What tag would I be looking for to imply an ugly character having sex with a more conventionally attractive character? Ugly Bastard is severely under used on this site but I know there are many examples of it.
Should we come up with a new one like ugly/pretty or should I just tag every image that applies ugly bastard or?

This seems like, barring extremes, an extremely subjective tag to use, similar to the "cute" tag.

This is an actual fetish that pops up in hentai a lot. It may be subjective but it's a useful tag to have if it's used right.

Have you ever seen a subjective tag on here not immediately turn into a nightmare of misuse or simple lack of use?

That's not a good enough reason to not create the tag. But yes there are subjective tags that do fine like anal_orgasm. As happens often with new tags, a tagging project is usually needed to bring the tag into common usage. There are also subjective tags that mods have bastardized, like 'girly'. I think it's perfectly acceptable to rely on community help in order to have a better functioning tag system and just because a tag relies on the userbase, doesn't make it a bad idea.

How's that subjective? If a character has an orgasm while being anally penetrated/stimulated, but no direct stimulation to the penis. You can see if a character is being penetrated in the ass, and if they're cumming, and if nothing is stimulating their penis. Compared to "ugly" which is a personal opinion; what one person sees as ugly, another can see as normal, and another can see as cute. Ugly and cute have been aliased to invalid_tag because they're subjective opinions, so who's to say what qualifies for ugly_bastard?

I'm all for the ugly bastard tag as long as it follows the same tropes as it does in the doujins.

I dunno what else that would fall under.

To me the tag currently in use or the one proposed would be for images where the obvious artist intent was for an extreme difference in the subjective attractiveness of the two participants.
Usually this used as a form of humiliation, the more attractive participant is being humiliated by having (usually forced) sex with a less attractive one.

These are excellent examples but an ugly/pretty tag could also be applied to images with the genders reversed or anything with dialogue that implies ugliness.

Also I guess "Anal Orgasm" is subjective because in an image using the "tag what you see" principle, you need a character to be actually saying they're having one to conclusively be sure of it. Someone cumming without their genitals being touched but with anal stimulation in the context of a single image and calling it anal orgasm is still technically subjective because what's happening is going on in their body and you can't actually see it etc etc

Sorry but this is ridiculous. TWYS has it's problems but not such a thing.
I hope this is just a joke and I jump the gun right now.

I may be wrong, but I think it was meant as sarcasm.
