I don't see the difference between this tag and straight-on. As I recall, we didn't nuke that one even though it was polluted by specific users either - we just cleaned it up (forum #249949).

The issue with three_quarter_view is not its botched initial population, but its vast, vast ubiquitousness. As I mentioned in my initial BUR, these posts are so easy to find that there's no point in having a tag for them.

Really, again?

I was actually going to dm Evazion about this since he mentioned it being good for portraits as an example.

This tag could be useful for things like portraits to distinguish between straight-on shots, from side shots, and three-quarters shots. As it's currently used, for things like comics and multiple views where of course everything is viewed from multiple angles, it's not a good idea. Even e621 doesn't do this.

Length isn't the issue here right? Full body shots would still qualify? And would it have to be exclusive to solo posts? Also we had the aforementioned issue of whether this applies to the direction of the body or the head when the character is turning, eg post #7341994 is clearly three quarter view but which of these is post #7172102 or post #7361099? What is the consensues on that for from side and from behind?, based on body right?

The rules that apply to from side and from behind should apply to three quarter view as well.

So are 1girl, that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a tag for it. The only example would probably be something like "open eyes". Actually I think something that adds to the amount of three quarter view is the strictness of "straight on". If we had "from front" (like from side and from behind) it would probably take a lot of the load of three quarter view for cases where the character is clearly viewed from the front but is not perfectly straight on eg, post #7353737
