…you know that was sarcasm, right? you’re really not supposed to go and mass tag change without discussion on the forums first.
Mass tag changes need to be discussed in the site and policy forum before they begin.
well if you want longma to be used for any image of a winged dragon pony, then you’ve got a looooot of images to add the tag to.
I don’t have to. She can keep the dracony tag but she keeps the longma tag as well because that’s what she is and literally that’s what Google says. Just because the longma tag is full of Tianhuo doesn’t mean longmas have to look like her. I mean look at these images.

your current filter.They’re clearly different from Tianhuo but are tagged as longmas, which they are. If my OC can’t keep her longma tag, why should they?
And there’s also the case of the trope Our Monsters Are Different
A mythological creature can be interpreted in different ways. This is how I want my longma OC to appear. Those other images above? That’s how those artists interpret what longmas look like. Simple as that. I don’t see why you’re making an issue with this particular image when the tags are properly fine.
like I said, you can go to the forums if you want to discuss it
I don’t see how her appearance disqualifies her from having a longma tag when clearly a longma is a winged dragon pony.
that’s cause it is something the fandom coined.
if you want to go to the forums and discuss those tag distinctions, then feel free to do so, but that’s not how those tags are currently in use here. Look at the longma tag, your oc kinda stands out from the rest, whereas she looks the same as most of the creatures under the dracony tag.
Also I’m pretty sure this is how it goes:
dracony - earth-bound dragon ponies
kirin/qilin - unicorn dragons
longma - winged dragon ponies
Not to mention that dracony isn’t an actual mythological creature species. It sounds like something the fandom coined.
By translation, longmas are practically dragon horses. Typically winged. I see no problems with calling her a longma and as far as I’m concerned, Them’s Fightin’ Herds have nothing to do with MLP nor is it the ultimate decider of what longmas are.
okay
you still shouldn’t tag her as something she isn’t
Well guess what. It’s my OC.
you’ve tagged the image with “longma”
while longma’s are in fact a creature from Chinese mythology, they only became a thing within the fandom earlier this year thanks to them’s fighting herds
so if it was drawn in 2013, I find it extremely unlikely that the artist intended this to be a longma as opposed to a dracony
what are you talking about?
so then it’s not a longma
