Implicating bendy → bendy_and_the_ink_machine
Link to implication

Reason:

One of the cartoon/ink characters from the game.

Additional implications:
boris_(batim) -> bendy_and_the_ink_machine (We need to manually move these over, they're currently mixed in with non-batim characters)
alice_angel -> bendy_and_the_ink_machine

Ohohohohohoho...what do we have here? Someone trying to suggest a very sensible and straight-forward IMPLICATION!? Well wouldn't it be a pity if I made the argument that the simple tag bendy should have a suffix for CLARITY. Because who knows...some day there might be another character from a different franchise named "Bendy", and this implication would generate a BAD TAG. And if that were to happen the 7th seal would be broken, and the dark one would rise from his eternal slumber and from his many gaping maws would pour forth the THE SONG THAT WILL END THE WORLD. YOU'VE DOOMED US WITH THIS GOK. YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL!

But in reality I'm just gunna say +1.

Yeah I was wondering if it should maybe have a suffix as well, but unless there's already reason to do so, we normally don't.

That said, it may be confusable as an adjective, "this character is super bendy." That's a sort of thing that may apply in the now.

Honestly I'm a bit torn and feel we should maybe do the same here with what we did with cuphead; have it aliased to the series name, and then have the character name as "bendy_(character)" or something, to prevent people from tagging the character accidentally when they intended to use the series tag and not the character tag

but we haven't had any incidents of this happening yet so far, where it was kind of uncommon in the cuphead tags

...anyways i could see people using bendy for flexible (and in fact there is quite many cases of such thing happening ), also there is in fact other character named bendy)

yeah that also. perhaps bendy should be a disembag due to these issues

When you try to make a joke but it all goes horribly wrong...

I don't think we should disambig for a character with two uploads. Fosters (the show that character comes from) is 9 years old and we've gotten TWO images. Not exactly something that's going to come up often. It'll be a lot less work to keep things as-is.

Foster's is a brand of beer. Did you mean Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends?

...did you not read what i said? not only the other character, but also bendy gets tagged for flexible quite commonly

I read it I just thought it wasn't worth mentioning because I seriously doubt that is the case. Do you have any sort of evidence that it happens "commonly"? Seems like if it was an issue then the search "bendy -bendy_and_the_ink_machine" would be rife with images of flexible characters, which is not the case at all (the search returns zero results).

No I meant the beer. You got it right the first time. https://media.giphy.com/media/BIZkwFtu2xDlS/giphy.gif

wtf i DID link in my post a full list of every instance when bendy tag was used before the release of the game????

the fact that search results dont have any wrong results means only that someone keeps it clean. in fact it seems that the entire bendy tag was wiped and repurposed purely for this game character at the release of the game. until that people have been using it for flexible characters, and just because there i somewhat obscure game with charcter named bendy doesnt mean that people will suddenly stop trying to use bendy for flexible characters

Well that link you provided doesn't work for me. I tried to recreate the search myself and there are a lot of bendyX tags mixed in there as well...things like bendykins and bendy_straw. It's not all "bendy" meaning "flexible". Also, I think a more useful experiment would be to know how many times since the release of BATIM it's been used to mean "flexible", which is a search I couldn't figure out how to do.

I guess my question is if it's wrong to tag "flexible" as "bendy" then why leave the tag open? If it's just a general tag with no implications it's going to be misused more than if it's a green tag. At least then people will be like "oh, I guess this tag is a character!" and change it, and I can guarantee if you tried aliasing it to "flexible" it's going to cause a lot more screw ups from people referencing the game character than this way.

It used to happen a long time ago but I'm not sure if it happens much now. Still, a disambig would be better than having to manually hunt down all the mistags.

-1. bendy is a common adjective, and is not synonymous with a specific character.

Yeah, so common. There's a reason they chose to name a character "Bendy" in a game set in an an old-timey period, because it's a weird, almost outdated word you don't hear a lot. It's like if a character's name was "swell" and you wanted to disambiguate because it can mean "good". Are there time-travelers from the year 1932 coming here to tag furry porn? "Let's see, well is is a bawdy broad here! I'll tag "swell" "bosoms" "bendy" "exposed_ankles" and "bee's_knees". That outta do it! Now mail this to the postman posthaste!"

As you can see here

I mean... I've often seen swell being used as a synonym for expansion/inflation in other places, so I don't feel your example is as solid as you think it is.

Seems pretty solid considering "swell" is currently a character tag.

It's been tagged a whopping three times and one of those contains inflation.

Yep, now imagine that tag was now the name of a popular game character, and a green tag with nearly 100 entries. Don't think anyone would confuse it in that case.

A popular character would have a lot more than 100 entries.

I think 100 entries is plenty popular. Even popular OCs struggle to reach that. Definitely mainstream at that point, and there's a reason we use 100 as the cutoff point for when a tag becomes locked.

There is also the possibility of users tagging swell instead of swelling and swollen. These should be aliased.

Are OCs ever mainstream?

Then start a new thread about it? Why hijack this one? Get outta here with that noise. I thought you knew how this site worked.
