(De|dis)qualify Hoshino Ai

Posted under Tags

BUR #30431 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias hoshino_ai_(oshi_no_ko) -> hoshino_ai
remove alias hoshino_ai_(oshi_no_ko) -> hoshino_ai

I'm not 100% sure about this one, there may be issues I'm not aware of, but...

As per forum #293892, it seems kind of silly to qualify Hoshino Ai (oshi no ko), a now 1928 post chartag from a popular series, because of hoshino_ai_(nature3111), a 7-post artist tag that before the aforementioned forum post hadn't had a new post in over 14 years. Given the discrepancy in popularity and the tags being different categories, I'd argue that the chance of confusion is extremely minimal and that there's no real value in having it be qualified.

No one was genuinely suggesting we qualify Mario, it was meant to point out how silly qualifying Ai is in comparison.

Builders have come up with insaner propositions tbh.

Mario or any other Nintendo characters seem to have a special treatment for being "iconic", hence why his tag remains unqualified despite plothera of other characters named "Mario" with more tagged post than Hoshino Ai the artist.

Hoshino Ai the character on the other hand.... Well she is well-known enough, and the only thing that made her getting qualfier at the first place is that one random inactive artist who just so happens to use the same name as her. I guess for now she could get a Mario treatment, so long as there are no other popular characters also named "Hoshimo Ai" that is.
