I've got a user that seems to be removing male_focus on this picture:

male_focus seems like a perfectly valid tag. If I'm wrong please let me know.
If it's appropriate, how do I stop this?
Thanks.

Yes, I removed male focus because the character is tagged 1other. Other characters aren’t male and thus there’s no male focus.
I don’t have a clue about FGO characters, so I checked a bunch of romulus quirinus (fate/grand order) posts and pretty much all were tagged 1other. FGO is full of characters that look like X but are supposed to be Y or Z, so I didn’t question that.
Didn't we agree that characters that look male should be tagged male, even if they're canonically unspecified (and same for females)? I just had to fix post #3986394 which was tagged as 1girl after a discussion on discord brought the character up, this seems kind of absurd to me.
Just so everyone knows the canon facts, Romulus Quirinus's FGO profile says this:
身長/体重:185cm・73kg
出典:ローマ神話
地域:欧州
属性:混沌・中庸 性別:―
最高存在として概念化したロムルスは、最早生物としての特徴や地上の役職などには当てはまらないHeight/Weight: 185 cm, 73 kg
Source: Roman Mythology
Origin: Europe
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Gender: ―
For Romulus, who was conceptualized as the ultimate being, things like characteristics as a life form or position on the world don’t apply anymore.
This is somewhat similar to qin_shi_huang_(fate/grand_order)'s profile:
性別:朕
言うまでもないが真人躯体の数値である。Gender: We
It goes without saying that these are the Zhenren framework's numerical values.唯一絶対にして永遠不滅、繁殖の必要すらないため性別をも超越している。
As the sole absolute is his eternal immortality, because reproduction is unnecessary, he's transcended gender as well.
And the original romulus_(fate/grand_order) profile says this:
性別:男性(ローマ)
ロムルスの一人称は常に「私(ローマ)」であるGender: Male(Rome)
Romulus first person pronoun is always "I (Rome)".
I have no strong opinion on what would be the proper tag to use here, other than noting that this seems like a similar case to qin_shi_huang_(fate/grand_order), who is also generally depicted with a masculine body type.
Pretty lengthy discussion on this topic just happened on Discord, so I'll drop a link in case anyone wants to skim through it:
