(I think Teacher x Student
can continue as a separate tag though)
If we get Teacher
, it'd probably be better to ditch Teacher x Student
. Combined with School girl
, School life
or College
, Teacher
alone should get the job done more often than not.
But what if the story involves only Teacher x Teacher
and Student x Student
yuri, but absolutely zero Teacher x Student
yuri?
I agree with this. Logically, Teacher
doesn't equate Teacher x Student
. Even Teacher
tag and a Student
or School girl
tag being present in the same story shouldn't imply there is any teacher x student content - especially since people are used to it being designated by Teacher x Student
.
To me, the crux of the issue is that Teacher x Student
informs of a central relationship in the story, whereas Teacher
should inform of only of a non-minor character who's a teacher.
If the problem is too many tags in the system, adding Teacher
won't help. Removing the more useful Teacher x Student
to make room is counterproductive.
If the problem is too many tags per story, you could make it a policy to limit the use of Teacher
to situations where Teacher x Student
is not applicable.
Student x Student
= School life
, College
. And sure, it's possible that my suggestion wouldn't work for 100% of the stories (I even specifically mentioned that it should work more often than not) , but it should work for most of them. Just having School life
should work for most of the cases in which there's a non-minor teacher character who isn't involved romantically with anyone in the story (as opposed to how I imagine the tag used: a teacher who's part of a couple in the story, whoever their pair may be).
