Tell me how many times anyone is going to need to find every picture on OYP that with bare shoulders, or if its reeeaaaallyyy important to make a distinction between hair colors compared to making it easier to find aquatic marisas among all the marisa pictures

No, it's not that important.
But if someone wants to add tags like that, why should we stop him?

Because its hella pointless? And if we're going to start tagging needlessly because it makes someone feel good, why stop there! I've always thought it'd be nice if people tagged an image with how they felt about it.

it's the paralel of putting, in an anime dedicated image board, every car or gun model as tag when a "car" or "rifle/pistol/shotgun/gun" tag is fine.
As I said, even if it's unnecessary, why should one be unable to do it if one wants to?
I can't seem to to find any negative things about it.

Tagging actual things≠tagging subjective things
DERP
Wait, it's already done, those are called "cute" and "anger_inducing"
Well cute and anger_inducing are old as hell tags, and everybody who had been long enough here they know what they are for and what they would be searching if they used them.
Again, way different from doing the paralel of putting every car model name ever when our image board isn't about cars.
You want a negative thing? well you start adding more and more tags for every small thing, the tag list clusters and it's a pain in the ass, one thing is it clustering because of a big ass pic with over 9000 yu's or characters, another is for it to cluster because we include every aspect of the pic from hair color to the type of socks they wear.
Seriously why it bothers you? you have a problem by not being able to tag that kind of stuff?

When your entire argument for adding needless tags seems to be "because why not?" then you can't start putting in arbitrary divisions regarding subjective and objective and how one is good feelgood and the other is badwrong feelgood.
The idea of OYP's tag is to help to search, but to avoid redundancy since our theme is quite limited, "anything yukkuri related", because of that, our tags are meant to be focused on yukkuris and since we don't work with the same ammount of picture influx as danbooru or gelbooru, there is no need to have unnecessary tags like hair color, eye color, type of clothes, "body part focus", etc.
From time to time there are weirds or unique tags but in general we try to not be redundant and focus on the yukkuris, since they are the ones starring this show.

>implying that real objects aren't real and are comparable to subjective emotions.
but don't get me started on philosophy regarding semantics and different peoples perspective on reality in contrast to their knowledge of the world.

90% of the times, the specifics won't be mentioned and can thus not be written out. I have yet to see a picture where a artist specifically says "durhh this is a ferrari" or "she's wearing socks from GAP! *ba dum tss*"
Since OYP isn't a place with a huge variety of mega uber gigantic pictures with >9000 things like danbooru, then I don't see why you shouldn't have a few pics with a lot of tags, even if it's for that pic alone.
I don't think that people will add things like "shirt", "undershirt" and "t-shirt" anyway. More like things that stand out, such as the de-attached sleeves, or a water bottle, meaning things that the focus is put upon rather than very small things in the background.
And no, I don't have a real problem with it, since I'm not planning to do it myself.
