For the pics that feature those things though, it can make a picture that is nearly impossible to find rather quick and easy to discover, so I think they're valuable. I'd advocate for a lot of different tags like that actually, since the point is to be able to find the pic you're after without sorting through 2 million others. Things like dolphin, hello kitty, and so on.
Well, there are 2 points I would consider before adding a tag :
- is there currently a tag, or combination of tags, that can already suit it ? For example sweatshirts can easily be found with sweater + sweats (even though you could also find pics of a girl wearing a jumper with sweatpants).
- is there enough pictures to justify the creation of a tag ? You could argue it's not the case for tie for example but it's something you can't find with other tags (also, there are currently not much results for it because it's a new tag and thus a lot of old pics with ties/bow ties aren't tagged with it).
I get your point of having lots of tags to suit as much settings as possible but we also need to keep the tag system not too complicated if we want to have tags that are relevant and easy to find. There are tags that were pretty useless that have been deleted. Maybe others could be, it's up for discussion ^^
As for the bananas/cucumber, they were here before the "food" tag and are also "common" objects used as sex-toys so I guess that's why they have their own tag.
There are lots of stuff that could be changed though. The problem often is that if you change/delete/add a tag, you then have a ton of things to correct in the database to the point it's humanly not possible and can't be automated either. I'll give one example : selfshots. There are 2 kinds of selfshots : those taken in the mirror and those taken directly. Currently you tag them selfshot (+ mirror). 2 problems : mirrors can also be part of a picture that is not a selfshot. If you want those you'll have to go though a ton of mirror selfshots too which is not ideal. Other problem : if you want to find a direct selfshot, you'll also have to go though all the other mirror selfshots as well in the results. So what could be done is have 2 separate tags : mirror-selfshots and direct-selshots. Mirror would only be used for pictures taken by a second person with the girl reflecting on a mirror in the background. It's easy to do BUT we'd have to sort all the pics currently tagged selfshot/mirror and correct them which is roughly 15000pics.
(Annnd that's a wall of text
