This means that any watermark that covers any portion of a character inside an image is considered obtrusive, even if it’s overly small or hardly noticeable. This does not really reflect the definition of obtrusive, which is:
To me, an obtrusive watermark is one that falls under one or more of the following:
-> Is extremely large and covers a significant portion of the image
-> Is noticeably opaque
-> Uses colors that contrast to the main image
Or any other way in which the watermark tends to draw attention away from the subject and onto the watermark itself. Simply overlapping slightly with the subject does not really strike me as obtrusive.
I think the bulk of this is caused by the “watermark” tag being aliased to “obtrusive watermark”, so that anything that has any watermark whatsoever is immediately obtrusive. I propose:

Currently the obtrusive watermark tag has the following description:
A watermark is obtrusive if it overlaps the subjects of an image; that is, it’s not a signature or stamp in the corner / edge, not a signature made to fit inside the image, but is simply a large stamp/pattern covering the image without respecting what’s within.
This means that any watermark that covers any portion of a character inside an image is considered obtrusive, even if it’s overly small or hardly noticeable. This does not really reflect the definition of obtrusive, which is:
noticeable or prominent in an unwelcome or intrusive way.

- Unaliasing “watermark” to “obtrusive watermark”
- Set both “Obtrusive watermark” and “watermark you can barely see” to imply “watermark”
- Change the description of “obtrusive watermark” to “any watermark that is overly distracting from the core subject, such as covering, blocking, or detracting from a large portion of the image”
