The tag alias #59599 fluffy_breasts -> furry_breasts is pending approval.

Reason: They're small tags that shouldn't be divided needlessly, they mean extremely similar things, and they seem to be used pretty much identically in practice.

It would be better to alias both to breast_tuft

That would work too. The one issue I'd have is that I'd prefer there to be parallelism with furry_penis (which I'm similarly requesting fluffy_penis alias to), but there is no penis_tuft tag.

tuft seems misleading for it. A tuft is more like a localized patch of fur that sticks out in some way. There are some breasts with tufts on them, and it's very different from being overall furry/fluffy. So I wouldn't go that way with this.

But fluffy_breasts -> furry_breasts seems like it could work. They do seem to be for the same thing and we probably don't need them both. +1

But then I'd do it vice versa, because furry breasts could mean, breasts on a furry... and yes, I believe there are people who would tag scalies with it.

I don't really care which one aliases to the other—the main reason I chose furry_breasts as the main tag is because it's more populated. But it's still a small tag, which leads me to believe that it wouldn't be overtagged.

But I care. The problem is, furry could mean multiple things. For this reason, the tag furry is invalidated. If we can prevent misstating, just by flipping the direction, I would highly prefer it. And it would fit to fluffy_ears and fluffy_tail.

Yeah, I see that. To be honest I like fluffy_breasts better too.

i said this on the discussion about balls and i'll say it again here; we don't need either of these tags. if you're looking for an anthro we can assume she has fur on her tits, and if you're looking for an anthro without fur on her tits then that would warrant a special tag. we don't need tags for things that are normal; we don't have tags for eyes or legs. i was going to add alive to the examples, but we apparently have 11 of those. hm.

The tag is not simply about anthros with fur on their breasts, but with large amounts of relatively long fur, often drawn as tufts. This is definitely not the default way anthro breasts are drawn—usually it's visually just as smooth as if it were just oddly-colored skin.

But your confusion does indicate that fluffy_breasts is probably the better tag.
