[Pool Idea] Tank Porn

Posted under General

Generally, well-drawn pictures of tanks in all of their glory...

Also FYI, no_humans tanks has quite a few misses...

However, maybe if the humans just occupy a very small portion of the image, like a head sticking out, those could count too...

If desired, this could also be expanded to include, all weapons, to include airplanes, ships, other ground vehicles, or hand operated weapons (i.e. guns, swords, etc)...

Just as a reminder, "Scenery Porn" (pool #3020) and "Food Porn" (pool #874) are already a thing.

Please respond with thoughts about the pool idea, qualifiers (such as (maybe human)/(no human) or quality of the picture), and/or pool name ideas.

I'd probs go with Vehicle Porn since I've seen some really well drawn/detailed motorcycles, airplanes and such as well.

Ah, just thought about this, but should only real vehicles/weapons be allowed? I.e. Gundams, Landmasters, etc need not apply....

I propose making a vehicle_focus tag for this. Reasoning:

  • A vehicle being well-drawn is subjective, but being the main subject of the image is not. That's perfectly taggable.
  • If it's a tag it can include everything, not just a subjective collection that leaves out posts that may be interesting, but not the absolute highest quality.
  • There is already a small precedent for tagging the main subject of an image: solo_focus/male_focus/cat_focus, scenery, landscape. Or more broadly, general themes: scifi, fantasy, bdsm.
  • Tags could be made for other things as you suggest - tank_focus, mecha_focus, weapon_focus, whatever else - without creating an explosion in pools. Indeed, one problem with Danbooru tagging is the tendency to get caught up in tagging minute inconsequential details but neglecting to tag what the image is actually about overall. So having more tags to describe the primary subject matter of an image would be very helpful.
  • Tags have various small advantages over pools: they can implicate parent tags, they can show up in the related tags list when tagging, and they can be autodetected in the Pixiv tags (if Pixiv indeed has a tag for it, which it does seem to for food porn).
  • And as the person who initially created the Food Porn pool: I originally intended it for hyper-realistic food images / images with a major focus on food, but in retrospect I regret naming it that a little since the name has led to ambiguity in what should be included.

My first impression when I read the title is mecha-musume porn (*cough Suzuki Kyoutarou's Tankolle *cough*). Because, well, scenery and food aren't anthropomorphized as often, and those terms were already used elsewhere.

Part of that was intentional... I wanted people to read the topic, so I tried to create an interesting title...

Besides what you mentioned, it could also mean the Rule 34 version of tank porn ... *SHUDDER*...

It's still fairly tame rather than Rule 34 for actual Gundam and Transformers...
