I think every furry can agree that cute
things are cute. And therefore this tag is useful and precious and won’t be going anywhere. But also, as anyone who was kind enough to click the lovely purple text can see, there are a lot of ways in which something or someone can be cute.
So, we’re going to have even more cute tags! Oh, sure, there’ll be all the boring and well-defined tags like puppy dog eyes
and cuddling
and tail bite
and sploot
… but cute’s subjective, and we’re going to need some subjective tags to describe them all.
But just because the tags are subjective doesn’t mean we want to go all willy-nilly in naming them! Just look at this: We’ve got a tag for characters with cute designs, we’ll need a tag for cute behavior, and we’ll surely need a tag for things that are just too goshdarned cute period. Maybe those artists are just trying to murder us…
…and no one can make up their minds on the formula for wording these tags!
See, the one thing we don’t want is for this to get entirely out of control. Every character doesn’t need a “-betes” tag, we just need one tag for cute characters. So, if we decided we were going to use the word “adorable,” it’d be “adorable character,” “adorable behavior,” “unreasonably adorable,” “this will end in adorableness,” and so on. If instead things were gonna give you diabetes, you’d have “diabetes-inducing character,” “diabetes-inducing behavior,” “op is trying to give you diabetes,” etc. Or we could be boring and say it’s a cute character with cute behavior because things are just weapons-grade cute.
What do you think? If it were up to you, what names would you come up with for these tags? There are no wrong answers, just answers we’re not gonna pick, so get creative! Quickly, though, because we’re going to Make a Decision™️ before this gets too out of hand.
