Aliasing alien_girl → alien
Link to alias

Reason:

Unnecessarily gendered tag, suggesting an alias to main alien tag

+1. Similarly, suggesting the following aliases:

• bee_girl → bee
• bug_girl → insect
• candy_girl → living_candy
• dragon_girl → dragon
• elephant_girl → elephant
• ghost_girl → ghost
• lickitung_girl → lickitung
• moth_girl → moth
• mushroom_girl → fungi_fauna
• piranha_plant_girl → piranha_plant

+1 on alien girl, ghost girl and candy girl, others are too small (or empty) to be worth it.

I'm second guessing the various "animal"_girl suggestions, because many existing examples don't alias to "animal" but to "animal"_humanoid. For example, wolf_girl and bat_girl respectively alias to wolf_humanoid and bat_humanoid, not to wolf and bat.

I'm pretty sure that ghost_girl is usually used as a character tag for the female ghost from Night of the Werehog.

Her name's pretty vague imho, perhaps it should be changed to ghost_girl_(sonic)? Or something more specific like that.

That way, it's explicitly a character tag and not seen as or mistaken for a gendered species tag

It appears that now she actually has a character tag, "lah". Seems like user Palette started adding the tag to posts, umm... a few years ago now. Since then it looks like any of the posts containing the character uploaded with ghost_girl are already also tagged with lah.

I guess that there's not actually a problem aliasing ghost_girl away.

Some of those sound like monster girls, which are generally animal humanoid.

And I still don't know if those should be tagged as the base species. I mean, does this really look like...

Might be good to alias them to their respective *_humanoid tags in those cases then maybe? Like dragon_girl to dragon_humanoid, etc

In some other cases it might be good for a base species alias, like with goo_creature (goo_boy, goo_girl, etc aliased to the base goo_creature)

Imho it might be good to alias them on a case by case basis to whatever it seems they're mistakenly used the most for.
