Reason: It has come to my attention that there has been some confusion around this particular character tag, which was originally split off from stella_(gvh) to represent the version of the character found in snoot game. However, it seems that this is just because the character’s design was changed sometime between the beta and the final release of the game, and the version that snoot game uses is simply based on the earlier beta version of the character as opposed to being an original creation. As such, any artwork of this beta version of Stella may not have anything to do with snoot game, as it may just be fan art of the original art, either because the artwork predates the final version of the character, or because the artist simply preferred that design. Therefore, suffixing the character’s tag with (snoot_game) is factually incorrect as the character did not originate from snoot game, but rather from the GVH beta.
This seems to have resulted in a large number of mistags - users tagging snoot_game on posts featuring stella_(snoot_game) which otherwise don’t actually contain any content specific to snoot game. My aim is to prevent any future mistags by removing the association between the beta version of Stella and snoot game, and giving the new tag the proper GVH implication instead, as snoot_game (per the wiki) should only be tagged when content that is completely original to snoot game is found in the post, as opposed to repurposed GVH content, as is the case here.
Also a disclaimer: I know very little about either of these games outside of what I’ve learned from tagging and some internal discussions about the tagging of these posts, so if there’s something more I should know, or if there’s a more accurate name for this character tag, please let me know.
