mpreg is not a redundant tag and here's why
Posted on: 10/19/17 05:49PM

I can't believe I created an account for this but here goes. Inb4 someone who already knows me finds me here. If you did, congratulations, you just witnessed what is basically me coming out to having a repulsive fetish.

mpreg: "A redundant tag. Use pregnant and male instead."

1) Specifics. "pregnant" + "male" could refer to a male character fucking a pregnant female character, or just a male character and a pregnant female character in the same picture. And indeed, by typing "pregnant male" into the search bar:
• There are 4 results total
• All of them are 1boy 1girl
• 3 of them are vaginal
• the other is a male character putting his head up against a female character's stomach (more specifically, ikari_shinji katsuragi_misato)
• and, yes, none of them are mpreg.

No one even seems to use the "male" tag, since:
• male: 14816
• male_focus: 190203 > 14816
• 1boy: 484862 > 14816
• multiple_boys: 207294 > 14816
• yaoi: 53228 > 14816
• shota: 49649 > 14816
but that's not really the point. It does, however, lead to a possible conclusion that people don't know which tags to use, which further complicates things, as there's no way to search for ("tag_a OR tag_b OR tag_c"). The cheatsheet under "Help" lists a function that allows that ("~tag_a ~tag_b"), and then says it doesn't work, and, indeed, it doesn't.

2) Finding mpreg pictures. Since "pregnant male" doesn't do anything, and combining "pregnant" with another male-specific tag, like "pregnant 1boy" or something isn't specific enough for the same reasons as above.
Instead, you have two choices:
A) Compromise. Search for something more specific than should be necessary, like "pregnant trap" or "pregnant yaoi" or "pregnant shota". It'll get slightly more consistent results than the other option, but a small portion of them. Or just search "mpreg" hoping that you can salvage something good out of the few posts that haven't gotten beaned yet.
B) Grueling process of elimination. Something like:
"pregnant -female -futanari -loli -1girl -2girls -3girls -4girls -5girls -6+girls -vaginal -cum_in_pussy -paizuri ..."
and eliminate any tags hinting towards female characters. Even that's kind of a compromise, as there are a few pictures that have mpreg AND female characters in them. (No, really, I've seen a few. Example: post #1943521)
And that won't guarantee you consistent results, either--chances are quite a few of them will have a female character anyway, with no tags hinting towards it whatsoever. Even if you further compromise and add a tag like "penis", chances are you're STILL not gonna get consistent results.

3) Blacklisting mpreg pictures. Blacklisting mpreg pictures would be even harder than attempting to find them--if you put "pregnant male" into the blacklist it blacklists "pregnant" AND "male"--there's no way to combine them!! You would ABSOLUTELY need a singular tag to be able to block such pictures. Yes, they rarely pop up if you're not directly searching for them (and even then, they rarely pop up), but when they do, given how such a fetish is a rather *ahem* acquired taste, some people just aren't going to like it, and definitely will not want to see something like it.

I'm sure this is not the only example of a tag being called "redundant" when it's just specific. It is, however, the first example that I've seen, and I feel it should be addressed.

Tag discussions should go into forum #1706.

The mpreg wiki is way out of date. The male tag is now male_focus.

I think "pregnant male_focus" is giving you mostly what you're looking for.

If 61 posts looks too few I think it's because there were never many pregnant male images posted here. That's pretty much all of them.
