But aren't handcuffs a type of shackles if I read the Wikipedia entry of shackle? "The term also applies to handcuffs and other similarly conceived restraint devices that function in a similar manner." I don't know this since the english language has here a much wide usage of these words so I'm just interested.
Technically they are similar, but visually handcuffs and shackles are different. Handcuffs are rather narrow bands while shackles are thick and solid, more medieval looking.
To be honest, the exact definition of ankle_cuffs or wrist_cuffs in Danbooru isn't clear enough. For example, people might add the ankle_cuffs & wrist_cuffs tags when they see a pic of somebody with shackles in his/her hands and legs. Although wrist_cuffs is more easily distinguishable due to frequently used on pics with bunny_girl tag.
Well, the wiki could be more exact. I edited the wrist_cuffs wiki. What do you think? I guess ankle_cuffs needs something similar.

Yep, the wiki is clear enough for me now. Thanks for your help. ======================================== post #2295374 Any tag for her clothes? I'm sure it's not poncho

They're not actually elbow pads or knee pads. Of the existing tags the correct ones would be elbow_sleeve and knee_brace (although it would be a better called a knee_sleeve instead).

That is not just a sleeve on that knee; There is definitely a pad there. So I don't see the argument there.
The elbow perhaps; Though can't see the outside elbow part to tell, best to just not assume as always.
I didn't really think that is a pad, but other art does depict a pad there.
As for the elbow, that seems to be up to the artist's preference on if one exists (post #2015058) or not (post #2238343). Although most seem to favor there not being one.
All I know is most non-beach volleyball players do wear things called knee pads. Pads on the arms and elbows not so much. So your findings are probably fitting.
Interesting discussion :o. And yes, I didn't want to have shoulder_pads but elbow_pads. Took the wrong one here, indeed. ----- Do these socks have a special name since they are..folded? Don't know how to describe it correctly^^'. post #2297187
