hime_cut implications

Posted under Tags

I'm not really sure on implicating the compound tag to its component tags when we might not be sure all the components are specifically taggable in every depiction.

Anyways, here are some oddity posts currently under the tag that either are mistagged or potentially serve as a representation of lacking a component. I'm not arguing these are "hime cut", but that they're tagged as such and do present most of the components except one.

I think all examples from topic #13449 should not be tagged hime cut. The same goes for most examples above.

I'm not sure about post #3920900 since you can have a hime cut but temporarily put the sidelocks behind the ears for example so they don't get in the way. It wouldn't stop being a hime cut but maybe it wouldn't be one for tagging purposes? post #1295735 might be similar.

As the Japanese Wikipedia mentions, the hime cut is a modern version of a traditional hairstyle. In the old days, having bangs hanging down on the forehead was for girls, while adult women usually had parted hair like in post #4172496, so that one also isn't a hime cut.

While I would argue that those taggers are wrong and that only a hairstyle containing all these elements should be tagged as hime cut a recent post in another thread reminded me that implications are not to create some kind of hierarchy of data, so since most correctly tagged hime cuts already have the other tags I think the implication doesn't really make searching easier. I will go through the hime cut posts some day and manually add missing tags.
