Having a character that is always a genderswap, and is the focus of a series, tagged as genderswap pollutes the tag and makes searching for actual genderswap of said character impossible.
This is absurd and simply not true. Apart from the fact of how miniscule number of such cases exist...
Try finding male ranma-chan using a two-tag search.
ranma-chan genderswap_(ftm) what have I won?
And btw, while we are at it - maybe you explain to me how do I find any new genderswap (defined by you) pictures with charas who unfortunately are or became canon?
We have to keep two subtags for genderswap just to have any hope of finding them
...and? Maybe because that's exactly what they exist for?
because retards keep tagging canonically instead of using the tag system properly.
Except taggin canonically is and always has been a correct usage. Since the times before you've even come to this site, my dear admin sir.
Even using ranma-chan genderswap_(ftm) only finds one picture.
How about populating the tag with the few other instances instead ruining the correct usage of the properly populated one?
Do you also tag a character who canonically wears a wig as wig in every single picture?
Do you nuke glasses on characters who wear them cannonicaly?
Read my lips: TAG WHAT YOU CAN SEE first.
And genderswaps are what you see, and you tag them as such - regardless if they are canon or not.
As for the age of the edits, just because some idiot has been mass adding the wrong tag to posts for years it doesn't make it right
I don't care about a mystical one "idiot", the genderswap tag has been populated correctly as such since the begining of this site by MANY DIFFERENT USERS. It's you who are now arbitrarly making up and enforcing new unclear and biased definition - because "not a predominant part of the series" is an utterly questionable merit.
