Nuke tandem footwear tags (high_heel_boots etc.)

BUR #13629 has been rejected.

nuke high_heel_boots
nuke platform_boots
mass update platform_heels -> -platform_heels high_heels

These three tags do nothing but mimic the searches for high_heels boots, platform_footwear boots and platform_footwear high_heels. high_heel_boots is an oldbooru holdover created over eight years ago, and platform_boots is recent but very likely inspired by it. Meanwhile, platform_heels doesn't even have a wiki and only implies platform_footwear.

These tags are akin to something like cross-laced_boots or long-sleeved_shirt or toeless_shoes or star-shaped_sunglasses, all of which would be shot down for exactly the same reason if suggested today.

You should make the title of this topic clearer so that interested users will care to open it.

It's like white legwear again: most of the time tags can't be replaced by arbitrary queries and the examples would fall apart on anything multiple girls. Granted, some of them hold fine with low mismatches in practice yet the tags can't be mimicked.

It wouldn't be an scandal nuking them though, they look uninteresting to me. If we do nuke them it should be because the interest in them isn't enough to justify their existence. Not because we think we have a query that almost replaces them.

Almost all gentags suffer from this issue. Every post with more than one character in focus will throw the results for every tag applied to them. The "posts with multiple characters" argument is not actually a criticism of this BUR, but rather a criticism of how we tag posts in general.

I've visited Danbooru for years. I have done nothing but view heels and appreciate the girls who wear them.

This is my first ever post like this. I'm certain nobody cares what i think, having contributed nothing, but here's what i think.

Do not nuke high heel boots. The other nukes are alright.

Nuking high_heel_boots will force free users like me into using 2 tags instead of one.
It would impair my searches and make things a hassle.
