What is the current status of muscular_female? While looking through the thread here, that one still seemed up in the air.
I still don't feel like I've been given a reason why it's a legit tag.
Because it's describing the content of the image?
To quote lozer on another issue, "Why are you making this more complicated than it is?"
There are a million other tags that never get fought over.
It makes me think that some people just have a thing against muscular females, and so they want to get rid of the tag... which is silly, because it also interferes with people being able to blacklist it efficiently.
Nobody ever brings up sweater_vest and claims it's redundant with sweater + vest, or wastes their time trying to purge it.
I expect somebody to try to do this now, so they can pretend they're being consistent, but nuking tags because you personally don't like them is actually tag poisoning.
A tag is redundant if it's exactly equivalent to another tag.
That's a bad thing because then people have to search for all of the equivalent tags in order to find all of the relevant pictures.
A more specific tag that has hundreds of applicable images is not redundant, and it's as simple as that.
