Topic: Regarding pony names...

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This topic has been locked.

Can we have a consolidated list of pony names so we do not have different names referring to the exact same pony/pony appearance? I mean, look at post #137265. I see two characters. I see 6 names. I do not know which names should be excluded.
post #133342: 1 character. 6 names.
post #133065: Not quite as bad.. 1 character. 4 names.

I know this issue is mostly for pinkie pie, but just as a precaution there should be a simple list for all variable names and appropiate usage.

Actually.. no. Every character tagged is in those images. The tagging there is correct ^^;;;

In an episode, Pinkie goes a little crazy and starts making friends out of .. well.. a bucket of turnips, a sake of flour.. etc.

That said, I do need to go through and do some pony name cleaning up, but I'm goign to wait a few days til I have some more time before I get into that, as it'll involve a lot of work <3

I'm not saying they aren't characters. I'm saying we don't need 5 different names for the same character representation, just as we don't need 5 different terms for vaginal penetration.

Unless you mean those background objects... which I would then argue that we don't need names for those things to begin with. They have no character noteworthiness save for having a name; Just leave them as flour, turnip, etc.

(no I don't know my mlp "minor characters")

To put simply: if the characters were in their own image, by themselves, would they be recognized as characters? If not, they are not sufficiently noteworthy.

They are correctly named - and are not duplicate tags.

Also, what harm is it having them named? They are part of the MLP fandom - regardless if you 'get it' or not.

In my opinion they aer probably justified to get a name however weird it may seem. Let's take an example:
If we had a comic about a man and his talking penis named Richard (get it?) where the dick does nothing else than make toilet humor. In this case the penis would probably have a ta of its own, even though it has no real characteristics other than that.
Hmm, my example is surprisingly creepy, really idiotic ,and i'm not surprised this would exist. How else would we have movies like "Chatterbox"? Fuck it, my point is still legit (i think), since they almost have the same amount of dialogue as Big Mac or any of the other "secondary" characters.

And now you see what I was trying to stop way back when with crap like "Wing boner" and the rest. -.-;

redundant tags need to be cleaned up, unique tags that fit a specific theme or situation are fine.

but the tags don't hurt anyone -_-

That sort of attitude leads to a lot of stupid tags =/

Their characters in the show, the name tags stay. Locking thread.
