Pointless Pools

Yuyuko's kind of a special case, enough so that I'm hesitating at least. Ikamusume's a squid and you can tell so from appearance. Same for takoluka. Yuyuko doesn't appear to be a ghost.

There's bound to be some metaknowledge required with that tag just by it's nature, though. Depending on how well her hair is drawn Ikamusume could just look like a girl with a silly hat, and Aya doesn't always have wings. Yuyuko does technically wear the triangular headpiece that's suppose to signify she's a ghost; it's just not recognized very well by most Danbooru users.

She's kinda special, but not special enough.

pool #3882 Touhou - Flexible Yoshika
It's been mentioned a couple weeks ago in the thread but there wasn't much said about it. It's a pointless pool for only one character, and not only does -zombie_pose find all the images that would go under the pool, stiff Yoshika is what's drawn less frequently as it's awkward and silly looking and is limiting for what most artists want to draw.

pool #4347 - Ears off!

I don't think it's worth keeping if there's only one post in the pool... I'm pretty sure it can be tagged, too.

Something like no_animal_ears might work for that. There are already tags like no wings.

Seems like a ghost_eating tag might do the job. There may be a better name for it.

"Excessive pussy juice"? I think it counts as legit pool usage.

Oh yeah I totally agree! Let's go make an Excessive cock milk pool too while we're at it! Oh not just that, let's even go beyond that and make an excessive urine pool. Maybe excessive bodily fluids!!!! Holy shit I'm the Strongest!

I'm not saying it's my favorite pool, I'm just saying it's not as pointless as it might seem. There is the pussy_juice tag for any amount of it, and then the pool for large quantities of it.

Maybe it _should_ be generalized to "all instances of excessive body fluids".

I think you've confused what I was talking about in my post. Sorry for not being more clear.

When I was talking about character gags I was responding to the post that would've been above me from the last page talking about pool #4717 Touhou - No one reads the paper, not the crossover (or parody) pool. I figured that pool was self explanatory so I just left a tag search for good measure.

pool #2555 - Touhou - Tatara Kogasa - Surprise!
Use tatara_kogasa surprised instead.
Yes, I know that this will also show images of her being surprised, but we don't make pools for "character x wearing thighighs", or "character x being dominant in bed". The tag search is sufficient.

pool #4639 - Touhou - Youkai Extermination Sanae
Way to take it too far.
Images of Sanae
with crazy eyes (post #1052560)
with her being creepy (post #568866)
with yandere_trance meme (post #1038188)
with blood in the image (post #419014)
with her being a jerk (post #472644)
with her bullying (post #1002447)
and other random themes (violence, unexpectedly evil pool, etc).
Please save us the trouble of trying to moderate this.

It's ridiculous how every touhou character gets their own pool lately. (Aya even has 2, Yukari has 3)
Edit: Kyubey has 4 whole pools

Reminder (pools mentioned earlier that are still here for some reason):
pool #3882 - Flexible Yoshika
pool #4169 - Touhou - The Yakumo Family
pool #4440 - Touhou - The Moriya Family
pool #2459 - Panty & Stocking - In-Style Erotica
pool #3160 - Muscle girls
pool #4347 - Ears off!
pool #4665 - Powerful Penis
pool #4025 - Masturbating at the Computer
pool #4666 - Pale Skin, Pink Areola
Reasons are in the original posts. (in the forum search, enter the pool number)
I'd like to see some good arguments for keeping them.

Edit:
pool #4183 - Based
I though we had a tag for this. If not, we should create one.
