Merging Plurals (Explicit Text)

UnderwoodART

Just Another Pink Pony

Thorn -> Thorns (larger tag)
Toe Rings -> Toe Ring (larger tag)
Moles -> Mole (larger tag - this needs to be defined as “a spot on skin”, so people don’t tag it on the animal)
Plates -> Plate (larger tag)
etc.

The problem here is consistency, as to whether the dominant tag should be the plural or not. No wonder people make up their own tags for things (which I try to squash when I see them). Let me know if you want me to keep on pointing out plurals/overlaps.

(And yes, sadly these are all foot-related tags thanks to my current tag-fixing rabbit hole)

Update:
Troll doll -> Trolls (I don’t think the tag is large enough to warrant a distinction between the brand and its merchandise)

@cheezedoodle
Cool, thanks! If there’s any way I can help from an mod position, I would he happy to; fixing tags is kinda fun. I have quite a lot of experience with the English language. I can appreciate that I’m unproven, though. I’ll add a reply if I find more specifics.

@izzip
Given that this is a pony site, I can see the benefit between keeping Pony for the race and Ponies for a group of them, though the plural should logically add the race.
Drawers is the name of the furniture (assume it’s not the colloquial name for underwear), while Drawer would be the part of the furniture (likely opened), so if anything, that should be merged into the plural (again assuming we’re not talking about someone who draws). Frankly it’s a weird tag to have at all, but I can see the logic in keeping both.
Outdoor is bad grammar in this context, so yeah, that should be merged.

Update:
Not a plural, but it might be worth changing Snake Bites to Snake Bites Piercing for consistency and clarity. I would prefer “Snake Bite Piercing”, but it’s unclear from google if it’s always a plural; the more reputable-looking sites seem to say “Snake Bites Piercings”, though.

Quak should be merged into Quack (larger). I’m not really sure what the difference is, but both tags seem flooded by one particular OC, regardless of whether there is any quacking or not… Both have over 100 entries though, so I don’t really want to have to remove inappropriate ones.

Consider merging Sneeze Spray and Sneeze Cloud (larger) into Sneezing (largest). I don’t know if there’s a necessity for the smaller tags–maybe there is–or why “cloud” is more popular than “spray”, but Sneezing content includes both lesser actions, with the lesser tags interchangeable or omitted entirely.

Partial Transformation (40) into Transformation (larger), since that already covers stages by definition.

Choke (13) into Choking (larger). I also feel like Gag needs to be clarified as Mouth Gag, to differentiate it from the action of gagging on something. Gagging is a mix of choking and being gagged.

Adolf Hitler should automatically apply the Nazi tag. It’s kind of gross these are even allowed, but it’s not my site.

Thrust into Thrusting (larger).

Hand Drawing into Traditional Art (larger) because what else is that.

Iris is a very confused tag, including eyes, the flower, and the screen wipe. I’m not sure what to suggest, so I may just remove/fix them all myself. Iris Out exists for the wipe, though I’m surprised it’s so small. Pupils is also a small, strange tag, though at least it’s focused. No pun intended. As it stands, I’ve removed all instances of Iris apart from those referencing the Greek god of rainbows (2), so maybe define it as that.

Throatpie into Oral Creampie (larger). This also crosses over with Cum in Mouth (largest), though I can appreciate a contextual difference. Also, is there a difference between Facefuck and Deepthroat?

Pony Creator into 3D Pony Creator (smaller). Although the tag exists with over 3k entries and comes up when adding a tag, searching for it produces no results, and not just on my filter settings. Normally I wouldn’t merge into the smaller tag, but something is going on here, and the program is technically called “3D Pony Creator”. Ponylumen also exists, who created the 3D Pony Creator, and I’m not sure why it’s a tag, as it’s being used for the same uploads, so I recommend that too get merged into 3D Pony Creator.

Two Panels into 2 Panel Comic (larger).

