Usefulness of the in_heat tag

in_heat
This tag doesn't seem very useful to me. It's meant to be used for pictures of animal girls showing arousal, but not only is it frequently used for girls with no animal features, the criteria for a character being aroused is so broad that it could apply to just about any image of a female acting sexy for the viewer.

I think the tag should require more strict criteria, to be used only for characters acting aroused in an animalistic way, a la Feral Instincts pool. Otherwise it warrants a nuke and/or deprecation.

Heat fetish is a very real thing (generally where a character, often an animal girl, ends up in such a strong state of arousal, often due to entering a mating season, they need to be fucked), which at a glance I assumed this was what the tag was for. Disappointing.

Personally, I think the tag should be reworked in order to properly cater to that fetish, as opposed to it's current mishmash. Because as it stands, I have no idea what this tag is supposed to be for, since "animal girl that is very aroused" is a stupidly broad term. (Also, why limit to girls? Boys can be subject to it too...)

The tag should be for strong states of arousal without any visible sexual activity (maybe even without any overt stimuli, such as a porno mag), and it should apply to any character regardless of if they have animal features. I didn't even know that wiki clause existed; I've always used it for any character that fits this description.

i think its meant to be pretty specifically about animal girls, since aroused exists for nonanimal girls and the male equivalent would be rutting

Tangentially related - you gonna get raped

I get the idea of the tag but I don't get what difference animal ears make. That rule makes no sense like if there was a tag for blowjob done only by redhead girls or something.
