Topic: [APPROVED] Tag implication: dropout_bear -> kanye_west

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This is kinda weird, because Kanye is also a person. Usually people (even real people) get character tags instead, but this is a copyright. Though there is also "Kanye West the copyright" (probably not legally registered as such, but as far as our purposes are concerned) because there is essentially an entire brand around his music with logos and merchandise and stuff like this.
Overall, this is probably fine, but there should probably be a separate tag for "Kanye West the person" in the character category.

kanye_west_(character)

wewe should definitely have a separate tag for Kanye the brand and Kanye the person.

I've been trying to fix these musician tags by doing that exact thing when I come across them. There's usually only a handful of images depicting the person themselves (and usually far more depicting their logo, lyrics or album art) so it's usually easy enough to just flip the tag type and create a character tag with the person's actual name or name_(character) for the few images depicting them/cosplay of them/furrifications/etc.

Musician and band copyrights are already something I look out for in posts while browsing anyways, since they often go untagged, so it's just more for that little project of mine, I suppose.

Oh, I just noticed you had made the character tag for this one too. Thanks