IRL Photo should be merged into IRL, as it is defined as “photos of real life”.

artist:Brian Regan should be merged into Brian Regan (larger), as he is a comedian whose content is being used, not the creator of the uploaded art.

Guide, How to Draw, and Tutorial (larger) also all exist, despite being synonyms, so I recommend merging all into Tutorial.

Fetlock Tuft into Unshorn Fetlocks (larger).

I have a question: if something is tagged duck pony (because that’s a thing), should it also be tagged pegasus, because it’s a pony with wings? It seems to be exclusively for one OC, who merely has duck-like markings (so I’m not sure why they get their own species, be w/e).

I have a suggestion for tagging in general. Memes should be given their own colour and tag-type, to differentiate them from descriptive tags. For example: meme:Hnnng and meme:The, which in my mind makes it more acceptable for a tag to have fewer entries for it. This would also separate Hnnng as a reaction and meme:Hnnng as a literal image of the meme.

Anyway, I’m getting tired, I’ve been doing this for hours. Hope it was helpful.

Given that this is a pony site, I can see the benefit between keeping Pony for the race and Ponies for a group of them, though the plural should logically add the race.

I don’t see any reason not to alias it, except to point out the verbatim word, and I think there’s about a 0% chance that’ll stick.

Drawers is the name of the furniture (assume it’s not the colloquial name for underwear), while Drawer would be the part of the furniture (likely opened), so if anything, that should be merged into the plural (again assuming we’re not talking about someone who draws). Frankly it’s a weird tag to have at all, but I can see the logic in keeping both.

It’s a little weird to tag when it’s incidental/background furniture, but there are definitely pictures where it’s something of note:

I might suggest merging into “drawer” to help prevent confusion with underwear.

Outdoor is bad grammar in this context, so yeah, that should be merged.

Yeah, probably.

I’m not really sure what the difference is, but both tags seem flooded by one particular OC, regardless of whether there is any quacking or not… Both have over 100 entries though, so I don’t really want to have to remove inappropriate ones.

IDK what’s going on with the OC, but all but one picture tagged quak is also tagged oc:duk and that remaining one shouldn’t have any tag beginning with the letter “q”. Then, I’d say quack should be only on pictures with that word, or actual illustrated duck-like creatures making noise.

Consider merging Sneeze Spray and Sneeze Cloud (larger) into Sneezing (largest). I don’t know if there’s a necessity for the smaller tags–maybe there is–or why “cloud” is more popular than “spray”, but Sneezing content includes both lesser actions, with the lesser tags interchangeable or omitted entirely.

I don’t know about “cloud” vs. “spray” but given how sneezing spans non-fetish and fetish content, there are probably people who care. They definitely should not be merged into sneezing.

Partial Transformation (40) into Transformation (larger), since that already covers stages by definition.

It’s not used very much, but I can see why pointing out a partial-body transformation is interesting (not the same thing as “partway through a sequence of a complete transformation”)

Choke (13) into Choking (larger). I also feel like Gag needs to be clarified as Mouth Gag, to differentiate it from the action of gagging on something. Gagging is a mix of choking and being gagged.

Oof. Well, choke into choking seems fine. “Gag/gagging” are words that could mean “gag (object)”, “gag (joke)”, “to gag/gagging (sensation)”, “to gag/gagging (apply a gag [object])”, and I’m not sure how important or not it is to separate the meanings. Similarly, “choking (performed on somebody else)” and “choking (by oneself due to an object)”…

Thrust into Thrusting (larger).

I guess so, if instead something like “thrust (transformers)” was substituted for the character

Hand Drawing into Traditional Art (larger) because what else is that.

It could be to distinguish between analytical/mathematical illustration (vectors, CAD) and freehand (whether on paper or a digital tablet)…but considering hand drawn is already aliased into traditional art, so should hand drawing.
…for that matter, there’s also freehand (20) which presently is on a few traditional and a few digital posts.

