The bulk update request #9515 is pending approval.

remove alias kemonomimi (0) -> animal_humanoid (148861)

Reason: Animal_humanoid is a pretty broad and diverse category! Kemonomimi is, meanwhile, a bit more specific and restrictive, but is also likely the largest portion of 'animal_humanoid'. At the moment there's not a way to separate these two categories.

Now an issue is that 'kemonomimi' is a Japanese term, rather than English, which is usually preferred when possible. Personally I don't see this as a huge issue- if a better term exists, then kemonomimi should be aliased to that tag rather than animal_humanoid.

Followup:
imply kemonomimi -> animal_humanoid

Alternatively- figuring out a better term to alias kemonomimi to.

We already have animal_ears and animal_tail, which is supposed to cover instances like that (though like many other humanoid-related tags, they're heavily misused and need regular cleaning). While kemonomimi literally means "animal ears", it's largely taken to mean animal humanoids, and it can end up being used on animal humanoids where the ears aren't necessarily visible, so animal_humanoid is the safest target to alias it to.

See I thought that animal_ears/tail were already aliased because of misuse and not having a clear-enough name. On top of that, animal humanoids that aren't kemonomimi can also still have ears and tails.
