(Probably not) Spoilers Blue Archive Implication Request

Posted under Tags

BUR #16565 has been rejected.

create implication <key>_(blue_archive) -> aris_(blue_archive)

As the wiki says, it's literally just Aris but with pink eyes instead of blue, the only image not tagged with Aris as well is post #6209026 which I assume is a mistake. I wasn't sure if this is considered a spoiler or not (the part that mentions the above is not marked as such in the wiki) but a bunch of posts with <key> are tagged as such.

IIRC Key lost her body (to be vague about it since specifics are unnecessary), but later they created a new one for her, which is the little robot.

I support the <key>_(robot) suggestion since visually they have nothing in common.

I don't feel that implication's useful. I highly doubt anyone searching for <key>_(blue_archive) is looking for the robot.

Moreover, it will mean just about every single properly tagged picture of aris_(maid)_(blue_archive) will also be tagged <key>_(blue_archive), which will make it literally impossible to search for pictures of Maid Aris and non-robot Key together. (Edit: This is already difficult to do because people have been tagging the proposed implication manually and inconsistently, so the tags need to be cleaned up, but I think one ought to be able to find images like post #6247694 via chartags.)

I think we should look to precedents like barbatos (genshin impact) and rex lapis (genshin impact) which aren't implicated to their humanoid forms, though those have the confounding factor of being bigger spoilers than Robot Key are.

Updated

I've updated the wikis.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a good way to advise users on how to use the tag, without spoiling anyone who looks at the wikis while not already aware of Key's robot form.
We could spoiler tag it like on the Genshin Impact characters' wiki pages, but I'm not sure it's a big enough deal to warrant that.
This whole thing feels trivial with plana (blue archive) also being an unavoidable spoiler.

If there are no last minute objections, I'll go through and remove the <key> (blue archive) tag from all images that only contain <key> (robot) (blue archive) in a couple of days.
