stuffed animals alias/imply->
plushie
stuffed animal and
plushies are already aliased to
plushie
On one hand, “plushies” could be unaliased and “stuffed animals” aliased to that, to be used only for multiples, because those are often a different context than just one (eg. the character collects lots of them, they’re all in a big cuddle puddle, etc.)
On a second hand, “stuffed animal” could be unaliased from “plushie” (and merely imply it) because someone might want to treat pony plushies/character plushies differently than general stuffed animal toys.
[edit] There’s
pony plush (34) which could also mark this distinction but it’s currently underutilized.
On the third hand, the status quo is to alias plurally-spelled tags into the singular, and of course as mentioned, “stuffed animal” is already aliased to “plushie”.
Bonus:
teddy bear imply->
plushie

Many, but not all
of these tags ought to imply “plushie” and in some cases also a relevant character, object or action.
