[Arknights] Separate tag for child Amiya?

Posted under Tags

BUR #35175 is pending approval.

rename amiya_(child)_(arknights) -> amiya_(young)_(arknights)
create implication amiya_(young)_(arknights) -> amiya_(arknights)

There is a lot of arts with Amiya during her childhood (from "Babel" event and a bit of chapter 14). She has a notably different outfit and a distinct place in story as a child so I think it makes sense to create a separate tag for her. We already have amiya_(act_2)_(arknights)

I've already uploaded official arts (post #8658881 and post #8658889)

IIRC, the c-word is not welcomed here, so we use alternative qualifiers instead (shigure_ui_(vtuber)_(young), shun_(small)_(blue_archive), etc.)
I'd prefer something like _(babel) maybe.

Just want to point out that we use shun (small) (blue archive) because that's what she's called in the official EN translation. We use the EN names for most BA things. If she had been called (child), which she is in Japanese, we would have been forced to use that regardless of our issues with the word.

Also, we do still have child, so it's not like the word is taboo. You can say the word "child". We just try to avoid using it in NSFW contexts as much as possible. I'm not sure if there's a particular reason Ui's qualifier is (young) but I doubt there's an actual issue with using (child) for little Amiya.

Technically, we do have an increasing precedent to avoid using 'child' in contexts like this since topic #23992, as we've had several BURs since then which changed the qualifier used from 'child' to 'young' or another synonym, due to comparative ambiguity (as there's a higher chance for chartags to be used for NSFW), which exceptions only given if the original material itself refers to it as 'child' (like with Shun being 'Small'). The (child) tags which exist right now are Fire Emblem tags that were made after those BURs were made, and, of course, this tag.

I missed that thread. In that case, I would prefer (young) as the qualifier. (Small) is a really strange choice for identifying a change in apparent age imo.
