I'm trying to find a way to tag the pose as seen in post #1604512, post #1542319 and post #1547849: Bent arms to the side and wrists folded outward. Is there a tag for it that I'm missing? If not, what should it be called? (My first thought was "girly pose.")
I've tagged it with forearms_at_chest. The tag name's a bit dry and could be improved, but right now I'm more focused in getting the visual categorized somehow.
Forearms_at_chest is going to need a wiki since nobody's going to be able to tell what it's for from the name alone.
would forearms_at_chest include post #1603178 ? how about when the wrists are not folded outward like post #1606317 , post #1608661 , post #1609169 ? and how about a single arm version for post #1608953 and post #1608701 ?
Apparently post #1608701 is called 女の子走り (girly running pose).
bumping this as i came across post #2043143 recently. think that girly_pose is broad enough to cover if the wrists are bent outward or inward and if the forearms are near the chest or far from it unless we want something very specific tags for each scenario. the only common thing is it has to be two (clenched?) hands.
however, i'll use girly_running_pose, as suggested, only for post #1608953 and post #1608701 for the moment. but the running version can be one or two-handed, right?
Calling it a "pose" suggests the character is standing still, I think removing "pose" from the name would be better for the tag name (that is call it girly_running instead).
This is in reference to the flood of images under that tag like post #1727425, and even active images like post #1814379 where it is clear the characters are moving and not standing still.
Also an image like post #1608953 doesn't really seem to suggest the character is moving at all, so calling it "girly_running" or even "girly_running_pose" is wrong in my opinion.

i'm perfectly fine splitting the temporary girly_running_pose to those seemingly or genuinely running (as running_girly) and those seemingly striking a pose (as girly_pose atm for the sake of discussion).
however, girly_pose still remains ambiguous. without a clear definition a conflict or overlap with forearms_at_chest is imminent. this still depends if we want something specific or broad for the given examples.
post #1608953 - forearm_at_chest?
post #1475491, post #451587, post #1682181 - don't want to pollute forearms_at_chest with likes of these
but personally, the four posts all seemed girly_pose. suggestions?
if girly_pose is going to be that, who's got an idea for how to tag what Joseph is doing with his arms and hands in post #1739278?
^ imho, that's still can be considered a girly_pose, nothing's been defined yet. however, that means girly_pose will be an umbrella tag for arms/hands positions that appears to be anything girly.
to be more specific, in addition to girly_pose, post #1739278 needs to be tagged with arms_at_sides and wrists_extended (new tag). the later refers to wrist movement (flexion and extension). if we don't want a new tag, we can define open_hands, however this is ambiguous and overlaps with outstretched_hands.
and can be move forearms_at_chest just to w_arms. think that's intuitive enough? thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea to me. It's good for tag definitions to be intuitive, as a general rule, and the most intuitive possible definition for this one is as a catchall.
