Aided Exposure - When a character is (or in the process of) exposed to another or the viewer due to the antics (or accidents) of another character.

These chance exposures are different from Wardrobe_Malfunction in that they are directly caused by someone else but much like it, these events are rather unwanted by the victim anyhow. Examples include : Sharking or accidental tripping

Is a tag like this worth using? I'm not entirely sure where it sits with the skirt_flip tag though.

Examples of these would be :

Well, there's the pantsing tag (which oddly enough is on a few things that don't involve pants, like post #110009 and post #508120)...

I believe that's because sharking was aliased to it.

"Involuntary exposure" could also work as a name for this, but it's possible for it to be a team effort instead.

I like the concept, but I think it needs a better name.

Probably, I just needed a name for the thread header really.

I do think Involuntary Exposure would be a bit too much like wardrobe_malfunction though, plus it doesn't really say much about it being done by someone else purposely.

Maybe the pantsing/sharking tag does work best overall but I dunno. Doesn't sound all that good for when it involves 'ALL OF A SUDDEN, CHECK OUT THESE TITS!' 'Kyaaaah!' situations (I have a difficult time naming things, sue me).

How about...Assisted Exposure?

How about...Assisted Exposure?

I was actually going to suggest that before I got to the end of your post. Covers the concept neatly and is neutral regarding the voluntariness (is that even a word?) of the act.

+1 for assisted exposure.

I honestly don't see the difference between aided and assisted, but then again I don't see a problem with calling it either.

I think I like assisted exposure better too. Doing a quick Google search for support, it looks like "assisted *" is used more for "physical actions" like "assisted living", "assisted suicide", "assisted recovery", etc. On the other hand, "aided *" appears to be used more for "mental actions" like "aided design", "aided drafting", etc, and used more in the "Computer Aided ______" paradigm. Undressing a person being more physical than mental, I'd say the former fits better

tldr: assisted exposure++

Alrighty, though before I begin, should I add those included in the 'pantsing' tag with this?

For a moment I had kinda forgotten that pantsing was pretty much also included within assisted exposure.

You mean go through pantsing and manually add assisted_exposure? No need for that, an implication could do the job.

I wouldn't mind keeping them separate, to distinguish accidental exposures to purposeful ones.

They would be separate: accidental exposures would get wardrobe_malfunction, purposeful ones would get assisted_exposure.

The point is that a large part of assisted exposures are unintentional, for example post #867437.

If the tag was more for purposeful stuff, wouldn't forced_exposure be a bit better, then? Honestly, to me, wardrobe_malfunction sounds like something went wrong with the clothes themselves, and someone else tripping and pulling them off doesn't fit that kind of bill.

But "assisted" is neutral enough that it can cover both. I'm in favour of that proposal so far.

Right, I misinterpreted your comment. I meant for wardrobe_malfunction to apply to unintentional unassisted exposures.

I think I agree with Hazuki that intent may be too fine a grain of semantics to have here, and that we simply use assisted_exposure regardless of intent.

Go with assisted.

Alrighty, I'll get on tagging it then.