Iris is a very confused tag, including eyes, the flower, and the screen wipe. I’m not sure what to suggest, so I may just remove/fix them all myself. Iris Out exists for the wipe, though I’m surprised it’s so small. Pupils is also a small, strange tag, though at least it’s focused. No pun intended. As it stands, I’ve removed all instances of Iris apart from those referencing the Greek god of rainbows (2), so maybe define it as that.

There’s iris (flower) which should get the implication flower as long as plain iris won’t be chosen for that.

Throatpie into Oral Creampie (larger). This also crosses over with Cum in Mouth (largest), though I can appreciate a contextual difference. Also, is there a difference between Facefuck and Deepthroat?

Use of throatpie is quite a bit less than results from a combined search for “oral creampie, deepthroat” so it’s either undertagged or unnecessary if that pair of tags is enough to identify it. Either it needs some implications, or otherwise alias to oral creampie.

facefuck vs. deepthroat has to do with the vigor/roughness and the relative active participation between the parties engaged.

Pony Creator into 3D Pony Creator (smaller). Although the tag exists with over 3k entries and comes up when adding a tag, searching for it produces no results, and not just on my filter settings. Normally I wouldn’t merge into the smaller tag, but something is going on here, and the program is technically called “3D Pony Creator”. Ponylumen also exists, who created the 3D Pony Creator, and I’m not sure why it’s a tag, as it’s being used for the same uploads, so I recommend that too get merged into 3D Pony Creator.

Something is amiss for you. I’m on “everything” filter and see the expected thousands of results from a search for pony creator and its products are 2D, not 3D.

Two Panels into 2 Panel Comic (larger).
IRL Photo should be merged into IRL, as it is defined as “photos of real life”.

Seems fine.

Guide, How to Draw, and Tutorial (larger) also all exist, despite being synonyms, so I recommend merging all into Tutorial.

I’m not 100% confident about guide because a very few of them are for other meanings, like “information” >>398567, “reference sheet” >>644168, “teaching” >>617580, “leading” >>469414. I guess those few could get something else figured out for them.

Fetlock Tuft into Unshorn Fetlocks (larger).

They’re not quite the same thing.

I have a question: if something is tagged duck pony (because that’s a thing), should it also be tagged pegasus, because it’s a pony with wings? It seems to be exclusively for one OC, who merely has duck-like markings (so I’m not sure why they get their own species, be w/e).

A duck pony might not always be a pegasus, it might be an alicorn.
Also, I don’t know what you mean by “seems to be exclusively” because I see nearly twice as many posts without the OC than with.

As for getting one’s own species, that’s just how things work around here it seems.

I have a suggestion for tagging in general. Memes should be given their own colour and tag-type, to differentiate them from descriptive tags. For example: meme:Hnnng and meme:The, which in my mind makes it more acceptable for a tag to have fewer entries for it. This would also separate Hnnng as a reaction and meme:Hnnng as a literal image of the meme.

Not a bad idea…

red nose <- red nosed (roughly equal)

I have a question about races (again); if a character is defined as snail pony, is it a good idea to auto-tag snail as well? To me, snail should be kept for the literal animal (same applies to the duck pony thing earlier), while a snail-pony is a snail-pony. Clearly the snail tag is mainly for the animal, given how much smaller the crossbred snail pony tag is. Kinda feels like pointless dilution of the larger race tags. It’s not like snail pony tags pony too.

anon ask -> ask (larger; the distinction is superfluous)

sniffles <- sniffling (roughly equal; to avoid confusion with sniffing)

doppelganger and doppleganger should be merged into a new doppelgänger tag, or at least the “el” spelling. If not, merge into clone or add it by association.

They aren’t, and they both have tag descriptions explaining what each means and when they should be used.

Well, for better or worse, it consistently seems to be how it’s done - dracony implies dragon, squirrel pony implies squirrel, fox pony implies fox, etc.

“pony” is a special case in that it’s both a race-category and a body-type (eg. should not be combined with anthro). If it ever gets split away, it would get implied, too.

