it would be really nice if the staff could do something about the #intersex tag being completely filled with fetish art. i know a lot of intersex users have complained about it and been dismissed, and i argue that it is an expression of bigotry, though maybe a clueless one. it's reinforcing the association of "intersex" with inaccurate, exaggerated, sexualized ideas of intersex bodies, and, though i am not personally intersex, i sure as hell would not want to discuss my actual experiences, identity, health, community, etc. in a tag that is functionally a porn category.

edit for clarity: this is specifically about "dual-sex" characters with a penis, vagina, and testicles being tagged intersex, as real people cannot be born with that combination of traits.

adding tag synonyms seems like a good time to try and do something about this

I also noticed #black is full of people tagging the color palette of their drawings.

I have removed the #intersex tag from my fetish art. I apologize for having contributed to the problem

It would be great if tag silencing/blocking/whatever they're calling it worked like on e621 where instead of just one tag you can silence combinations as well, so you could silence the #intersex tag but only when it's combined with a tag like #porn or #nsfw. I can already see several applications for other things that could also be used for.

This sort of thing seems difficult to mediate effectively. Sort of like how #cats has a lot of furry art so if you want to see just pictures of cats you have to #cats of cohost instead

The term altersex was used for a little bit, even if a scummy person coined it, I think it’s much more effective for fantasy genitalia arrangements than just saying something is intersex, I’m not intersex though so I can’t speak on this too much.
