A few days ago, I discovered that many, if not all of the tags that indicate a portrayed character interacting with the viewer had been deleted, possibly by Builder BrokenEagle98.
This is utterly baffling because both were fairly old tags and describe accurately a unique action within a piece of art.
Additionally, somehow, for example, speaking_to_viewer was purged, but other character/viewer interaction tags like incoming_gift/kiss/hug/punch/pocky_kiss ext remain active, fulfilling a similar purpose but for some reason being left untouched despite many being used less than interacting_with_viewer ext.
Why was this done? It serves no purpose.
Plus it's really frustrating because I'd been going through posts a week ago accurately tagging as many images as I could and trying to get other people to use the tag more frequently. Yes, that's a personal squabble but all the same.
I've reapplied the tags to a *single* image I consider appropriate for both interacting_with_viewer_ and talking_to_viewer. It's here post #2282563.
