Deprecate H and X

Posted under Tags

BUR #29825 has been rejected.

deprecate h
nuke h

Yet another pointless Oldbooru leftover. This tag, simply titiled H seems to be applied to any instance of letter H in the image. But the tag is mainly used by Haruhi stuff (that is kinda pointless to make it a standalone tag because of that), in addition of being very frequently mistagged. So I think we should get rid of it.

Perhaps it shouldn't be deprecated, but rather just aliased to something that would closely resemble this character.

If x_(symbol) does gets a pass, how would people feel if these tags were implied to it?

I would be firmly against it since I think it would make x_(symbol) too broad and not as visually unified. Ideally I think only images like post #7792778 post #7911216 or post #7184541 where it is a large or important feature of the image should be tagged with it. The amount of x_hair_ornament in the tag already makes it a slog to find images with the X as a key feature.

Honestly I'd say "x" as a symbol is too broad of a tag. It could be the x-men symbol, it could be two bandaids crossed together, it could be the logo of a company, it could be "do not enter". Why do we need a tag for every time "x" appears anywhere and in any context in a picture? What utility does that give us?
