Plant Girl implications

Posted under Tags

BUR #3370 has been rejected.

remove implication plant_girl -> monster_girl
create implication dryad -> plant_girl

I'm request the removal of the implication 'Plant_Girl -> Monster_Girl' because I've seen a great number of posts where a girl is clearly a plant girl, but does not have monstruous characteristics to be considered a Monster Girl (examples: post #4076497, post #3951273, post #3716035). However, Plant Girls have two subtypes, Alraunes that are always monster girls, and Dryads that may or not be in fact monster girls, but they are always Plant Girls.

For comparison, it is very similar to Spider Girls/Arachnes, where Spider Girl is a general tag for girls with spider attributes (but not always monster girl), while Arachne is a subtype of Spider Girl that is always a Monster Girl, so I'm proposing the same treatment to Plant Girls: Plant Girl as an umbrella tag for Alraune and Dryad, and Alraune implicating Monster Girl.

If approved, I'll request a second BUR, the implication of Alraune -> Monster Girl. Any feedback is very welcome.

On the proposed implication of dryad -> plant_girl. The name dryad is somewhat broad in depiction, given that its origin is simply an oak tree spirit that takes human form. This means that depictions of a dryad don't necessarily have to make them a plant girl (post #3574262). Given this, should the definition dryad require that they have to meet the definition of plant girl? If the answer is no, then we should not implicate dryad to plant girl.

My point for this implication is that Dryads are frequently treated (and tagged here on Danbooru) as Plant Girls, as they are always depicted as female tree nymphs/spirits. However, just like Plant Girl, they aren't always Monster Girls, for example: Dryad that is monster girl (post #2732274, post #4017897), and Dryad that isn't monster girl (post #3574261, post #1205835). But for that to work properly, the implication Plant Girl -> Monster Girl would need to be removed.

At a place I frequently post art of monster girls, elf ears are enough to consider them inhuman - thus, monster girls. To me, as how I'm used to monster girls, those "dryads that aren't monster girls" are as good as any monster girls. That said, it sorta challenges other tag definitions danbooru has - such as kemonomimi not counting as monster girls, which I genuinely disagree to. But hey, I'm the new user. This is just my two cents. Having plant girl not imply monster girl would just make browsing for MGs much more annoying.

I see your point but there is an important reason why kemonomimi, dragon girls and demon girls doesn't imply monster girl: they are much more mainstream than the entire monster girl genre and would completely overwhelm the tag. For the Plant Girl case, I wanted to keep consistency with the similar Insect Girl/Spider Girl case. It was myself who suggested Plant Girl implicating Monster Girl in topic #16094, a year ago, but right now I'm seeing it this way. Well, if this BUR ends getting rejected I'm okay with it, I'm not saying this Plant Girl case is really big problem anyway.
