Keywords

All users must abide by the Keyword Policy. Be sure to read it in addition to the general information provided on this page.

As part of the submission process there are three basic categories of keywords; Gender, Species, Themes/Kinks. This section is dedicated to suggesting proper keywords & explaining what those keywords actually mean. Always try to use the more basic keyword to avoid having too many alternative keywords being used across the site.

Genders

Listing genders is important to help users find content with genders they enjoy while avoid content with genders they don't. Because of this some gender keywords are required and others are not:

Required Gender Keywords

Full gender names of characters that appear in submissions are Keyword_Policy#Minimum_Required_Keywords required as explained in the Keyword_Policy Keyword Policy.
The main three full gender names are:

• Male
• Female
• Herm

Optional Gender Keywords

There is not a standardized way of listing gender interactions. These are only suggestions and examples.
Please note that Inkbunny will automatically make all keywords lower case, and any use of upper case in this wiki page is for the ease of reading only.

Gender Identifiers

Here is a short list of commonly used descriptors for genders found in art.

• m (Man) - An adult with male genitalia.
• b (Boy) - A youth with male genitalia.
• f (Woman) - An adult with female genitalia.
• g (Girl) - A youth with female genitalia.
• h (Herm) - A character with both male & female genitalia.
• Etc.

Gender Interactions

Separated by slashes, combine all characters involved in the way they interact. Generally (but not always) the first listed is the gender taking the dominate role. This is harder to do when dealing with more than 2 characters, but just do what makes the most sense. Some examples:

• m/f - A Man with a Woman.
• f/g - A Woman with a Girl.
• m/m/b - Two Men and a Boy (often a threesome).
• m/h/f/m - A Man, Herm, Woman, and another Man (usually a group scene).
• Or any other combination that conveys what's happening in the submission. Have an entry for each pairing of characters in the submission if needed.

Species

Accurately listing all species involved in a submission is Keyword_Policy#Minimum_Required_Keywords required as explained in the Keyword_Policy Keyword Policy.
Simply add in the common species names of all the characters involved in the submission.
Some examples:

• Dog
• Cat
• Tiger
• Eagle
• Plant
• Etc.

Age Groups

These are important to help users who are looking for or trying to avoid specific content. Here are some examples of proper keywords used to define age groups:

• Babyfur
• Cub
• Teen
• Adult
• Elderly
• Etc.

Kinks

A kink refers to sexual subject matter of a submission (if any). Be sure to cover all major elements in a submission so all users can either find or avoid the submission based on it's content.

Required Examples

Here is an incomplete list of Keyword_Policy#Minimum_Required_Keywords required keywords that must be added (if they apply):

• Blood - Whenever blood or blood-like fluids are present in a submission. Usually from violence or rape, sometimes from when a character is 'losing' their virginity.
• Incest - Intimate relationship with family members; usually adult/cub (parent/offspring) or cub/cub (siblings/cousins).
• Necro - Characters engaging in sex acts with the deceased.
• Pee - Use of urination for sexual (watersports, marking) and/or non-sexual (relief) purposes.
• Rape - Characters forcing others to have sex against their will.
• Scat - Sex play including fecal matter.
• Vore - The eating of another character. Softvore is usually blood/gore-less, but Hardvore is quite messy and violent.

(Use your best judgement, please.)

Additional Examples

Here are a few keywords that should be added (if they apply):

• Chubby - Not quite obese, but not skinny either.
• Diapers - Used when a submission contains a garment worn by those who are incapable of controlling their bladder or bowel movements.
• Feet - When a footpaw is a major focus of a submission, and/or used to stimulate another character sexually.

• Tentacles - Dexterous/Prehensile shafts of organic material, usually phallic-like, penetrating the character(s) in the submission.
• Torture - Causing physical and/or mental agony to unwilling participants.

• Have a suggestion about how to make this wiki page better, or a suggestion on how to make keywords more effective? Open a Support Ticket and let the staff know.
