deprecate multiple_swords
What's the point of this tag? Multiple swords in one pic is too broad to be of any use. dual wielding (and its siblings) or too many weapons+sword can search relevant pics better. It should be deprecated for the same reason multiple penises got deprecated.
(multiple weapons has a similar problem but at least it serves to describe when a variety of different weapons are present).

have you tried searching for multiple swords before asking what is the point of the tag? sword itself is "broad" since it can be held, sheathed, broken or planted. multiple swords is at least less broad than the sword tag
Still think this tag is garbage. If I wanted "multiple swords" I'd search dual wielding, field of blades, floating sword or anything more descriptive.
I maintain that it'd be nice to have a tag for a character like Youmu or Zoro who normally have multiple swords on them that they aren't necessarily holding, but the tag as it stands is way too broad to be useful in my opinion.
Dual wielding is holding at least two swords in each hand.
Multiple swords is more then one sword.
Too many weapons is over 5 imo.
Something like post #10475457 or post #10436213 doesn't fit with any of the other tags.
I also don't like using this tag for ordinary dual wielding, but it can be used in many other situations. (post #3994840 post #10137018 post #10424097)

dual wielding is holding two weapons, not swords. you can dual wield guns. you can even dual wield a single sword AND a gun.
I could understand a too_many_swords tag, but who is searching for all posts with two or more swords? Are we going to do this for other weapons too, and make multiple_guns, multiple_polearms, multiple_hammers and so on?
...evidently, some people feel the answer to that question is "yes", because multiple_knives also exists. Both should be nuked.

Those kinds of posts should get their own tag. multiple_swords gives a lot of false positives because it's for any post with more than one sword, not just multiple sheathed swords.
multiple_swords -holding
multiple_swords -holding -floating_weapon -planted
multiple_swords holding_weapon -dual_wielding -triple_wielding
multiple_swords roronoa_zoro -triple_wielding
multiple_swords asymmetrical_dual_wielding
I think there are quite a few uses for multiple swords.
Even if you want tags like "holding_swords"(include or exclude dual wielding), "swords on back". "floating swords", "planted swords", etc., we can imply them to multiple swords later instead of deprecate it.

These are all characters like Konpaku Youmu and Roronoa Zoro who have multiple sheathed swords on them, that should be a tag on it's own. This tag is overly broad, I don't see why you'd want to keep it lumped in with this instead of making a new tag for them.

So I said that we can imply "holding_swords", "swords on back". "floating swords", "planted swords", "sheathed swords", etc. to multiple swords. if you really want to use these swords tags.

The swords could be unsheathed, in the process of unsheathing etc. so idk what tag you'd even make for them to cover it like this tag does. And just being broad shouldn't be grounds for depractating it since some concepts are just broad by nature imo
