Topic: [REJECTED] Blahaj is not a character

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #4692 has been rejected.

change category blahaj (460) -> general

Reason: For those unfamiliar, blahaj is a specific model of shark plushie sold by Ikea. It's gone a bit viral.

In almost all the posts tagged blahaj it's an inanimate object, I only noticed two where it was an anthrofied living plush. I think a general tag is more appropriate than character.
Or alternatively, maybe a copyright tag? Any thoughts? If it does become a copyright tag, should it imply meme since it's sort of a meme? I can't tell if it's really appropriate for the meme tag or not

*before anyone says this is unecessary because it's the close enough to shark plushie, this is a specific, easily identifiable design that people might want to search for

EDIT: The bulk update request #4692 (forum #364194) has been rejected by @Cloudpie.

i don't like the idea of shoving blahaj into the general catagory, copyright or species maybe, but the blahaj feels too special interest and distinctive in it's design for general

i'm personally fine with it staying as a character tag, but the next best catagory would be species like how the similar meme-status fictional creature squirmle or furby_(species) are all species

edit: not entirely sure why there's a difference between furby (a copyright tag) and furby_(species) (a species tag)
