Tags for multiple male/female (and trans/futanari?)

[Splime]

I’m creating a new topic because after reading this (Site News: June 6th 2026 - #10 by VladTheImplier):

@VladTheImplier

I think that would be outside the scope of the tag group.
The tags are to indicate what kind of content to expect from a sexual orientation perspective.

I took a step back to write some examples and it made me realize that for most people this suggestion is more about media structure than sexual orientation, so it wouldn’t be a good fit for the original topic where I brought this on (and a proper topic may be better for discussion).

Disclaimer: this proposal is from the point of view of someone who mainly browses animation content, where those tags would be abundant.

Context:

I proposed the addition of new #multiple-male and #multiple-female tags here:

@Splime

@VladTheImplier

solo-male, solo-female

Any chance of using this opportunity to add more specific group tags (e.g.: #multiple-male or #multiple-female, or something else that represents those scenarios)?

Previously it was discussed that gangbang for multi-male, reverse-gangbang for multi-female and orgy for multi-female+multi-male could be used, but those tags may be “too strong” for some of the content and not fit well for general usage (most threesome scenes aren’t a gangbang-type scene, for example). Maybe it’s not the case with real content since I don’t follow it, but I feel like there’s an abundancy of scenes with 3+ people in animation that isn’t captured by the tags, and as such is relatively hard to either search for or filter.

With a bit more context here:

@Splime

I thought about that before, but that doesn’t end up encoding the same information. For example, a threesome can be FFF, MFF, MMF or MMM. A foursome can be FFFF, MFFF, MMFF, MMMF, MM MM… Maybe it could be even more complicated if you add futa/trans into the mix.

Some sites, like nhentai, actually have a tag for each type of threesome and foursome, but that would be a lot of tags and could be hard to manage if there are different amounts of males/females in the different scenes of a video. A different set of tags to say there are multiple M or F could encode that information without being too specific.

Adding @VladTheImplier’s response for context:

@VladTheImplier

I think that would be outside the scope of the tag group.
The tags are to indicate what kind of content to expect from a sexual orientation perspective.
multiple-male would be gay and multiple-female would be lesbian.

I do think MMF and MFF are tags that could be used instead but those are also outside the scope of these tags.
I think the combination of gay / lesbian + gangbang / orgy / threesome covers this context.

This could actually be done. Doesn’t need to be a required tag, but I can make a mutually exclusive group of tags.
I have set a series of threesome tags for m, t, and f (male, trans, female)

This kind of suggestion was also previously discussed, in a way, here (Cuckold vs NTR tags + group tags):

@Splime

Additionally, how about creating #multiple-boys and #multiple-girls tags like all boorus have? It’s more general than gangbang and reverse-gangbang, which can’t be applied to a lot of videos that have groups in them, making it harder to filter and search those.

We reached a compromise because of the way we were tagging at the time:

@VladTheImplier

If the tag situation in discourse gets better we can look more to being a booru style tagging. I would also increase the tag limit from 15 to probably 30 and allow much more niche tags, but for now. I think simpler is better.

But in hindsight, the #multiple-<group> tags should be the simpler, more general ones.

The idea

The threesome tags are really nice to have, and the gangbang/reverse-gangbang/orgy trio can work for a lot of cases, but they still miss a bunch of scenarios that can’t be described by existing tags. The proposed tags are also neutral, without the connotations that existing tags have. My argument is that the proposed tags wouldn’t be niche, they would actually be more general and apply to more cases.

Examples about some of the proposed tag relationships based on the existing tags:

• gangbang mostly implies #multiple-male, but #multiple-male doesn’t imply gangbang
• reverse-gangbang mostly implies #multiple-female, but #multiple-female doesn’t imply reverse-gangbang
• orgy mostly imples #multiple-male and #multiple-female, but #multiple-male and #multiple-female present at the same time doesn’t imply orgy.
• gay implies #multiple-male, but #multiple-male doesn’t imply gay
• lesbian implies #multiple-female, but #multiple-female doesn’t imply lesbian
• threesome mostly implies #multiple-male or #multiple-female, but is ambiguous unless a child tag like mmm, mmf, mff, etc., is used, which is harder to manage when you want to search for or filter a group (multiple male/female/trans/futa)
• foursome mostly implies #multiple-male and/or #multiple-female, but is ambiguous (similar to threesome)
• …

The multiple-<group> tags are more generic in general and can tag scenarios where current tags break because they are too specific. Some examples:

• Woman A has sex with man B. In another scene, woman C has sex with man B. This is #multiple-female, but not threesome nor lesbian.
• Man A and B have sex with woman C, but A and B don’t interact. This is threesome, but I would not call it gay.
• Man A and woman B have sex somewhere. Man C and woman D have sex somewhere else. This is #multiple-female and #multiple-male, but not gay, nor lesbian, nor orgy, nor foursome.

The examples above are mostly only M and F for simplicity. I do realize there will be edge cases where part of the characters in the media are trans or futanari (e.g.: futa + male + female gangbang wouldn’t use any of the proposed tags), but those should be extremely rare and I do think the proposed tags would fit a larger amount of media than the tags we currently have.
