Content Tag Types

Activity, Animal, Attribute, Change, Costume, Creature, Gallery-Wide, High Presence, Location, Low Presence, Technical, Tool

General Notes

• A participants current gender is determined visually.
  • If visually ambiguous, in gallery context may be used to determine if a character is female or male.
  • If gallery context is ambiguous, and the work is a parody, then canon information may be used.
  • In any cases of total gender ambiguity (no visual or contextual cues) all tagging defaults to hetero-normative. Solo participants default to female.
• If the gender cues are absent, rogue genitalia defaults to the gender said genitalia typically originates from:
  • A rogue penis is assumed to belong to a male participant.
  • A rogue vagina is assumed to belong to a female participant.
• All creators are to be tagged as they are credited (tag slaving aside). Colophons overrule covers.
• furry and alien are not mutually exclusive.
• Be wary of fetish overreach, particularly with alien, furry, monster, and vore:
  • Creatures from pokemon, etc. are judged between animal, monster, and furry based on their level of anthropomorphization and animal attributes.
    • Very animalistic ones like mudsdale and rapidash are generally animals (horses).
    • Humanoid-animals like lopunny, pikachu, and mewtwo are essentially always furry.
    • Very humanoid ones like gardevoir and jynx should be monster [girl].
  • The same as above applies to digimon (e.g. impmon is a demon, not furry).
  • Vore generally only applies when entry is via the mouth; otherwise unbirth, absorption or one of the -phagia tags may be correct.
  • The alien tag requires explicit visual attributes (e.g. gem characters from steven universe and saiyans from dragon ball z do not qualify).
• Clones disqualify sole tags and can qualify for selfcest.
• "Change" tags (e.g. breast expansion) do not necessitate transformation.
• Characters that share the exact same name use the same tag. The same applies to creators.
• Do not blindly trust titles, they can be misleading.

Creator Notes

• Artist tags are assigned to lineart, illustrators, inkers, pencilers, or any individuals credited as contributing to the artwork at its core. Colorists, [layout] designers, letterers, editors, authors, writers, assistants, etc. do not qualify.
• a:anonymous is only for works explicitly credited as such. For any works where no creator can be verified it is best to leave them untagged.

Parody Notes

• Parodies are generally not permitted to encompass multiple franchises at once (e.g. capcom vs. snk, disney, marvel comics, super smash brothers, type-moon, etc.). Tag each applicable franchise instead.
• Most vtubers (e.g. kizuna ai, zone-tan, etc.) and other characters such as e-celebrities, memes, and online avatars do not have corresponding parody tags unless they are under a formal commercial franchise (e.g. neurotically yours, os-tan, vocaloid).

Non-Pornographic

• Most tags may apply to Non-H and non-pornographic Western or 3D works as long as they follow the presence rule.
  • Attributes like big breasts and giantess can apply without nudity/sex.
  • 1-image tags like lolicon can apply on implicitly sexual imagery or explicit nudity.
  • Animal and most Activity tags do not apply.
    • Activities that don't explicitly require sex may apply (e.g. ahegao, drunk).
• Non-pornographic content that is not directly relevant to an otherwise pornographic gallery does not receive any tags.

Canonical Information

• Any series of media that has information may use such information only for the following content/fetish tags:
  • Familiar relations (incest)
  • Romantic relations (e.g. cheating)
  • Gender, when determining a characters previous gender for the gender change or gender morph tags, or when there is total visual and context ambiguity as to the participants current gender.
  • Clarification on ambiguous character design (e.g. fox girl vs. wolf girl)
    • Non-ambiguous cases strictly use visual cues (e.g. A character with the body of a loli does not disqualify the lolicon tag simply because the series deems them to be an adult)

Presence Notes

The presence rule is the cornerstone of tagging on E-Hentai. The paradigm being that anything tagged on a gallery is easily found and is of a satisfactory amount.

• The generic 25% rule is a baseline used for the most common gallery (a ~20 page doujinshi). It does not scale up past that point nor is it ironclad. Sequential images generally lower the burden to meet minimum presence.
  • 20+ sequential pictures are generally acceptable for even the largest-sized galleries.
  • The more fragmented non-sequential images are the less they count.
• Non-content images do not count toward a gallery's image count for presence purposes.
  • Examples: colophons, blank pages, credits, adverts, and artist notes.
    • Colophons, artist notes, and first party credit page illustrations may count when the illustration is sexually relevant while not being a duplicate or cropped duplicate of the cover illustration. Non sexual images on these pages may only count when it is a direct continuation of the main story.
    • Backgrounds and menus for CG galleries do not count.
    • Novel pages do not count unless they are essentially the only content within a gallery.
    • Copies of the cover in structured non-cg works such as doujinshi, usually placed at the end of a work, do not count. This includes cropped/zoomed in versions of the image, or images with minor changes, such as censoring.
    • Samples of the work or other works, such as tiled thumbnail previews etc, in structured works, usually placed at the end of a work, do not count.
• A 4-or-less image gallery can have nearly anything within it be tagged (although this is ill advised for [Ongoing] galleries since their validity may change once more images are added).
• For anthologies or (Various) works 4+ sequential images suffices for artists who are credited.
• Whilst the incest tag is 1-image only, the accompanying family tags (e.g. mother) are not and thus do not necessarily qualify if the actual activities involving them is too low in presence.
  • The same applies to all of the bestiality and animal-related tags.
• Language tags are granted some leniency due to their metadata flagging.
  • Exception: Imageset-style galleries require a majority of its images (50%+) containing text in that language before qualifying.

1-Image Only Tags

• Anywhere: abortion, bestiality, blood, eye penetration, guro, incest, inseki, lolicon, scat, shotacon, snuff, toddlercon, vomit.
• Stories / Sequences Only: anal birth, burping, navel birth, nipple birth, penis birth, smegma, vaginal birth.
• Fjording tags are valid on a gallery if any gallery in the chain has fjordable content.

Gallery-Wide Tags

• A list of gallery-wide tags can be found here.
  • 1 image is enough to qualify or disqualify most of Gallery-Wide tags. Omake/covers/credits/colophons are ignored.
  • Gallery-Wide tags that indicate the gender of the participants, for example sole female, males only, etc. allow for minimal amounts (no more than a single page) of conflicting content so long as the depicted actors are not vividly displaying sexual activity beyond nudity, and are not real or in-universe participants, e.g. being depicted in a magazine.
