Fire Emblem implications

Posted under Tags

At this point I think we'd be better off getting rid of the Byleth/Robin/etc umbrella tags and renaming the characters to Male Byleth/Female Byleth. That would at least cut down on the number of qualifiers and implications per tag.

It would go from:

to:

The only reason to have these umbrella tags is so that people can search for both versions at the same time, and because sometimes in rare cases you can't tell if it's the male or female version of the character. But in reality most of the time people are just looking for the female version even when they're searching for the umbrella tag. Cases where the gender is ambiguous can be handled the same way we handle Male/Female Ritsuka from Fate: by taking your best guess based on context, or by tagging both if you truly can't tell.

The thing is, there is some instance where Robin's gender cannot be identified like in this post #1371254, where they wear their hood on their head and I can't identify whether they're the male or the female version.

BUR #37471 has been approved by @evazion.

rename edelgard_von_hresvelg_(adult) -> edelgard_von_hresvelg_(post_timeskip)
create implication bernadetta_von_varley_(sheltered_loner) -> bernadetta_von_varley
create alias bernadetta_von_varley_(sheltered_loner) -> bernadetta_von_varley_(post_timeskip)

As mentioned previously, I feel like "_(post_timeskip)" is a better qualifier since some of the characters are already 18 or older at the beginning of the game. It's also what the FE fandom wiki is using, for example.

I'd much rather that A: these timeskip and male/female BURs were made in their own topics, and B: the qualifier was just _(timeskip). _(post_timeskip) is redundant and looks ugly.
