Topic: Can a character between Gynomorph and Male be tagged Ambiguous Gender?

Posted under General

So I think it's safe to say that this character, especially when compared to their other art, has a very feminine face/head shape. And a chest that goes slightly beyond moobs. My first instinct when I saw it was to call it gynomorph, but I saw it was uploaded as male. So I don't want to step on the uploader's toes if this is their character, and now I'm torn on which of the 3 gender options to tag it as.

no, ambiguous_gender should never be used on characters with visible/evident genitals.

if a character's on the border, I tend to just lean towards the "gender conformant" ones (male/female). so, this character is male.

That chest is nothing like moobs, which are a result of fat on males causing breast-like protrusions, not merely breasts/boobs on a male (not sure if you were being hyperbolic, but I have seen people tag moobs for pecs without a hint of fat, as well as typical female breasts on a more masculine gynomorph, so just wanted to clarify that).

As for ambiguous_gender, that applies when sexual characteristics are absent, or too subtle to be indicative of anything, not when they're clearly present but you're unsure what the character all-together is. In a case like that picture, you'd just tag according to your best guess if they're meant to be breasts (gynomorph) or large pecs (male). And if there's a back-and-forth between users that disagree (there have been tag wars over a muscular character's large chest being breasts or pecs in the past), report the post to have a moderator make a decision.

For me it's the face that really throws a wrench in it
They're so androgynous, particularly compared to their other pieces.
By slightly beyond moobs, I did mean in size or how far out they go. Like they're definitely not a fat chest on a guy, but because it's furry art, artists love going hyperbolic with anything, including pecs.
I won't touch this particular piece, I think the OP did a fine job tagging it, but this definitely cleared up my question, so thanks

Its literally a guy with big pecs and a chiseled jawline lmao, didn't know that having pretty eyes makes you ambiguous now
