Pointless Pools

Posted under General

It has been posted here before, and I still think the pool is useless. No hair color is uncommon in anime, and naturally, the pubic hair is the same color as the head hair color.
Disregarding my opinion on this, there's no reason for this pool AND pool #1974 (Your Curtain Doesn't Match Your Carpet) to exist. At least one of the 2 can be deleted.

PS: A pub is a drinking establishment.

pool #737 is taggable, if we even think its worth tagging. Which I don't really buy. All pubic hair is, by definition, colored, unless you are an albino, but we'd count white pubic hair as colored anyway

pool #1974 is valid, it describes an interaction between two tags that is hard to search for directly (since there can be multiple girls in an image, with multiple different hair and pubic hair colors, which each match). It could be a tag, but it feels more like a pool concept to me.

Doing some pubic_hair + hair color searches, it seems a good number of images likely follow that hair color and pubic hair match. One could likely then use searches like blue_hair pubic_hair to find specific colors of pubic hair without needing a pool or specific tag. Of course it'd help even more if you could then do something like blue_hair public_hair -pool:1974 to remove then mismatched pubic hair, but it's still fairly accurate from what I've seen.

pool #2814 (Ganguro) and pool #2269 (Stupidly Good)
Empty because they've been turned into tags.

pool #2857 (Beyond Androgynous)
Just seems like trap and reverse trap.

pool #2928 (Brazilian ass)
Dat Ass! redux or redundant with Perfect Ass, take your pick.

pool #1527 (Alternate kanji readings)
Seems like a specific type of pun. Even if we want to delineate between the two it seems like it just as easily be a tag.

pool #591 (Lipstick)
Really, really needs a name change.

pool #1807 (Ginyu Force Pose) and pool #2250 (Full Body Tattoo)
Taggable concepts?

pool #2017 (We Raised Them Well)
Possibly workable, but not without a better description.

pool #2467 (Future Vision)
Basically just adult.

pool #367 (Melancholy Star)
lucky_star sad

pool #2214 (Is it in yet?)
I'm just not even sure what's supposed to be going on here. It might work, but the the only image in it seems to be in opposition to the description.

pool #1220 (I WANT YOU...) and pool #415 (Lucky Star OP - group shot parodies)
Motteke! Serafuku.

pool #1389 (Nagato Yuki Is Bad)
Just the Yuki posts in Unexpectedly evil.

pool #77 (JPEG Death Row)
We don't need this since we don't delete dupes anymore right?

pool #279 (Missing samples)
Does this happen anymore?

If it was made a tag, would perhaps a more general form "alternative_reading be better than the very specific "alternative_kanji_reading"?

Motteke! Serafuku.

It might still be worthwhile to retain one of those (more so pool #1220 than pool #415). Even though both are a parody of the same OP, what is actually depicted is quite different as they're both parodying different scenes from it and thus look nothing alike. A new tag could be made though instead as well, which would probably implicate Motteke! Serafuku.

Checked to here.

pool #2250 was converted to tag full_body_tattoo.

As for pool #1220 (I WANT YOU...) and pool #415 (Lucky Star OP - group shot parodies) I'm not really sure that the motteke!_serafuku tag is big enough to warrant the subdivisions, but they are at least well defined and visually consistent.

But we need a better name for 1220 at least. "I Want You" implies things beyond the LS scene.

Poses and recreations of scenes used to be tags (see ga_rune_pose or ghost_in_the_shell_lineup) but with the explosive proliferation of pools, people started using those instead. I'm not sure which is better, but tags are always easier to use.

Question about pool #2939 - Everybody hate Kyuubee.

I'm perfectly fine with keeping the pool, however considering the circumstances on why everyone hates Kyuubee, wouldn't this pool really be just one big spoiler to those who have not caught up to the anime, or even seen it?

I'm not sure how much of a spoiler it could be. To someone with no knowledge of the show, I'd think it'd very much just appear to be a very cruel meme of abuse of a "cute" magical animal. A lot of the images don't particularly seem to reference why they're abusing QB, just showing that they are abusing him. Those that would reference exactly why would end up tagged spoiler anyway.

I'm not sure what you think pools are for, but pool #1830 firmly fits under the proper usage for pools. It's a collection of images with a common theme put out by an artist. Even if we did unapprove the images, that would still not make the pool pointless and would still not warrant its removal.

I'm also not quite sure the necessity of motioning for unapproving them here. While I disagree with your opinion of the artist, you have a legitimate justification for putting them back into the queue and you have the power to do so, so there doesn't seem any necessity in coming here for reinforcement of your opinion. You should simply go ahead and unapprove them and let what happens happen.
