flat_chest wiki edit

Posted under General

1. breasts and flat chest are two tags that cannot apply simultaneously to the same depiction of any character. We've debated over this issue far enough back when we codified the various breast size tags.

The only time there should be breasts and flat chest tagged in the same image is if there are two or more characters in the image, and they have varying bust sizes.

Recall that we aren't obligated to use dictionary-precise definitions for our tags. A flat chest may just be small breasts, but that does not matter; the tag refers to a size range (from absolutely flat to 1/3 of a head-size, specifically), not to the utter lack of mammaries.

2. trap + breasts = futanari without a vagina, unless it's obvious they're padded. If they're small enough that they would get the flat chest tag if the character were female, then just use the androgynous tag.

Additionally, if the character is so feminine in appearance that nothing masculine can be discerned about 'him', it should not be tagged as a trap unless the artist/pixiv tags/whatever specifically states otherwise.

I don't see either sideboob, flat_chest or face.
The curvy outline of her chest is visible, but "noticeable breasts"?

sideboob, flat chest, and breasts tags removed.

huge_breasts and large_breasts are size ranges as well, so if I want boobs that are less that that, I would have to search breasts -large_breasts -huge_breasts (and less overlook for not gigantic_breasts), so I don't see your argument for their size excluding them from being umbrella'd just for "easy" [sic]. It would be a pain in the ass, but either allow breasts-flat_chest coincidence, de-alias small_breasts and implicate it with breasts, introduce a regular/medium/normal_breasts tag, or something, but if it's a boob, it's a damn boob, and I'm sure there are those searching from small breasts that don't necessarily want to sift through washboards.

Counterpoint:
large breasts up through gigantic breasts make it empirically obvious that there are, in fact, breasts present. On the other hand, flat chest covers every female chest size from 1/3 of a head-size on downward, including zero breast tissue at all.

Also, the only difficulty in finding medium-sized breasts is in simply searching with the string breasts -large_breasts -huge_breasts -gigantic_breasts. Not so much of a pain, unless you're only Member-level, in which case it is an impetus to upgrade your account; this is by albert's design.

That's a counterpoint to tagging all flat chests as breasts, but as you note, flat_chest can apply to fairly noticable breast sizes, so I don't see why one shouldn't tag a post flat_chest + breasts in the case where the breasts are small, but prominent.
Not saying it should go on all discernible breasts as the wiki edit proposed, but mutual exclusivity doesn't sound right either with the current definitions.

I deleted the part from the wiki where it says it may be applied to males. It may not be.

What about traps? We have way too many pictures where the "tag what you see" rule is blatantly ignored because the character is canonically trap. Same with androgynous characters, IMHO they _should_ be tagged with flat_chest, even if you can work out that they're male, if it's not immediately obvious.

I don't care what they're understood as. If they look like girls, they're girls for the purpose of tagging. Especially since a good deal of drawn traps are only traps because the artist says so, and are not in any visible way male.

Edit: but even for those for whom you can discern the underlying gender, the very idea of trap is that it's not obvious and they will pass as the other gender unless examined closely. Which means the visual tagging should still apply as it does to girls.

Trap is just a bad tag in general, but yes it should probably get an exemption clause in the wiki. As you note, most trap images look as female as any real female, so if you didn't know it was a trap you'd obviously tag flat_chest if visually appropriate. Same as we'd add breasts to a number of pics of, say, Tatsukichi from MM!. It's a gray area, but I'll edit the wiki to allow it.

Would it be out there, then, to request a tag for male "breasts"? (Unfortunately, that'd probably also eclipse fat-man man-boobs, but if it would have to be so...)

Turns out we actually do have manboobs. The usage is currently pretty... exclusive.
