not surprisingly, art featuring children getting killed get down voted a lot because a lot of people find it upsetting, that said, should the Child Murder tag be an Implication or Alias of the killing tag?

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

Assuming there's no better tag, this would imply snuff and young at the least.
If this tag is for all instances of children dying, it should imply death, not snuff. Snuff is for sexualized death
Also maybe we should call it young_death instead of child_murder? Would make it more clear that babies and toddlers would qualify too. And replacing murder with death would mean any cause of death would qualify. Unless we specifically want it to be just for murder

Given how often that tag is used for actual murder, hmm... Following usual trend, we'll get a murder tag and young_death tag to replace child_murder, infanticide, and so on? Not 100% sure an alias would make sense but that's the path it would probably go. :shrugs:
Murder and young both tend to be downvoted a lot by themselves anyway. Showing any type of gore/ killing/ murder is almost guaranteed to get downvotes.
