Dead by Daylight killers

In Danbooru most killers are called by their name and surname, rather than their in-game names, which is how the community (and the developers) refer to them.

For example, no one refers to The Hag as lisa_sherwood, to The Oni as yamaoka_kazan, to The Trickster as hak_ji-woon.

However there are cases where it's reversed, mostly for licensed killers - everyone refers to The Shape as michael_myers, to The Nightmare as freddy_krueger. And there are exceptions to this, where people refer to The Pig from saw_(movie) as... The Pig, not amanda_young.

I would propose the following changes:
alias evan_macmillan -> the_trapper_(dead_by_daylight)
alias philip_ojomo -> the_wraith_(dead_by_daylight)
alias max_thompson_jr. -> the_hillbilly_(dead_by_daylight)
alias sally_smithson -> the_nurse_(dead_by_daylight)
alias lisa_sherwood -> the_hag_(dead_by_daylight)
alias kenneth_chase -> the_clown_(dead_by_daylight)
alias yamaoka_kazan -> the_oni_(dead_by_daylight)
alias hak_ji-woon -> the_trickster_(dead_by_daylight)
alias carmina_mora -> the_artist_(dead_by_daylight)

These tags are already "correct" or technically "correct", but in my opinion might need some changes:
alias the_huntress -> the_huntress_(dead_by_daylight)

  • could use a copyright qualifier

alias yamaoka_rin -> the_spirit_(dead_by_daylight)

  • two tags exist, without an alias

alias amanda_young -> the_pig_(dead_by_daylight)
* in relation to Dead by Daylight, she's The Pig, but I'm not sure about the Saw movies and other fandoms where she potentially exists

These tags are the ones I'm uncertain about:
the_legion_(dead_by_daylight)

  • The Legion is technically a group of 4 people, all of which have seperate skins/masks, but all of them are referred to as The Legion. I suppose this tag stays as it is

ghostface

  • I'm not certain to which copyright Ghostface belongs to, but he's just called The Ghostface or Ghostface by the community

There's some... hijinks with copyrights. According to the ghostface wiki:
"A version of Ghostface appears in Dead by Daylight, but is not licensed from the Scream film and wears a different costume aside from the mask, likely due to the fact that the iconic mask is in fact a royalty free prop."

I wouldn't take too much care about that. If you didn't know that an image of ghostface is supposed to be from dead by daylight, you would simply add the Scream copyright, because that's where everyone knows that character from.
As the name is pretty much good enough and everyone knows it, we simply have to change nothing in his case.

Given that Amanda Young isn't from DbD herself, I'd say to leave her tag as is. If anything, I'd invert the alias for her since The Pig is only her name in DbD and we should tag characters according to their source copyright (eg., ash (titanfall 2) having ash (apex_legends) aliased to it since she originates from TF2)
