Topic: Tag alias: vixxie_(artist) -> thyvixie

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Seems like it should be the other way around, if anything. Although, "Vixxie" does sound common enough that it may conflict with other artists.

Normally, I'd say to flip as Vixxie appears to be their more current name, with Thyvixie limited to their FA (whose user names can't be changed, especially before nicknames were introduced) and their Discord.

However, Faucet has a good point. There's a few Vixxies, a couple Vixxys, Vixies, Vixys, and a few Vixis that are hard to filter out. At least Vixie_(artist) has yet to be tagged.

Thoughts?

I informed the artist of this thread, and the artist messaged me this on Bluesky:

> Thanks for doing that, the reason my artist tag is different is due to "vixxie" being pretty common, so added the thy. It's not ideal and im kinda hesitant to change anything, most know me as vixxie despite the commonness of the name x.x

I followed-up by asking why "thyvixie" instead of "thyvixxie" and they responded

> Insight is when I started doing art :p
> I've had those accounts for years but only started doing art regularly in late 2023.
> Would have done differently now, but back then didn't even consider people would actively look for my stuff

From what I can see so far, this is the tag the artist wants to use on e621 to make their artist tag more unique.
