"Redundancy" pool

Posted under General

I've seen this pool around for a while now, and it's always gotten a bit under my skin whenever there is an image uploaded of characters similar to Reisen Udongein Inaba wearing a bunny suit. For some reason it gets tossed into this "Redundancy" pool. I don't believe this is actually redundant, so much as it is an obvious conclusion given her design. True redundancy would be if she also wore a second pair of bunny ears, making her ears redundant.

Let's look at how often this occurs. There are 13 pages of images in the Redundancy pool, and of those 13 pages, and nearly an entire page of Reisen in a bunny suit. However, it occurs far more often if we account for all characters with rabbit ears.

The question is, does a character that normally has rabbit ears deserve to be tossed into the Redundancy pool if they are only wearing the body portion of the bunny suit?

A few relevant examples of what I believe is proper usage of the pool:

Thanks for your time. I didn't want to make a large change to the pool without consent, for fear of griefing.
