remove implication dakimakura_pillow (426) -> dakimakura_design (5353)

Reason: As the name suggests, dakimakura_design should mean "design" not an object in an image.

What's the difference between a dakimakura pillow and a body_pillow?

A dakimakura pillow is just a body_pillow with a character printed on it (or rather, printed on the pillow case).

^{抱き枕 (dakimakura) is literally just Japanese for "body pillow", but in the English-speaking world, we use it for this more specific usage.}

So isn't the current implication correct? Every dakimakura pillow will necessarily have a design on it, which is then necessarily a dakimakura design. If it doesn't have a design, it's not a dakimakura pillow.

As I cuwwently see it, the design tag shouwd be fow images whewe the whowe image is a dakimuwa_design, nyot fow images which contain a design somewhewe in the image. So post #4269372 gets excwuded and post #621352 is incwuded

It wouwd awso be nyice to be abwe to seawch fow dakimuwa_designs whewe the chawactew is howding a dakimuwa_piwwow

Fair enough, I can understand that.

Even with the 'daki as object' thing you have images where the design is prominent or important to the image or the specific design looks identifiable if it was referenced or pasted in.

Then you have stuff like this where the design is an afterthought:

should dakimakura_design be meta category too, then?

I guess yes.

With body pillow design tag existing, I am questioning what exactly is the difference between dakimakura pillow/design and body pillow (design)

dakimakura should also probably be unaliased from dakimakura design since dakimakura design no longer functions as a catchall with the implication removed.

remove alias dakimakura (5813) -> dakimakura_design (5353)

Reason: Given above.

Should we disambiguate or move to the invalid category afterwards? Leaning towards moving it to invalid category, it's an incomplete tag

Seems wike body pillow design is used in the same way as dakimakura_design.

What if dakimakura_design and dakimakura_pillow both implied dakimakura as an umbrella tag? That way people searching for just dakimakura would still get results

That could work.

create implication dakimakura_design (5353) -> dakimakura (5813)
create implication dakimakura_pillow (426) -> dakimakura (5813)
remove alias daki (0) -> dakimakura_design (5353)

Reason: My above suggestion of using dakimakura as an umbrella tag for these two, so searching it returns all daki related images

After:
alias daki -> dakimakura
