Anyone want to comment on the neutral/down votes? This looks correct for the most part.

Looking at tag history, it's been tagged for wide variety of *_viewer, plus occasional generic first_person_view. So far it's mostly fit looking_at_viewer, since that tends to overlap. But nothing's stopping someone from tagging it for *_viewer where the other character(s) are looking somewhere else.
On the other hand, that's rare enough that the occasional mistag from this could be fine.

It is usually a better idea to alias rather than invalidate where possible so that we don’t have to worry about regularly cleaning up the tag, but this may not be used frequently enough to need that. In any case, I’ll edit the BUR to mass update to looking_at_viewer first since that seems correct for all of the current uses, and we can always still alias it later if that turns out to be the better course of action.
