For the past few weeks, I've been making an effort to cross-post more, in order to make sure that communities that I'm interested in have some content and attention. I've been primarily focused on keeping up a steady stream of posts to !teen_loli, but a lot of those also fit in on !rapehentai and !incest_hentai, and occasionally !bdsm_hentai_and_art or !bluearchive. I tend to stick to just posting to the two most relevant communities for any given post, though.

I also created and have been posting to !dickgirl_hentai, but I tend to refrain from cross-posting those elsewhere. I get the feeling that maybe people don't want to see those posts, even if their fetishes are otherwise involved?

It feels like I'm creating/following a weird double-standard though. For rape/incest/etc content, I just tag the fetish in the title so that those that don't want to see it can avoid clicking. I don't think of trans women as a fetish though, so it feels weird to warn about them? Additionally, the original creator of !incest_hentai designated it as trans-inclusive (and I've done the same with !teen_loli), so it's extra-weird to avoid cross-posting there, which is what got me thinking about this in the first place. What do?

As an aside, the name of !dickgirl_hentai has also been bothering me. I originally went with that because it's what booru sites typically use to differentiate transgirl futanari from intersex. It feels kind of offensive though? Is there a better name that would still get the point across? Am I overthinking this?

The description that I have in the sidebar of !dickgirl_hentai is

Girls. With dicks!

So maybe just "girlswithdicks_hentai" for a new community name?

Doesn't really work as general terminology though, at least if we want something shorthand. I've been using "futa" in post titles. Playing around with a recent one:

  • Futa dominating two other girls (original title)
  • Girl with dick dominating two other girls
  • FPWP dominating two other girls
  • Girl dominating two other girls

These all feel varying degrees of awkward. I think I'd likely just try to come up with an entirely different title if I'm trying to avoid using "futa".

If you like that new community name, I find it reasonable!

I feel I should clarify: To describe art, if the character being described is a futa, I have no problem calling them that. My issue with the term is when it is used to:

  1. Describe real people,
  2. Describe canonically transgender characters (e.g. Bridget from Guilty Gear), or
  3. Describe all FPPWP as a catch-all (overlap with 2 here).

So I think the current post title is completely fine (assuming 2 does not apply; I do not recognize the character if so). Contrast this with terms like "trap," which I would prefer to never see in any context, for the reason I mentioned in my reply to PB's comment. Better terms for that do exist (femboy seems fine)!

Thanks again for making this post. It's something I've been thinking about for a while, but I didn't want to bring it up myself for fear of being "annoying," or similar.
