Starlicorn should not imply xk-class end-of-the-world scenario

Background Pony #2007

Probably. But like I said removing the implication would probably help with that. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if there were people who insist on adding the tag even without the implication but that would be a separate issue entirely.

Oh, I’m sorry - I misunderstood what you were trying to say.
A bit late to respond, but thank you for that. I’m sorry as well if I wasn’t as clear as I could have been. I always try to make my statements as clear as possible, and pick my words carefully, but it’s still remarkably easy to confuse people with what you think is a clear point when limited to text alone.

it’s an entirely pointless argument, and one that actually works against removing the implication because it maintains that it’s an equally poor reason to dislike the implication because you like the character.
I agree. Liking or disliking a character should not be a factor in regards to what tags are associated with them. That’s one of the many reasons why it wasn’t an argument I made.

God, you miss a lot when you go to work…
 
Not even going to try to respond to everything said in the meantime, but just to reiterate my opinion, the tag being added to images I’m fine with, being an official implication is contrary to how most fun tags/alicorn tags work. Unless someone wants more out of me, that’s all I’ve got to say on it.

Looking For My Doctor
@Background Pony #BD0D  
Thats true, and as Mister Rogers always said, everyone has their own inner drama. For myself, I have to admit I’m coming here with my own personal drama, having just spent the time I’d set aside to help artists instead cleaning up the mess someone made when they went through and unilaterally decided to remove this tag from a bunch of images, as well as a half dozen OTHER tags that people all of a sudden started fighting over on 6 year old images.
 
I just really want people to stop tag warring, or reversing staff tagging changes without even talking to us. When that happens for the third or fourth time, it gets frustrating. Especially when people are reversing tags the artist’s themselves have set, and the artists start complaining on Twitter about how we aren’t cracking down hard enough on the people who won’t stop changing tags even after we and the artists ask them to stop (which very well could be a valid criticism - maybe we do talk to people too much and use warnings when we should be banning people, but that’s a different discussion).
 
We’ve had enough of that happening today. I hope we don’t have any more of it for a few hours. Not least of which because I still haven’t caught up with the artist requests today :(

Only the faithful
There are at least 11 pages of pinkiecorn pics going back 7 years, all bearing the end of the world tag. For all that time, people have been in on the joke, even if they weren’t laughing.
 
Now Starlight finds herself at the end of a similar joke and suddenly we’re considering overturning a derpi tradition that’s lasted almost a decade to satiate one or two overprotective fans? Because if the implication is removed from starlicorn, it should be removed from pinkiecorn as well.
 
Or, people could use their filters like they’re so often told to do so when complaining about a pic or character they don’t like and we go about our buisness as usual.

Tradition isn’t a reason to keep status quo. If it were we’d still have the “upvotes galore” tag among others.
 
And that doesn’t even make sense, I’m not going to filter content I like and want to see.

  1. While not everyone who disagrees with the implication shares the same reasoning, I take it in exactly the tag-based way I would look at any of these. Starlight herself has nothing to do with it. I don’t think the tag should be removed, I think the implication should be removed. If you would want it to be on a “starlicorn” image, all you’d have to do is add it, it’s just a silly tag after all.  
  2. Tradition by itself is rarely the sole decision in the matter of tags.  
  3. Does an opinion not “count” because it’s coming from someone who likes the character? There are at least two users in the thread who don’t like Starlight, do they not get to have a say in this discussion because of it? That would be ridiculous.  
  4. I do agree it should be removed from “pinkiecorn” as well, yes.  
  5. I’m not sure how filters figure into this? It’s a discussion of implications.

Except no one said they don’t like the tag, we don’t like the fact that it’s basically forced onto every Starlicorn image even if it doesn’t belong on it in the first place. And like Nameless said, filtering the tag would require filtering images we want to see which doesn’t make sense.

I’m a Starlight fan and I think it’s hilarious. That said, it probably doesn’t need to have the tag implication applied to it.

Implications should generally not be used for things that are common but not very very close to 100%, because they cause mistagging. Jokes are funnier when they’re used a bit sparingly.
 
I missed this thread until just now and removed both implications because they were brought up in relation to a proposed implication that would follow the same joke.  
(FINALE SPOILERS): If the joke implication was added to the third then there would’ve been mistagging over the past week. It’s a bad idea to have joke tag implications on things the show could do under the belief only joking fanart will do them.

This. Nobody did anything yet cause were all talking about it. And now we have someone just thanking it because that was all they wanted.

So pinkiecorns implication is still a thing. But not starlicorns? No pinkie fans are rallying against her implication because they can take a fucking joke.
 
Ever since starlight’s introduction that joke has been there. Now it’s gone because you caved to a few whiners.  
People who expliciley defied mods and removed tags to get their own way.
 
If that’s how you want it fine  
But I’d focus on fixing this websites bugs that everyone is complaining about before destroying a tradition only a few are.

What we’re gonna see now, is mass removal of the end of the world tag from all existing starlicorn pics. It’ll happen slowly, over weeks or months but the removal of the implication will be seen as permission to do so, whether or not this is the case.
 
Users who add the tag to new pics will be reported for doing so and will find themselves receiving warnings from mods.

I’m thinking having Starlight be the topic of discussion is a red herring.
 
People see ‘starlight’ and ‘remove’ and it must be some Starlight fanboys whining about something. Never could it be in the tagging forum that people have grievances with an aspect of the tags and be given the benefit of the doubt it was without bias. Must be about Starlight.
 
Thinking the implication should remain? Fine interpretation. But why some are trying to make this a fight about Starlight and her fans is irritating.
