Is there a way to bulk tag a character?
Posted on: 03/25/24 02:23AM

Is there a way to pair a character's tag with another tag for bulk tagging or do they have to be added one by one?
I ask since there's probably a lot of pictures that are lost with old tags or tags that need updated due to new information about the character being released.
Like for example, ever since the most recent Guilty Gear game, Bridget's gender identity was updated for be Female or at least male to female transitioning, and I feel like getting an update on her tags would be pretty beneficial along with any other characters who have met with similar tagging issues.
It always feels weird when she's tagged as male in pictures where it's clear there was care and detail put into making her feminine traits appear or blatantly referencing her female identity.

First off, gender tags are by "what you see". If you see penis and testicles, it's a man. If you see breasts and a vagina, it's a female. If you see what's obviously a female character but with a dick and balls, it's a futanari.

Now I understand the current day western movement is to not misgender anyone at all costs, which I can somewhat respect, but traditionally speaking, a person's gender is always determined by their biological sex. As fiction is mostly cut and dry (except for cases like Bridget, who was known as a boy for 20+ years until 2 years ago), it's either male or female. In rarer cases, hermaphrodite, futanari, or unknown/other are added to the mix.

Bridget is (and should be) only tagged female if she's been sex swapped into a full-fledged female (tits, vagina, no male body parts, etc.). Bridget is still biologically male as far as we know, so all bridget tags that aren't sex-swapped (boobs, vagina) should be tagged male.

Second, no, only site staff can bulk tag characters. Because if trolls would abuse the feature if they were allowed to.

Hope that helps.

Having feminine traits does not automatically make the character a woman. Most artists are drawing Bridget to be a "femboy" still. It would be disingenuous to tag their works as "male to female" or worse just "female".

Like SadSap said, tags are based on looks alone and are for an image by image basis. Any artist could draw any character as a male or female.

I never said she was a girl, I said "feminine" like, femboys.
Edit: Now I'm a idiot for not realizing.

In this case, would it be better to introduce new tags? I've seen some other sites use thing like "Lore Tags" to better illustrate some of these labels that have developed. I feel like it'd be really nice to give it a shot. Being able to look up characters via identity would be a pretty neat way to explore especially if youre someone who identifies with those same traits and want to see something similar or are attracted to it.

lore tags are kind of annoying and only useful in some fanart, even in the sites those have them i rarely see someone adding them unless it's about stuff like incest

lore tags seems to be an addition made to make people shut up about some characters, such as bridget.

Honestly, that'd be up to the site staff, but they rarely ever implement new features, especially ones that are requested.

As for having a sort of catalogue for characters who are transgender, different gender identities, etc. I think that's a huge niche that doesn't mesh well with what's already established userbase and the normal demographics (most people here just like straight or hot lesbians), so yeah. There are probably other sites for that though.

The wiki, although not used often, would have little lore tags within them so that'd be the best bet. Bridget is already listed as transgender there.

wouldn't the more obvious and beneficial use be to add tags for stuff like skin/hair/eye color? like, say a character is consistently portrayed with long white hair, sheeplike demon horns, red eyes and tan skin. you could add tan, sheep_horns, red_eyes to every post including that particular character. the few cases where that isn't the case, such as when she's wearing her black armor, you could just manually remove those added tags or wait for someone else to do it.

There is no way for a user to edit tags en masse.

The particular case of Bridget from Guilty Gear has also been addressed and it was decided that no changes to his applicable tags, or to tagging policy in general, would be made to account for Guilty Gear's English localization team deciding that he now actually believes he's a female. For all intents and purposes he's 1boy, a trap when dressed in his usual outfit, and a shota when he looks young.
