Girls' Frontline character skin implications

Posted under Tags

BUR #45476 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias nikketa_(dance_like_the_blazing_sun)_(girls'_frontline_2) -> vsk-94_(dance_like_the_blazing_sun)_(girls'_frontline)

This is one that personally frustrates me, so I'm putting it up to a vote, especially since I don't know what precedent exists for something like this.

Nikketa's first skin for GFL2 turned out to be a cheerleader outfit, named the same thing in Chinese (and, as of a couple hours ago, English) as a cheerleader outfit she got for one of the Children's Day skin collections, Dance like the Blazing Sun.

However, if you compare the two, you'll find that they have design differences:

GFL1
GFL2

The bow hairband is a solid color for the OG, while it is two-toned for the new skin, the top is no longer connected at the sides and back for the GFL2 version unlike the original, the original had shorts and a duffel bag while the new version has a skirt and a belt pouch... I think they appear different enough that it is worth tagging them separately, but I know others might think that's unnecessary, so this BUR will decide it.

If the BUR gets rejected, then the GFL2 version will be implied to its relevant parent tag.

This feels sort of similar to Francis Drake (Stormy Seas Outfit)/Jeanne d'Arc (White Cruising), in that both of those tags encompass two different but similar skins for the same character covered by one tag, with hypothetically the ability to filter being covered by the two-tag copyright + costume tag search. I don't know enough about how thoroughly users tag copyright for GFL/how other "similar vibe" skins are handled for this copyright, but if this alias doesn't go through those aforementioned Fate tags might be split (by someone else, not me. I don't care enough about those costumes specifically.)

The copytags are fairly thoroughly tagged, but I don't think we have had any similar skins of this nature for GFL. While GFL2 has introduced several legacy skins from GFL1, each of these look identical to their GFL1 counterpart, with this skin being the only exception. However, if we're following past precedent, then I suppose the tag can encompass both costumes.
