[Honkai: Star Rail] Costume implications

Posted under Tags

This is the type of BUR that seriously warrants its own thread, IMO, and I find it problematic that the Byleth BUR you're citing has only four(!!!) total votes and barely any discussion. That aside, though, the arguments here aren't very good, and there are differences from Byleth that you aren't taking into account. For one- "people just look for Stelle"- so what? "Hoyo uses the two equally in promotional art"- so what? An umbrella tag like this costs basically nothing, and it serves an actual purpose and saves a tag, so if you want to argue for removing it, I think you need to put forth a reason why the implications are actively bad, or incoherent, or somehow serve to harm navigation rather than help it. A good example of this is with the Jeanne/Jalter situation, with the implications randomly being made between different versions of the character with no real rhyme or reason. With Byleth, there's the argument that Male and Female Byleth have different costumes; and while I don't think that's a very great argument, it is AN argument, at least. With Caelus and Stelle, however, their costumes are substantially similar, to the point where it would take less words on a wiki page to describe the differences than to describe them separately. And you're just taking these precedents as justification without actually critically examining them I feel- like, it's LITERALLY the same character, and we're unironically saying "well Danbooru users are heavily biased towards female focus" as if that isn't a problem with us, and that we don't need more people posting male focus just generally (and I'm guilty of this too, honestly)- forcing people who are interested in the character, not the booba or lack thereof, to use two tags rather than one is just dumb and pointless, I feel.

Downvoting specifically because it needs to be its own topic. Megatopics are not the place to propose potentially controversial BURs and this is for costumes rather than fundamental reshaping of a large character tag. Resubmit this in a new topic including your reference post (forum #360094).

BUR #43037 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create implication firefly_(spring_missive)_(honkai:_star_rail) -> firefly_(honkai:_star_rail)

Should there be a SAM tag for this? It's very marginally different for something that they're selling for money but there are some differences.

If there's any fanart posted that is distinctly that version of SAM; I would think so? I haven't seen any though.
