Species_form tags aren't generally valid.

I suppose that makes sense, since tagging a post with both 'robot' and 'feral' would be the same thing. But wouldn't this also apply to the robot_humanoid tag?

It should, but for some reason species_humanoid and species_taur is more accepted. I'm not sure why.

I don't think 'robot' functions as a typical species tag. It's rarely a stand-alone tag and acts more as a species or bodytype modifier.

The idea is surely to not "pollute" the normal results (iirc they should only imply higher level species tags like canid, so they don't touch the more specicic tags), but considering you can just subtract or blacklist the form that doesnt really hold any substantial value

I'd be on board with tossing them out the window, but that's a herculean task at this point, not to mention how many people would need to be convinced
