membranous_wings?

Posted under Tags

We have feathered_wings which applies to both angel or bird wings or anything else feathered, we have insect wings which, while much smaller (only 10k) encompasses things that are very visually different. But we don't have a tag for the (often very simmilar) demon, bat and dragon, etc wings. Other sites call this membranous_wings and I really can't think of better name (I don't think "skin wings" would work).

For comparsion here is how simmilar demon and bat wings are post #9332185 post #9332471 post #9324282 post #9330361

Not to mention being able to tag generic anime girl 32827894 who has wings that are inderteminable as to wether they are supposed to be a demon, a bat.. like we can tag feathered wings on things where we don't know if it's an angel or a bird girl etc. The current post count of bird_wings or angel_wings or feathered_wings is 103475 (note feathered_wings is very undertagged) and the current post count of bat_wings or demon_wings or dragon_wings is 115840. Meaning the tags would be roughly the same size as feathered wings.

For those concerned about same-yness, the split between demon and bat wings is a lot more equal than bird vs angel so it would actually be less samey than a correctly tagged angel wings.

The sheer would be size of this tag (even if it was about as untagged as feathered_Wings, feathered_Wings still has 70k posts) meant I thought it was probably a good idea to ask the forum before creating this.

Perhaps demon and bat wings and maybe even dragon wings should just be like... aliased together. It's not like we have a solid reference point for actual real life demon or dragon wings to use, so people just draw bat wings for their anime demon girls.

(I've never liked the dragon horns tag either while we're on the subject. None of these horns are particularly "dragon"esque other than "well the anime girls a dragon girl so her horns must be dragon horns!")

That'd potentially run into the same discussion regarding angel wings and bird wings in topic #18879.

I do remember thelieutenant angling for it and demon horns after he got oni horns deprecated in topic #25488 (and dragon horns has a weaker leg to stand on because of eastern dragon horns).

Nope. There was a simmilar discussion about implying bird and angel wings to feathered wings but it ran into the issue that there could be plucked bird wings or stuff like that. Not all the "subcatagories" will always be that thing, that's also why I used rough estimates isntead of just the post count for feathered wings (that and it being undertagged). You also have to conside how differen't things like these are post #5635638 post #9289671. That's also why I didn't just make a bur to make membranous wings an implication because you can have things like, skeletal dragon wings which have no membrane.

The difference typically is that dragon wings are more scaly while the fingers on demon wings are fairly featureless. The same goes for dragon horns, but they have the extra problem that we don't have tags for subtypes, so various different shapes get dumped into it too, for example eastern dragon horns like the ones in kobayashi-san_chi_no_maidragon dragon_horns.

@evazion Since this would be a HUGE tag how many people approval do we need before doing this and how would we determine it? I considered making a test BUR but was adviced against it by a user on the discord.
