twitter strip game

Posted under General

twitter strip game has become a very mixed bag of all kinds of content. while most of it is, indeed, the strip game, there have been countless different types of challenges, both intended as fanservice and not, included under that tag, including:

earlier, i created twitter strip game parody, yet after further consideration i am not sure if that is indeed the right path. seeing a character get continuously dressed up more or having stripes put onto them (pool #22932) is quite different from seeing a character have their head cut off for likes, after all

...for example i briefly thought about a "cut-here strip game" tag, but twitter_strip_game cut-here_line covers 99% of these assuming the images are tagged properly.

The issue is that despite clearly being a part of the same sub-trend, they don't all feature cut-here lines, nor are they all strip games. Despite this, if a tag is to be created for it, I'd go with twitter_cutting_game as it would accurately describe a majority of the posts while following the same naming convention as its inspiration, twitter_strip_game.

I previously said (not here on the forums though) that I felt that Twitter strip game was more than enough since these are all basically variations but still the same thing at heart, but then I soon realised that there are so many different variations that get popular that it might actually be worth having a separate tag so people can find specific versions of it. For example, I may be far more interested in this new shirt cutting version and want to see a full set from start to end, rather than just the generic "it's a new post, but less clothes, but it's related basically only by the commentary/retweet chain".

Likewise, though, I would love if we could settle on tagging specific versions of these games at a high-level with one tag.

in an effort to maybe get things moving towards this, i've create two favgroups:

  • favgroup #40808 - proposal for reverse strip game, where characters put on more clothing rather than taking it off. notably this does not include outfit swaps.
  • favgroup #40812 - proposal for what i'm going to call unconventional interaction game or favor interaction game (could probably use a better name though), in which engagement is traded for characters performing actions or having actions performed on them; basically anything that does not directly promise the removal / swapping / putting on of clothing. will change the scope of this one on request, though i'm hoping you can tell what i'm going for here.

i want to make sure we're all on the same page about how exactly to perform the mass updates and such, so i'm not going to create a bur right away.

my initial proposition is that these two tags as well as twitter strip game itself be implicated to the interaction game tag, and reverse strip game posts could probably have their twitter strip game tags taken away, since they would now be covered by interaction_game.
