Question, why is it that there are no "Mule" tags, it's automatically changed to "Donkey"?

wow mules so awesome can't wait to draw furry porn of those beautiful and intresting animals /(sarcasam)

maybe there's no images of mules because their boring animals like who gives a fuck about horse donkey looking Freddy-freakers

If I remember right, it was aliased because most people were using them interchangably (both taggers and artists) which caused a lot of inconsistencies in usage. Since mules are a type of donkey, but not vice versa, donkey was chosen for both roles.

I am assuming here but most likely this was done because the general public kept tagging donkeys as mules.

You could try for dealiasing but I struggled to find more then a few posts that were clearly a mule rather then a donkey, so I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.

Besides, though cant find it at the moment but I seem to remember reading that all hybrids are tagged as both(/all) animals and the hybrid tag so if it is a mule I guess it should be tagged horse donkey and hybrid anyways.
Might need a confirm from staff on that though.

Edit// spent too much time researching and parasprite had already answered so ignore me pls

Maybe an implication should be made to rarity_(mlp)?
