With the arrival of Doremy_sweet there has been an uptick of the tag of tapir_tail for what her tail is. The problem is that well tapir tails are not really like that, they're rather stubby things. What Doremy has is should be a baku_tail as one of the traits of the baku is cowlike tail that Doremy possesses is most definitely not that of
No clue if it'd justify an alias as I have a feeling mistaggings would still be common even if this change went through.
Changing the tag to baku tail doesn't resolve the concern I pointed out in the other thread: namely, this tag is completely redundant and would function no differently from a doremy_sweet tail search. Tags that only ever get used for one character are pointless, and I'm not aware of any other baku-based characters.
Considering that the mythical baku has the tail of an ox anyway, why shouldn't we just tag baku tails as cow tails? Making a different tag for what is essentially the same thing only worsens our tag fragmentation problem.
I'm kinda glad that this topic has been brought back up. Regardless, I think that this should be handled on a case-by-case basis rather than a bulk update, since it was mentioned that some of the posts with Doremy's tail appeared to have more of a devil tail rather than a cow tail.
I do agree with getting rid of the misleading tapir_tail though.
