Topic: Tag implication: living_emoji -> emoji

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I kinda get the concept here, but what is a living emoji? All of these already look alive to me: ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒฒ

There's obviously the Emoji Movie-style characters which are just emojis with arms and legs.

But then things like these are also tagged with living_emoji - if you were to crop it to just a headshot it would be functionally identical to ๐Ÿฑ. In that case would it still be a living_emoji or just an emoji?

I'm just not really sure the current wiki definition of "emoji which are given living form" is sufficient when the posts using the tag tag mostly use animal or human face emojis which depicted a living organism in the first place.

Yeah, I can see your point. I was mostly thinking of making art of characters like emoji_slut easier to find, but then I started applying it more broadly. I guess this is the sort of thing that needs differentiating tags in order to work. Dammit.
