Character tag list - feedback requested

[cassiesheepgirl]

I second the sportsman and superhuman tags. But I think that superhuman should only be used for those with exceptional powers that do not fall under another category - so for example you wouldn't mark up say, Yubaba from Spirited Away as superhuman because she would already have the witch tag. Likewise any character with the witch/wizard/ninja/shinigami type tags wouldn't get the superhuman tag since their existing ones are already indicative of their powers. A large chunk of the One Piece cast could easily use these tags, because although loads of them have Devil Fruit Powers, they aren't mages, ninjas or Death Gods, plus the likes of Orihime and Chad from Bleach would get this - not shinigami but they certainly have superhuman powers.

I like the idea of having a tag for parent as well as single parent, but only one should be used per character - marking up one as both is a bit ridiculous. I also like the idea of having a priest/monk tag, maybe religious figure or something so that it could incorporate priess, monks and nuns...

I don't honestly think we need a magic tag, since we have witch (and I agree that we should add wizard) and I think that's enough for the magic side of things.

What about a 'Lazy' tag? For those chars who seem to be always sleeping a lot or just laying around... reading Jump or whatnot.

Also a 'Priest' or some kind of 'Holy man' tag sounds good to me.

Ooo for got to add, I'd quite like and Exorcist tag.

I second the lazy one. :)

I agree, but, as well, isn't the tag trap a major spoiler for a character? I mean a trap is a trap because it is not clear at the beginning that it is, or am I wrong?

Perfect example of "catgirl" the only problem is that ... he is a boy XD
You can see how the catgirl tag starts to fail and we need another tag for boys or a more "generic" tag for all.
Another limitation of the tag "catgirls" is that like nekomimi they should represents only cat like character. Why is this a problem?
Example:
Horo from Spice and Wolf. It's pretty clear that she is a wolf, she even turns into one of them. Is she a "catgirl"?
Another example of problematic character is Inuyasha. Inu=dog. Is he a "dogboy"?
What about "bunny girls"?
Spoiler for image:

So the question is: are these other characters getting the tag "catgirl", another tag or nothing at all?

Kemonomimi would be the term that could work for all, but it does 1/3 of the results of catgirl on google. I don't know, I leave the rest up to you, not that I care much about tags to be honest XD

Yandere, as well as Traps, are often (sometimes minor) spoilers yes, but not always.

For example, the yandere in Future Diary is openly psychotic almost from the get-go, and Hideyoshi from Baka to Test is definitely a trap, but it is known right from the start.

I'd say that the trap tag can be used more often than yandere though (partly because there simply aren't a whole lot of yandere out there).

Are we going to consider "Shrine Maiden" a subset of priest, or is it its own tag? Fetishists would argue that it deserves a tag.

I'd group it with priests/whatever-generic-religious-person-tag there is. Are there really that many shrine maidens?


Also!: Broaden the Catgirl tag.

thoughts on a 'boy-crazy' tag?

[SeiyaManG]

Well I'm assuming for guys who are "girl-crazy" the tag would probably be "pervert"...but what about that "girl-crazy" lesbian that always seems to show up?

Also, I thought about some shows, and "boy-crazy" would work. But would this tag also go on Tsunderes'? Because with them "boy-craziness" might already be implied...
