The current tag system is rather restricted and not very scalable. This is partly by design, but I agree there is room for improvements.
An idea I've been playing around with is to split the current tags into two separate groups. Just to distinguish them from what we have now, let's call them Categories and Traits. Categories would be broader themes (vanilla, monster girl, hentai, color) and be more restrictive (managed by staff, limited amount). Traits on the other hand can be more specific (blonde, glasses, blowjob, pool) and less restricted (user tagging, large amount). The idea is to make a large number of traits available, while also keeping it manageable by crowdsourcing the tagging process.
Please note that this is purely a concept at this point, and it might never come to fruition. It would require a complete overhaul of the current system, and likely would take a long time to implement. That said, we just added a
new feature that allows users to vote on tags, which could eventually lead to something like this. I should also clarify that this new feature is for adding
existing tags to a piece of content, and not for recommending brand new tags to be added.
This would actually be a good idea. Kemonomimi was moved into monster girls, but we still have catgirls tag which are actually primarily normal humans wearing cosplay ears, so it normally gets accompanied with the cosplay tag. Hell even the thumbnail of the tag is a cosplay and this saddens me.
I'd like to see the Monster Girl tag be the trait, with multiple categories. Including Catgirl, Foxgirl, Succubus, Vampire etc.
I'd also like a distinguishing tag to differentiate between animalgirls and humans dressing up as an animalgirl for a fetish. We have the cosplay tag but I don't feel it's clear enough.
