I went ahead and rejected the bur as this seems like something to be done manually then.
But they look nothing like fox ears. They're more like rabbit ears. This is a case of wrong canon tagging.
Admittedly I thought that one was just some really long fennec ears like post #7492073.
Wrong canon tagging? Does that mean someone getting the canon wrong (in this case this one of the fox girl characters was not a fox girl or something) and tagging based on that or someone tagging based on correct canon but were supposed to ignore that? Eg if something is a canon fox girl but the artist draws the ears so badly they look like rabbit they should be tagged rabbit instead of fox?

Yeah I was wrong for that one, I didn't see the ears with the crown in front of them and the blue tails against the blue sky looked like hair at first glance.
I figured that much. It was more that you sent me a bunch of angry discord messages about "not checking things" then send me atleast three (if I'm not missing more) that was the direct result of you not checking not checking things with one you in your own words mistook "at first glance". post #1800150 post #397959 post #396267.

Well I'm home from work and some people have already beat me to the punch that there are images in the pool that shouldn't get fox_girl, besides the ones mentioned above there is also stuff like post #8713553 which are tagged fox ears but visually look nothing like a fox, post #8327779 has fake_animal_ears, not sure if that's a real tail though? Another similar case is post #5890972 where the girl is making a fox gesture and has the ears and tail drawn, but isn't actually a fox_girl. There are still some girls with foxes (the animal) in the pool like post #5158382.
There are also a non insubstantial amount of girls who look like dogs (post #522471) and wolves (post #556921) but that's a greater issue than the topic of this thread.
Not sure what method you used to add posts but if you can't tell from the thumbnail you should open the post to double check, increasing the thumbnail sizes might also help. Besides that I didn't go through every pages, just jumped around and skimmed a bit, you might want to give them all another look over.
Again, the bur is rejected. I want to help out with the manual tagging of these posts but I am afraid of "false positives" so to speak. With stuff like, orange black tipped ears, it's obviously a fox, but I feel as if I am "out of the loop" in regards to a lot of technicolor characters. I got multiple "Obviously that's not a fox despite being tagged fox ears and tail" style replies in the discord and (except the one with a cat tail) I couldn't really see what screamed cat/dog/Whatever about them and two of those were the above ones NNT linked that turned out to be wrong, making it more confusing.
Like this one pikuuwu linked post #9135500. Pink fur so no way to tell based on that, wiki says nothing about species and tagged as fox girl but apparrently it was clearly not a fox girl to others?
I can't find it but there's some tumblr post about someone watching some anime or another and admitting they got the species wrong of some eared character because they "weren't deep enough into anime furry lore to isntantly tell the difference" based on the ears and that's how I feel right now.
Should I just stick to tagging like, kyubi, or is it more forgivable if I get some wrong when manual tagging than in a bur?
