This is a specific kind of irony, though. If we absorbed hypocrite into irony, it would just make them harder to search for. And it makes your argument for unaliasing hypocrite make even less sense since it would reduce the options users have for finding these posts for no reason, especially if it's renamed to the old pool name (not that I think there's actually a chance of that BUR passing).
Also, how is Momoi not being hypocritical in post #6250221?
i don't think people get called "hypocrites" over something like that
hypocrisy usually means doing something morally wrong. like saying you like "free speech" but doing everything in your power to suppress speech you don't like. that is hypocrisy because "free speech" is an ideology.
if there was an approver that wouldn't approve western artwork but would post it themselves then that too would be hypocrisy, because "western art doesn't belong on danbooru" is an ideology that they profess and force upon others but don't apply it to themselves
Momoi saying "you suck at this" while sucking at the game isn't ideological. it's stupid and funny. so i think if you had someone do something like this with you, you wouldn't call them an hypocrite you would call them an idiot (in a playful way)
if irony isn't a good tag, that's fine, but i don't think the original BUR is going to improve anything.
you found that some people didn't like how "You're The Last Person I Want To Hear That From!" is called "hypocrite" now and the solution you came up with was... changing it to the "hypocrisy"? idk if that's an improve or not, but i don't think the people who complained about it being changed to "hypocrite" are going to be satisfied with it changing to "hypocrisy". what they want is something that sounds like "You're The Last Person I Want To Hear That From!" and keeps the spirit of the pool
maybe ridiculous hypocrisy would be a better name if we are to insist on calling it hypocrisy?
