trap tag should be subdivided

Posted under Tags

There are two types of femboys. One type can be identified as male in terms of appearance and figure (shoulder width) but is dressed in women's clothing. The other type cannot be identified as male in terms of appearance and figure but can only be identified as male through the genitals. trap tag includes both types and should be further classified. "otoko no ko" represents a male in Japanese anime who can only be identified as female through his genitals. And it seems that most of the paintings in the East are of this type. Moreover, it appears that many female boy paintings in the West can still be identified as male through their appearance. The two should be distinguished as they are very different

We already distinguish between these two types. Trap isn't supposed to be used for characters who are obviously male from the waist up. That's what girly boy is for. There may be mistags due to trap being aliased to otoko no ko. The alias was reversed in part because of users misunderstanding what the tag is for and using it on things that fit a looser definition than intended.

All of this is explained in more detail in the linked topic above.
