create alias neck_bow_(anatomy) (168) -> neck_bow (1736)

Reason: I'm working on a giant group of BURs to cover all bow tags, because they're a mess, but I want to get this one out of the way because... Seriously?

These tags serve zero purpose. They're only ever used on Sylveons. I don't understand how these aren't just... bows. There's no visual difference. I could at the very least see bow_(anatomy) staying, but the others are just silly.

Edit: The bow wiki says "anatomy bows should be kept out of accessory tags...", but this was added by a user whose tagging choices are infamously questionable (and also responsible for a good number of things being dealt with in other threads...)

Removed bow_(anatomy), it's probably fine on second thought. The others are the ones I really have gripes with.

*bow_(anatomy) -sylveon Hmm, not that many.
post #2099452 Bow hair, hair bow, these are the same thing, right? :trollface:
post #996110 Hmm, a literal bow tie as part of their anatomy.

I was sure there were some non-Sylveon uses, but the uses were mostly Sylveon, so I exaggerated.

I just don't understand how two_tone_bow_(anatomy) would ever be a useful tag distinct from two_tone_bow. A bow is a bow.

(Also to be clear, part of my big BUR is that I don't think any of the [location]_bow tags should imply bow_ribbon or [location]_ribbon to begin with because bows aren't inherently ribbons. I can bring that up here too if the current accessory implication chain is an issue.)

The bulk update request #6444 has been rejected.

remove implication hair_bow (31498) -> hair_ribbon (34873)
remove implication hair_bow (31498) -> bow_ribbon (47319)
remove implication horn_bow (208) -> horn_ribbon (273)
remove implication horn_bow (208) -> bow_ribbon (47319)
remove implication tail_bow (4431) -> tail_ribbon (5523)
remove implication tail_bow (4431) -> bow_ribbon (47319)
remove implication penis_bow (640) -> penis_ribbon (1045)

Reason: Actually, here, let me propose this in this thread, if the concern is that the ear_bow, hair_bow tags currently imply accessory through the ribbon implications...

Bows are not inherently ribbons. These are not ribbons:

post #2099452 This is just part of the hair.
post #3177315 This is a headband.
post #1904169 The black bow here is just a hairclip.

A hair bow could also be fabric attached to a hair elastic or scrunchie.

Part 2:

imply hair_bow -> bow_(feature)
imply horn_bow -> bow_(feature)
imply tail_bow -> bow_(feature)
imply penis_bow -> bow_(feature)

----

Also, how do you know via TWYS that these hair bows are part of the character's body?

And how do you know these are bow_(anatomy):

While these aren't?:

I think it'd be better to alias them all to bow_(anatomy), if these are going to be aliased.

I'm not against this either, though I still do question how easily you can tell via TWYS whether a bow is a part of the character's anatomy or an accessory, particularly on ferals.

IMO i think it's a little unnecessary for bow colors. bow locations would be more important and colors are just superfluous

There's already precedent for this situation. Check the wiki for pseudo_clothing.
The tag should be pseudo_bow for bows that are clearly part of the anatomy, like those squids.
post #2099452
If it isn't clearly a part of the anatomy, like with most sylveons, then it's not twys and should be tagged like a regular bow.
Before anyone argues that bows aren't clothing: neither is pseudo_clothing, necessarily. It already includes pseudo_scarf via implication, despite scarves not implicating clothing.

The bulk update request #6449 is pending approval.

create alias bow_(anatomy) (666) -> pseudo_bow (0)
create implication pseudo_bow (0) -> bow_(feature) (42603)

Reason: Proposing based on the above reply?
