Moving the Canon pool to a tag

As it stands, I don't see why perversion of canon shouldn't then logically imply canon. Unless you really don't want porn in your canon search I guess? is:sfw is right there...

I don't know about implying one to the other, but technically speaking, I'd assume that canon would also imply to pornographic content too. In fact, checking pool:13629 is:nsfw reveals as much, whether it be Bulma accidentally flashing Roshi in Dragon Ball, or canonical depictions of sex (I'm assuming these are referencing something that happened off-screen, which falls under the pool's 'indirectly' rule).

The way I see it is that perversion of canon necessarily requires a departure from actual canon, and thus it shouldn't imply it (and potentially even be mutually exclusive with it). If the canon scene is already "perverted", it should just be canon. Extending that reasoning, it should imply scene reference, though I don't know if there's other issues that pop up if this happens.

BUR #49236 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

convert pool:13629 -> canon_event

I had to nuke canon from Gelbooru because it kept being used as a parent tag for the most mundane things. It would get added to family posts because canonically, they were a family; it would be added to birthday posts because canonically, that is in fact the character's birthday; hell, I had to nuke like 5 different versions of canon_couple because it (and by extension canon) was almost exclusively used for random Bleach/Naruto porn.

If the pool is for canonical events (or references to them), then the tag should be called canon_event. canon is too vague and will be misused.
