BUR #49019 has been rejected.

mass update pool:1632 -> unamused
nuke pool:1632

Alternatively, since there doesn't seem to be a clear difference in usage... The pool mentions, "For best results, said character should witness something completely random or stupid," but that's not the only case in which it's used.

re: for your eyes only and in relation to what evazion said above, i'm trying to brainstorm a more descriptive name for the tag and i've landed on exclusive exhibitionism as a candidate, inspired by the wording of pool #18912's description. i think it could work unless there's some obvious room for misinterpretation that i'm not seeing.

no opposition, so let's bur it. alternative to BUR #48725.

mass update pool:1246 -> too_dumb_to_live
nuke pool:1246

Relatedly, this pool. Figured the original name is too ambiguous, so I suggest instead the name from TVTropes (where this pool and the related pool #1561 actually have an entry on).

On that note, what should be done with pool #1561? I feel like that's also a fairly objective concept, but I'm not sure if "Told You Not To Do That" is a good enough name for a tag.

As per topic #28348, this is a pretty objective concept for a tag, I think.

I don't know, I think the posts may need to be gardened out into more specific/appropriate tags. There's a big disparity between some of them showing someone about to die horrifically :

Cutesy jokes and dumb gags:
post #10039055
post #10077148

Or showing something that will piss a character off:

There's a lot of overlap between the contents of this pool and the imminent death tag, so I feel a fair amount of the pool can be shunted off into there before creating a new tag.

Imminent Death has itself been attempted to be deprecated back in topic #25125. Honestly, I think chances are good this pool, once converted to a tag, can be used as an excuse to finally deprecate the damn tag, if people still wanna (as it has been two years by this point).

Obviously, clean up the pool before it goes through.

So anyway, what do we want to do with pool #5960: "Current Events"? While on the surface, it seems to be open and shut, in practice this pool is a hodge-podge between irl politics to Umamusume reacting to irl horseracing events.

I'm tempted to just go ahead and flatout nuke it, but does anyone have any suggestions for converting it into a tag first? That feels like something good for the blacklist were it not filled with things like the horses. I imagine someone who hates politics but likes Umamusume or the latest viral meme taking off would not appreciate having the latter blacklisting.

If anything, getting rid of the pool sounds like very good reason to keep the imminent death tag around, especially as it's a much more self-descriptive tag than its supposed replacements. Dying sounds like it means actively dying, while peril is so incredibly ambiguous I can't believe it hasn't been depreciated yet. The fact the tag fits in with all the other "imminent_*" tags is a bonus, too.

I don't think the Impending Doom pool necessarily needs its own tag: filter it out into imminent death and other tags as necessary and the pool can just be nuked outright.

I'll let these exist separately for now so they can be cleaned up. Completely unamused tended to be used when a character was unamused by another character's antics, whereas unamused is often used when a character is just annoyed, expressionless, or giving off a blank stare. It needs a lot of cleanup so that the concept of "unamused by another character" isn't lost.
