Well, the character claims to not be a kid, but he sure looks like a shota, and this chapter has strong shota vibes. So, if it were up to me, I'd sure tag it as shota.

I see, thanks. Well I don't know what is considered shota or not on fakku, but still looks shota to me. Now if shota is only about age and not about body is something that you guys should let people know.

I feel you can usually judge a shota by his, ahem, junk, and that is most certainly shota junk. They do the whole foreskin bit even, but without calling it phimosis for once (refreshing!).

I'm actually more curious why shimapan was tagged since there are no stripped panties anywhere in this. I think shimapan was tagged instead of shota.

Art is a democracy @Almakh, in that while the author may intend one thing (which we can respect), we the audience perceive it in our own way. While he may not have intended to write a shota character, I think that there is enough people here who perceive it as such to justify the tag.

I find the impact of art on different people very interesting. Our perceptions are based on our past experiences as well as our current thoughts and feelings. In some way, each person who says "this should/shouldn't have tag X" is telling us something about themselves. Which I think is kind of cool.

@Almakh The point of the tags is to inform folks looking to read the chapter about what kind of content it has so that they can either search for it or avoid it. AFAIK, the author has no say with regards to what tags end up on the chapter, but even if they did, it would be counterproductive for them to tag the chapter in a way that the majority of readers disagreed with. For a chapter to be mis-tagged like that just makes it harder for folks who actually want that tag to find the chapter and that much more likely that someone who wants to avoid that tag will end up reading part of a chapter that contains content that they don't want. The tags are for the readers, not the authors.

Now, tagging can be pretty subjective sometimes, and some mistakes will be made, but complaints about the tags being wrong on FAKKU seem to happen fairly often.

I think that even if you wouldn't call it shota, if the artist(the creator) is saying that, maybe we should respect that.

He's got the shota dick and the boyish figure, mannerisms. I have seen shota tag on less.

However, I do remember a shota tag debate that Jacom weighed in on, and his point was that shota's can't have jobs (and the character in this one does make that claim).

That is tragedy and awful. Aside from vanilla story, it still a dark tone behide it. Really conflict my taste.

Which means her friends and neighbours were killed except her?
