Topic: Tag alias: convention_pup -> pakol

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag alias #75238 convention_pup -> pakol is pending approval.

Reason: This request is another one that I should have done earlier.

Well before we had more content from him translated I just created a "Convention Pup" tag and called it a day...he a smug lad that goes into conventions like comiket, simple right?

But I have researched in a few older uploads had some translations now, this is a rare comic featuring him, here he says his nickname is オフパコル(off-pakol) in 2018 (maybe...both the tweet and pixiv links are nuked sadly)

Although in a modern reupload from 2023 Marimo seems to have dropped the オフ so he is just now パコル (pakol)

I made a small research about what the fudge is パコル, it seems to be slang term for offline meet ups or hook ups so it does make sense for the guy.

You could write パコル in lots of ways:
Pakoru/Pakolu
Pacoru/Pacolu
Pacol
Pakol

All 4 ways with "ru/lu" seems weird for a name written in Katakana, so it's between Col and Kol. I picked "Pakol" because "Pacol" seems to be related to "Paraffin Conversion to Olefins" or something science related so not a fun thing...Pakol doesn't seems to have this problem and an unintended bonus is a term for a type of hat, we rarely see the boy without his cap so this is a bit funny

So that's a lot of text just for a simple alias, still I am open for opinions for using "Pacol" instead.
