first_person_view requires the PoV character to be visible, but there are many cases where a leashed_pov exists without the PoV character visible.

Then leashed_pov is a mistag and should be removed. *_pov tags are generally for first_person_view, so if the latter doesn't apply, the former can't either, and would need to be removed from posts regardless of any implication anyway. The implication, at least, helps people see the mistag.

It seems though, a number of these mistags may be a result of leashed_viewer being aliased to leashed_pov. These should be separated since *_viewer is generally for cases where the viewing character isn't visible, unlike *_pov which is for when the viewing character is visible.

The bulk update request #9385 is pending approval.

remove alias leashed_viewer (0) -> leashed_pov (1639)
remove alias leashing_the_viewer (0) -> leashed_pov (1639)
remove alias leashing_viewer (0) -> leashed_pov (1639)

Reason: Viewer and POV tags should be separate. *_viewer tags are generally for when a character is interacting with the viewing character who otherwise may not be seen (e.g. looking_at_viewer, talking_to_viewer, penis_towards_viewer), while *_pov tags are generally for when the viewing character can be seen (penetrating_pov, male_pov). Since leashed_pov implies first_person_view, this is causing mistags for people tagging leashed_viewer, without an apparent alternative to tag non-POV leashed viewer scenarios.

Followup:

alias leashing_the_viewer -> leashed_viewer
alias leashing_viewer -> leashed_viewer
imply leashed_viewer -> leash

Yes, this is the problem I encountered. I was trying to add "leashed_viewer" and it aliased to "leashed_pov". Of course, your solution makes more sense.
