Tag Discussion: tan

I've noticed that the tan tag, minus tanline, is nearly identical to the dark_skin tag. Is there a reason for keeping the tag or certain conditions that make tan tag better to use instead of dark_skin, or is this a redundant tag?

Most tan posts don't look dark enough for dark_skin to me.

Yeah, agreed with LaC. A lot of them are used on tanline images anyway. Dark skin is more specific.

Why not just go with the tanline tag if tan gets posted as well? Is there a fine line I'm missing that separates the tan posts from the dark skin posts?

I think tan would probably be most useful on images of characters who generally don't have dark skin, but do in a particular image.

Right, you wouldn't really tag kuramitsu_mihoshi with tan, for example. She just has dark skin. So I think the tags are different.

I see now. All right, thanks for the input.
