The bulk update request #3380 is pending approval.

create alias pred_point_of_view (9) -> pred_pov (28)
create alias prey_point_of_view (0) -> prey_pov (647)
create implication pred_pov (28) -> first_person_view (80081)
create implication prey_pov (647) -> first_person_view (80081)

Reason: The first two tags are redundant and *_pov is the preferred formatting for these kinds of tags

The second pair of tags inherently describe a first person perspective and should implicate first person view, similar to dominant pov or leashed pov

I definitely agree with the two aliases. However, regarding the implications, I'm curious of your thoughts on a comment made in the e621 Discord:

...I don't outright see a reason why every tag with the _pov tag has to conform with first_person_view. Those tags don't [necessarily] imply the tag, and it is sometimes semi_pov.

I think _pov tags should be for first_person_view-based views, similar to how _position tags are for sex positions. prey_pov would then be for the point-of-view of a prey character, which would implicitly be first-person. The more general _view or _viewer tags would be for general views not from a particular character's POV.

Echoing Watsit slightly here, *_pov tags should inherently imply first person view, however, I think semi pov is a valid concept, but it is a niche, it shouldn't prevent other *_pov tags from implying first_person_view

That satisfies me! I have upvoted the BUR. :)

I shall just have to remember that if there should ever be a semi pov vore picture, it should be tagged neither pred_pov nor prey_pov.
