Just stumbled...

Between those duo, which should the Danbooru Community choose?

Definitely looks like something objective enough for a tag.

Replacing pool #3026 (You're the Last Person I Want to Hear That From!) with hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is a pretty straightforward concept and irony is already a tag.

I feel it'll need some cleaning up as a tag, then. Using the very first image in the pool as an example, Aya being a hypocrite for complaining about being perverted is entirely subjective based on the fanon created idea of her being a voyeur, and completely lacks such context when considering canon and the image by itself. Another example is multiple instances of Cirno calling someone else stupid, as hypocrisy is a conscious decision to act in a way contrary to one's words, and it doesn't count as hypocrisy if you're too dumb to know you're dumb.

My point is, "You're the last person I want to hear that from" is not strictly always a matter of someone being a hypocrite.

mass update pool:16429 -> -pool:16429

Pools are for posts that are either part of a series or which share a unifying theme. This pool ("Danbooru GET") is neither. Just like the long-gone "Swimming in the Pools" and "Tag Panic" pools, it's based entirely on meta information from Danbooru's gallery. We don't do that anymore.

Judging from the pool's history... @Kikimaru, allow me to repeat the above.
