The tag alias #75363 pink_fox -> pink_body is pending approval.
Reason: Not all examples are identifiably foxes, and even if they were a combinatorial tag explosion like yellow_sheep or purple_gardevoir just isn't worth it.

Other [color]_[species] tags in the past have all aliased to the species rather than the color, ex. black_fox, blue_fox, brown_fox
Not to say we can't change that if desired, but ideally we'd flip all the rest too
I am partial to having them all flipped

I'm fine with prioritizing the body color over the species, personally. A lot of species will just naturally look like each other.

Yeah this. Someone is (probably) still stuck finding a post because they got the species wrong

Bringing this back up for discussion and providing a list of tags for easy implementation.
Methodology/Notes
- I'd think users are more likely to remember body colors rather than species when it comes to this kind of art, and colors are a smaller category to begin with. We don't have crimson_scales or scarlet_fur, for instance, but we do have tibetan_sand_fox, ezo_red_fox, etc.
- If something like green_fox returns a bunch of green characters and the user isn't happy about it, the next step is to add fox to the query. I think this is probably going to be a lot easier to grasp than adding green_body, green_fur, green_hair, etc., especially since using green_body instead allows us to include characters with non-fur body coverings: scales, slime, etc.
- green basilisk, red fox, red panda, brown bear, black bear, etc. remain where they are: these are species names, not assessments of the character's color; A red fox is a red fox even if they're black due to melanism.
- there are some terms like "yellow labrador" which are assessments of coat color, but at the same time they're broader than typical usage: while an obsidian-colored labrador is a black labrador (makes sense to me!), a fox-colored labrador is a yellow labrador. At the same time, somebody searching for such a character would probably have better luck with orange_body labrador.
- red oni, blue oni remain where they are because the color is basically a property of their species: red oni are supposed to be hotheads, blue oni are supposed to be more cool. Also, nobody's tried to establish anything like green_oni or yellow_oni yet.
- black_dog gets a pass for similar reasons to the oni.
- black human, white human, etc. can probably remain where they are. It would be really weird to try and conflate colors with races.
