Topic: Tag alias: girl_scouts -> girl_scout

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #67745 girl_scouts -> girl_scout is pending approval.

Reason: Per Discord discussion - girl_scouts is currently used as a copyright tag, but the vast majority of the content doesn't display any specific girl scout organization and instead just shows generic girl scouts that would fit just perfectly under the girl_scout tag.

The only post that actually fits the copyright is post #887078 (young warning) which contains the logo on the box - If that's even worth tagging, I think this would be better suited to be tagged as something along the lines of girl_scouts_of_america since it's less likely to be used for generic images of girl scouts and because there's hundreds of girl scout organizations around the world.

Is there a real difference between girl_scout and girl_scouts ?

DefinitelyNotAFurry4 — Today at 12:44
yeah
girl_scouts is the copyright
girl_scout is an actual girl scout
so girl_scouts would be used even if their branding was present in an image without any character
girl_scout is a character descriptor

girl_scout being an individual girl scout and girl_scouts being the actual organization perhaps?

I'd say both could probably be aliased together since girl_scouts doesn't seem to actually have any specific branding to it, and should really be something like girl_scouts_of_america since there's a lot of girl scout organizations around the world

yeah that's probably a better tag for the branding

nothing in the results for girl_scouts stands out to me as a specific brand of girl scouts, though admittedly I know nothing about the subject matter :dogkek:

well it only has 11 posts tbh

Note for approver: Remember to change the category from copyright to general before approving, or it'll make girl_scout a copyright tag.
