Tag Implications -> Touhou roundup

I thought about what implications could always be valid: eye color isn't valid because the character could be with the eyes closed (besides the fact that eye colors aren't always respected). Iconic clothing items or maneirisms, however AWESOME (hakurei_reimu -> armpits) aren't valid either, because the drawing could have the character without them.

Some physical characteristics could be implied, however. I think hair color is default enough, and boring enough to add separately, as to make the following implications valid: (I marked the ones I feel can be troublesome with a ?)

hakurei_reimu -> brown_hair
kirisame_marisa -> blonde_hair

rumia -> blonde_hair
rumia -> short_hair
daiyousei -> green_hair
daiyousei -> fairy_wings ?
cirno -> blue_hair
cirno -> short_hair
cirno -> wings ?
hong_meiling -> red_hair
hong_meiling -> long_hair
patchouli_knowledge -> purple_hair
patchouli_knowledge -> long_hair
izayoi_sakuya -> white_hair
izayoi_sakuya -> short_hair
remilia_scarlet -> blue_hair
remilia_scarlet -> short_hair
remilia_scarlet -> bat_wings ?
flandre_scarlet -> blonde_hair

letty_whiterock -> short_hair
(letty's hair can be all kinds of whitish color in fanart)
chen -> cat_ears
chen -> brown_hair
chen -> short_hair
alice_margatroid -> blonde_hair
alice_margatroid -> short_hair
lily_white -> blonde_hair
lily_white -> long_hair ? (don't know enough art of her to see if this is followed)
lily_white -> angel_wings
lunasa_prismriver -> blonde_hair
lunasa_prismriver -> short_hair
merlin_prismriver -> blue_hair ?
lyrica_prismriver -> brown_hair
lyrica_prismriver -> short_hair
konpaku_youmu -> white_hair
konpaku_youmu -> short_hair
saigyouji_yuyuko -> pink_hair
saigyouji_yuyuko -> short_hair
yakumo_ran -> blonde_hair
yakumo_ran -> short_hair
yakumo_ran -> fox_ears
yakumo_yukari -> blonde_hair (long_hair not added because it's not always apparent)

If this idea is appreciated, I can put up implications for the other windows games.

*sigh*

We don't do implications of character traits, ever. Period.

Art is art, and people are people. Same way people are different, styles are different as well, and this covers any default clothes, mannerisms, or characteristics.

Monochrome / alternate hairstyle

Both of these are completely possible and either of them could cause most of these implications to be completely wrong. This is why we don't do character traits.

Oh, I see. Nevermind, then.

The thought is appreciated, I'm sure, but I agree with the others - characters implying certain traits is right out.

I could swear I once pondered about a suggestion similar to Cf's, but realized the problems involved pretty soon.

Cf, have you noticed the "Uploaded Tags" feature? With that, you can speed up tagging your favorite characters' appearances.

The "Related Tags" function is also useful in this situation.

One of the features I brought up in the "Danbooru 2" thread that I think would be useful here is to have the system automatically suggest appropriate tags. That would be a way to allow for semi-automatic tagging without the drawbacks of hard implications.

I suspect related tags to make people lazy.
I think about all the posts I see tagged as "hair_color eyes_color hair_length hat bow" regardless of the particularities of the image. Sometimes the colors aren't even right because the tagger uses the same tagging scheme for a given character regardless of the actual colors on the post he's uploading.

I suspect that most of that is done manually, and without related tags people would be even lazier. Tons of users put artist character copyright and nothing else. Some do even worse.

I personally never use related tags, as I find it easier to tag things manually while I look at a picture rather then spend the time looking for it. The only downside is perhaps the occasional mis- or missing tag.
