Topic: [REJECTED] Tag implication: faggot_pride_colors -> invalid_tag

It is, shockingly, tagged correctly on this image
post #4827426

The colors of the bow are accurate to the first flag listed here https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/F*ggot
So it has a valid use. However, this use might be too obscure (there are a LOT of pride colors/flags- is it worth having one-post tags for a lot of the obscure ones?) and the name might invite bad behavior. Also, would pride_colors be a better target for the alias?

I see that lone image has several created and isolated tags by itself
You could effectively remove the use of faggot_pride_colors, and any others on that image, just by removing the offending tags from it
The tags would technically still exist but being one of a million unused tags ultimately accomplishes the same goal (except for Janitors who probably have to scrub dead tags from the server)

I don't think single-use tags are inherently bad or useless, and they aren't unprecedented either. I personally think identity/pride colors are one of the more okay cases of single/low use tags compared to like, subspecies and extremely-specific sex positions. But it's not something I feel strongly about beyond 'probably wait to get a few more opinions before deleting those tags.'

Tags exist forever, no one can delete them

I agree on single-use, I was just throwing that concept out there for people
