Asking to clarify a bit of tagging confusion that seems to have arisen on a few posts: should posts that contain some combination of Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina having sex be tagged as incest?
I've seen this tag added and removed from a few different posts, and it seems worth clarifying. Personally, I don't think so, unless the post itself directly implies they're supposed to be related - in some posts, this is definitely the case, such as post #1880308 (and other posts in its pool), where the four Pokemon are expressly described and depicted as a family, but in others, the tag is being added just because of the presence of these characters, such as (currently) post #4074400. Canonically, Arceus did create the other three, and in HGSS's Sinjoh Ruins event, it's possible to have an Arceus in your party create an egg for one of the three from an Egg, but given the nature of all four as godly figures with minimal characterization (besides Arceus, as of Legends Arceus) and Pokemon as a whole, it feels... *dubious* to unilaterally label any appearance of the four Pokemon as related.

Unless the artist intends for them to be related, don't tag it as familial relations. That's how lore tags work

Since they're treated more as species rather than characters, they're not automatically considered related. It depends if the artist of a given post intended for a given depiction of them to be related or not.
Artist intent > Source lore

Yeah, I was pretty sure that was how it worked. Thanks.
