I noticed yellow speech bubble doesn’t even imply speech bubble.

Should we have a "colored speech bubble" tag or directly imply speech bubble?

I'd rather we alias all the colored speech tags away to the main tag, as they're not the focus of the image and bloat the tags needlessly away from more important aspects of the image.

Tag bloat? But we tag up to the small background details and tiniest character features.

And sometimes, speech bubbles take up a lot of space and pop out a lot.

It’s easier to remember there’s a giant yellow speech bubble in this post, than it is to remember the color of the eyes or guitar, or that the character’s mouth is open. If a user wants to find this image again, they’re likely to search "yellow speech bubble", imo.

I'm all for character features getting tagged. They're the focus. We've gotten into a habit of hyper fixation on the non-important things on the image.

my point still stands in the thread nevertheless. by this argument, are we suppose to alias colored flower, grass, sky etc, because they aren't objectively the focus of the post and boils down to the character exclusively? especially colored text that somewhat tightly related to colored speech bubbles required to be aliased to the main?
no matter what, i still see the speech bubble colored yellow and if i remember just like "character" tags, i'd search for it, at least unlike colored inner ear fluff on usual basis

Colored flowers can be accessories, so I'd say no to that one. But things like sky and grass are capped at that. No one is tagging "green sky" or "blue grass," and that's the hyperfixation I'm talking about.

Maybe it makes me a mawkogger but I think those tags are pretty useful. Such features are usually noticeable and distinct, so they are likely to be tagged and also likely to be remembered when someone is searching from memory for that post.
