yukkuri have gender? should they count towards #girls/#boys tags?

for a while now, in tani_takeshi's 4koma series, when yukkuri appear, I don't count them towards the number of girls/boys in the picture, but others who have uploaded them and other yukkuri pictures, sometimes include the yukkuri as part of the girl/boy number. I'm wondering what is the correct usage of the "Number"_girls/boys tag in this case? should yukkuri be considered a gender and tagged as thus, or should they be considered a genderless creature or an animal and not have that apply towards the tag?

It seems to me.... Each osa-yukkuri is based on a particular Touhou character, and we apply character tags as if it was that character; e.g. if osa-Reimu is in the image, we tag the image with hakurei reimu even though the real Reimu isn't there. I think it would make sense to also count a yukkuri as one of whatever gender their base character is (albeit I've yet to see an osa-Unzan or osa-Rinnosuke, so it's almost always going to come out "count them as a girl.")

I'd count them as genderless. They don't have any visible gender-specific traits, and many gag strips show them mounting one another, regardless of original gender. (And I wouldn't count anything w/o genitalia as futanari.)

They're basically tomatoes or stress balls. Genderless.

I'm not so sure about normal yukkuri, but those osa yukkuri sure seem to have genders. Osa Patchy is seen wearing a string bikini several times, but never with swim trunks. I do count them.

We should use those tags ONLY for characters who look like humans.
