excluding the very blurry world of anthro anatomy, would be to keep human vagina on pony and human penis on pony since they’re relatively pervasive, and otherwise rely on the pre-existing species tag. If the genitals don’t fit the species, tag it anatomically incorrect and/or hybrid and/or specify them using human vagina, horsecock, canine penis, etc.
 
Users who don’t appreciate the overlap will be motivated to use their complex filter, the rest can still search for things like human vagina, pony, -human.
