The tag alias #61771 voice_actor_joke -> voice_actor_reference has been rejected.

Reason: Because it's not always jokes, right? This tag has characters dressed up another character with the same VA, not really intended as a joke but more like "isn't it neat these two characters have the same actor?" I feel like classifying the tag as a reference over a joke would be more true to its current use.

Bump; trying this one again

At first I thought it meant literally joking about/referencing a voice actor. Or a voice actor making a joke/reference. It's not obvious it's intended for a character cosplaying another, and that they happen to have the same voice actor in some language.

I could also see this tag being a problem in some cases where two apparently different characters having the same voice actor is a plot point of sorts, and could be considered spoilery.

Attempt to revive this with a bump?

^ I don't see that Legendz example as relevant/having the tag in the first place, and I think it still comes from a misconception about what the tag is/how it's used. Which is why it needs a rename.
