imply paw_boots -> animal_feet

Posted under Tags

"This includes both paw gloves worn over the real hands, and real paws that are part of the body."

Should those really be lumped together?
I think actual animal arms and paw gloves, which are more for cuteness, are quite distinct concepts. As the name suggests, one are kinda like gloves while others are part of the body.

I'd rather nuke the existing implication.

Unless they are the slender kind of animal hands (lizard ones particularly), there's really no way to differentiate between them.

Well, most "true" animal hands go alongside something like furry: post #4763113 or post #4750911 or post #4734367.
And then you have stuff like post #4840138 where those are clearly gloves i.e. not part of the body.

So, I dare say you can differentiate that pretty well, mostly because you see the physique of a character alongside their hands.

Also, it doesn't help that some actual animals are tagged with animal hands, like in post #4841370.

It also doesn't help that a huge portion of tags under animal hands aren't tagged with paw gloves, which makes finding actual animal handed characters a pain in the butt:
You basically have to slap furry on that search because animal hands -paw gloves is very unreliable.

Those tags need some major gardening before discussing things further.

remove implication paw_shoes -> shoes
create alias paw_boots -> paw_shoes

I just noticed we have two tags for this. Boots are a type of shoe and I don't think we need to distinguish them in this case, especially considering the results for both look almost identical.

We keep boots and shoes distinct, and paw shoes implies shoes right now, so that alias would add shoes to a lot of boots posts. The implication needs to be removed first.
