Topic: Tag Implication: street_lamp -> lamp

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Why is it street_lamp anyways? Is this the fricking 1800s? Does the lamplighter come out every night and light them? "OOOH it's Jacobson the ol' lamplighter, quick Rickard go give him a hapenny for his trials." I think street_light is the more modern way of saying it....but this is e621 and most of the aliases are stupid. If you give these guys the choice between like...a normal way of saying something, and a stupid way they will ALWAYS pick option 2.

Anyways...no...when I think of a lamp I think of this not this, and I see no reason to conflate them just because it's technically correct.

Denied. This wouldn't help searches much, if at all.

Do they still have those? Most street lights I've ever seen look more like this.

They have the ones I showed in some areas where they want things to look old-fashioned, but they are still electric. There are some in my town's historic district, but yeah the ones you showed are probably a better example, I was just trying to meet OP half-way.

doesnt this raise the question why we have a street_lamp or lamp tag in the first place? Maybe im just dumb but: are ther actually people searching EXPLICITLY for porn featuring a lamp in the image?

imagine this: someone wants to find specific image they saw some time ago but all they can remember is that there was a dog and and street lamps in it. searching for dog would bring thousands of results while searching dog street_lamp brings only 15 results. the street lamp tag narrows down the search results significantly and could make it possible to find the image they wanted to find.
