Animal Print Implications

Posted under Tags

Half these tags should be nuked or aliased away, the same way we nuked serval ears/serval tail and all the other Kemono Friends tags that were almost exclusively used by a single character.

aardwolf print: Only used by Aardwolf. What does aardwolf print even look like? Nobody would know if it weren't for the Kemono Friends character.
sand cat print: Only used by Sand Cat.
serval print: Only used by Serval, looks nearly the same as leopard/cheetah/jaguar print.
jaguar print: Nearly indistinguishable from leopard print.
cheetah print: Technically distinct from leopard print in real life, but in practice used interchangeably.
shark print: Mostly just Gura's hoodie. Why should a hoodie with a shark bite be tagged fish print?

BUR #36487 is pending approval.

create alias jaguar_print -> leopard_print
create alias cheetah_print -> leopard_print

Jaguar print and cheetah print are too big to mass update/outright nuke and not expect them to be recreated based on canon tagging rather than what they look like so these could be aliased away to help with searching as above.

In terms of shark_print -gawr_gura: with a page size of 40, the only posts I could find that had a shark pattern were post #8366619, post #7711297, post #7015485 and post #6939875. The rest tagged with shark print are just a single picture of a shark. Sometimes it's confusing for me to remember if we use print tags for patterns, symbology or both.

I won't pretend like I know enough about the other tags or what would be suitable replacements to even make any proposals on them.
