The tag implication #66047 helium_inflation -> inflation is pending approval.

Reason: Noticed helium inflation wasnt implied with inflation at all, air inflation and many other types already are

Is there any significant difference between air_inflation (or air_inflation floating) and helium_inflation?
Because we have posts like post #1150080 that follow cartoon logic (i.e., using a bike pump to inflate someone with air and make them float).

a lot of artists just have characters float anyways even though it's air. But they do tag on their posts if it's air inflation, or helium inflation usually.

I think it should be an alias. How do you tell if someone's being inflated by helium specifically, rather than some other gas? Or even some non-gas; in a still image, you often can't really tell the difference between floating and bouncing. At best you may see a tank with an H on it, but wouldn't a tag like helium_tank cover that?

The worst part is that most artists just use non-descript gas canisters, so it would essentially be TWYK in choosing between oxygen_tank (and air_inflation) or helium_tank (and helium_inflation).

If one of the criteria for helium_inflation is for the character to float after inflating, then post #1150080 would just break all of that because of cartoon logic.

I feel like we maybe should at least have a gas_inflation tag, though. we do have liquid_inflation.

That seems to be what air_inflation is for, but gas inflation would probably be more accurate.

so then should we just have it as gas inflation? where both air inflation and helium inflation would just be gas inflation or no?
