Getting rid of stuffed_animal

BUR #8953 has been rejected.

create alias stuffed_animal -> stuffed_toy

stuffed_animal makes up about 90% of stuffed_toy; there's no reason to have one tag for all stuffed toys and another tag for the vast majority of them.

I don't follow that reasoning at all. How do you propose someone find stuffed toys that aren't animals, then?

I agree with vigil here.
That removes searching correctness.

The solution to that is to tag the exceptions, not the overwhelmingly more common example. This is like having a non-inverted_nipples tag that implies nipples instead of just using inverted_nipples.

So you want a non-animal stuffed toy tag?

It would be preferable to what we have now, yes.

I think it's counter-intuitive.

Preferable how exactly? In what way does doing the reverse, but still basically the exact same, of what we're doing now benefit tagging or searching?

I stumbled onto this post because of the downvotes, don't really care about the tags but I agree with AngryZapdos's sentiment here,
I looked at like couple pages of stuffed_animal/stuffed_toy/"-stuffed_animal stuffed_toy" and either it's mistagged a lot or that I don't see the difference.
Having them divided into two different tags would be more preferable as like "non-animal stuffed toy" or something with a better name.

And also we are literally doing the same thing this BUR suggests because holding stuffed animal is aliased to holding stuffed toy.
I can't even search for a post that has a character holding stuffed animal while there's a stuffed toy laying around like post #4208928.
And I surely won't be able to find this image if I were to search "-stuffed_animal stuffed_toy".

It makes more sense to me to divide and garden them into two tags as said before and have this alias pass.
