Renaming Yorumi Rena's younger form

Posted under Tags

BUR #17053 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

rename peorth_(child) -> peorth_(young)
rename tezcatlipoca_(child)_(fate) -> tezcatlipoca_(young)_(fate)
rename walter_sullivan_(child) -> walter_sullivan_(young)
rename yorumi_rena_(child) -> yorumi_rena_(young)

I don't think it's a good idea to keep the current tag name, especially since at least half of the posts are varying degrees of NSFW. As said in forum #228498:

It's unacceptable to have this kind of content be anywhere near a tag called "child", both for payment processors (if we had any right now) and hosting providers.

I know from forum #228601 that shun_(small)_(blue_archive) is an alias of a similarly problematic tag. We should do something similar for this tag.

I'm requesting a rename instead of an alias because it would probably be best if the current tag didn't exist at all. I'd imagine it would have been done with Shun's younger form if she weren't in as many posts as she is.

Thanks. Now I just have the two original BURs.

Why not go with (young) as the qualifier for Yorumi Rena (child), Peorth (child), Walter Sullivan (child), Tezcatlipoca (Child) (Fate), Shun (small) (Blue Archive) and Ilya (small) (Princess Connect!)? Unlike either (small) or (child), (young) as a qualifier is used way more frequently, and has precedent in being used not just for teens and young adults, but also for child-like variants of characters, with Tiki (young) (Fire Emblem), Fujiwara no Mokou (young), and Yakumo Yukari (young).

In Shun's case, it should be noted that "Shun (Small)" is the character alt's official name on global, though I wouldn't argue that we absolutely need to conform to such things, nor that the qualifier should be universally applied because of a single character in one gacha game.

I can see (Young) being a more appropriate qualifier in some cases, such as Lee Sooyeon's alternate form without the eyepatch (though that particular character will probably never have enough posts that there's much need to separate her two alts.)

I didn't know (young) was more common. I agree it makes more sense to use it. I'll update the BURs once more, but I'll just be adding Tezcatlipoca (Child) (Fate) since their purpose is not to create a consistent naming scheme, but to replace (child) with something less risky.
