How many characters should be required for Insane Amounts of Title?

There's no hard or fast rule on this, but having at least 5 lines on the "Groupings" thumbnail is probably a good benchmark. So as long or longer than Umareru Kachi no Nakatta Jibun ga Anna no Tame ni Dekiru Ikutsuka no Koto, basically.

The following might be candidates by that criterion:

...but I'd be wary of over-using this tag, or it loses its humor.

Mr.Zilla posted:
The amount of lines changes depending on what kind of device you're using. I think it makes more sense to do it based on the number of characters.

So far the shorted title with the tag is 73 chataracters including spaces.

Hmm...yeah, I agree. There are more of those at that length than I thought. Maybe I'll just remove it from Umareru Kachi and make the criteria longer.

Maybe it depends if it's based more on the visual feel or the verbal feel. Umareru Kachi feels long to say because it has 30 syllables (and even longer by mora). Of the others I listed, all but Lonely Female CEO are in the range of 20 syllables. But syllables are also a pain to count.

Guess all I'm saying is I wouldn't remove it from Umareru Kachi just yet.

(Edit: Dammit, I love the humor of this tag. Didn't plan/mean to take this all serious. I'm shutting up about it now.)

Spam.

Yes. If you wish to manually reset, reach out via email or on Discord. Dm at Orange Pekoe#0863, or you may highlight me in any channel within the Dynasty Discord Server.

Can I appeal a tag suggestion? Is this the wrong place? I'd really want others to have warning about a chapter or even full series. With the rejection, at minimum I really want that chapter 8 clearly tagged drugs and rape (and maybe revenge).

Like, what is the rape tag in a drama when most characters forgive it? Or constantly give justifications? The scene using drugs for revenge was triggering, similar to what I prevented from happening to a date-rape-drugged friend. Maybe my tag suggestion was too technical and looked rambling. Maybe what would be tagged drugs and rape in another story was too subtle an increase in problems for this one to get the tag...

I was kinda tolerating how severely problematic a character and story was before that point, when her actions were implied to be the same manipulating people using drugs (shown later if not implied earlier) and alcohol (including on the main cast) but always forgiven by all major on-screen characters and in the severe case treated as justified because it was an antagonist. There's a difference between a player doing pickups and a supposed player often getting people so inebriated they cannot process what's happening, so the conscious perp / 'player' can use them however then leave them to blame themself and piece things together afterwords. So it was uncritically a major story element, which I was too stupid to recognize until nearing the end. I figured the issue was constantly forgiven and untagged so it wouldn't get worse, but it got worse. And I guess people who enjoy the series have to just let this go.

If there's no appeal, I get it. Just checking. It seemed too severe to just let the suggestion die and I don't know if I should resubmit and for just the textually 100% a date-rape-drug chapter or the whole series.

On tag suggestions:

Certain tags, like Rape and Violence are meant to warn readers of story elements they do not wish to see. These ought to be tagged even if a story contains only small amounts of them, given that seeing them may be sufficiently unpleasant for many readers.

Yes, absolutely. No, this isn't the wrong place. Here or any of the usual places I try to be available are all fine. As just a thought, it's much better to have a discussion when necessary, rather than use the one-way tag suggestion function to repeatedly make the same suggestion(s).

We have had ongoing discussions about adding an extra tag for situations clearly appearing to the audience as rape or at least dubious consent that are not taken seriously by the narrative. There's a particular remark in the chapter that demonstrates how flippantly the characters understand the events - "If you were doing something this funny, you should've at least called me... <3."

(Upon reviewing chapter 8, it is surely Rape, and Blackmail. I'm not sure the Drugs or Drunk tags add much value, as these are discussed and implied, but never depicted. In my mind they do not add any necessary context beyond that already provided by the two now-present tags.)

There is a related conversation to be had with this particular series that you touched on. Throughout, there are suspect individuals engaging in suspect acts. To some extent, the messiness is the point. Certainly some nuance exists in how best to consider - and tag - stories about imperfect characters who are often quite horrible. In this instance, I'm not sure I find the distinction terribly relevant.

I'll review the rest of the series in the coming days and see if there are further adjustments that need to be made. It is possible the now-present tags for chapter 8 will change if the accompanying series tags change as well. No need to respond further, but it's fine if you wish to. Thanks.

Could there be a holobird tag? Right now it's really hard to find this image if you forget who the artist is (which was my case just now). A lingerie tag would be nice as well (do I have to give examples of that myself?).

As for the cow print/cow lingerie tag I suggested before, here's a few more examples including the ones I had already linked:

Edit: I just noticed the upload request page says "working on uploaded" instead of "working on uploading"
And the "Bibnou" typo was never fixed

Can pass those along.

The first is correct, but I can see how it's confusing so I'll think of something better. I don't really wanna change the Bibnou typo...

Why? Because it's funny? Or is there another reason? I'm not judging, if you wanna keep it on purpose. lol

lol. Please don't spam though. The random feature will be re-added to the site at some point in the future, but I'm not able to offer a timetable on that yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I submitted an upload request for an art of Elsa and Aurora but couldn't name the artist. Someone found a place that names the artist, apparently their name is Kyuarts.

Edit: since novel/manga covers are allowed apparently, would DVD/blu-ray covers be allowed as well?

What about this?

Edit 2: Same artist: https://dynasty-scans.com/authors/matsukura_nemu https://dynasty-scans.com/authors/matsukura
You can see both this post and this one on their twitter, and that account is linked on both of those two pages.