Anyway, I think whether species should get implied by their hybrids/ponifications is a much bigger discussion and probably needs a new thread.

sniffles <- sniffling (roughly equal; to avoid confusion with sniffing)

sniffles tag is categorized as a character, so all the pictures using it to tag sniffling are mistakes.

It looks like there are so few actual pictures of whatever character that is, perhaps a separate tag sniffles (character) should be used for them instead, and then sniffles could be demoted to a plain tag and sniffling aliased into it?

doppelganger and doppleganger should be merged into a new doppelgänger tag, or at least the “el” spelling. If not, merge into clone or add it by association.

Yes on the spelling, no on clone which can mean other things as well.

I feel like having both “mane” and “hair” tags are confusing without any definition.

For example, Purple Mane and Purple Hair both exist, and while I understand that “mane” is specific to equines, it does still technically count as hair. If you want to retain both tags for separate species (and given how big the tags are, I understand this), I think they need a tooltip to define “mane” as equine-only and “hair” as non-equine. I see a lot of pony art with the “hair” tag, sometimes both, which is of course redundant.

This issue spans across all separate colour tags, so would require a number of edits.

beige background doesn’t add simple background, presumably because it has such a low number of tags. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if you merged beige into brown, but otherwise all “background” tags, or at least the colours, should append simple background.

facefuck v deepthroat also involves the depth taken/reached orally.

Guide, How to Draw, and Tutorial (larger) also all exist, despite being synonyms, so I recommend merging all into Tutorial.

No. I agree with what the other user said about guide. To add to that, How to Draw should imply tutorial, if anything. But tutorial could involve “how to”s that have nothing to do with drawing.

@UnderwoodART
The fact that there even is mane and hair tags, is just baffling to me. There should be tags to show a distinction between images for searchability. Not near-universally existing. I shudder to think how many more tags like that exist for the sake of existing.
With that in mind, wingless anthro seems like a dumb tag to have, as it’s pretty much just anthro with no distinction otherwise to show they’re a pegasus. But that’s a topic for another thread.

@UnderwoodART
I don’t know what the heck’s going on with the BG tags, and some of these other tags like eye/hair colors. It’s really getting out of hand.

re: drawers - I aliased them because they might be found on a dresser or cabinet. There’s not really a piece of furniture called “drawers”

re: piercing - The “piercing” on Derpi usually only goes after the body part, which is why the snake bites tag implies lip piercing. You’re not really piercing your snake bites. I think the tag is more of a reference to the jewelry.

re: sneezes - I merged cloud and spray and imply sneezing.

re: thrust - there were only a handful that weren’t the transformer so I retagged them and set a definition and implication. I wonder about thrusting vs. pelvic thrust though.

re: hitler - there are an awful lot of pics that just refer to him in text and don’t really have anything to do with nazism. Easy enough to filter his name if you don’t want to see it.

re: freehand, hand drawing. There were a few on freehand that were just altogether inappropriate, after removing those I aliased both into trad art.

re: throatpie - probably needs an entire topic. People are very particular about their sex tags.

re: guide, etc. - How to draw already implies tutorial. I’m sure there may be tutorials for other things too.

pals/friend/friends/friendshipping probably needs an entire topic for disambiguation.

red nose/red nosed are different actually, per descriptions. Not the best solution. I did have clown nose imply clown and red nose, since the 2 main varieties of red noses seem to be clowns and rudolph the reindeer dressup.

sniffles pics retagged. a case could be made for aliasing sniffling into sick or even runny nose.

If I didn’t mention it I generally took them as-suggested.

@cheezedoodle
Thanks for the hard work, sensei.

And now back to the regularly scheduled pain:
I feel like the site could benefit having a list of related/similar tags generated for tags searched. For example, searching for bow gives a detailed description of what that tag means (the accessory), including a couple of disambiguated terms, but could also benefit from a list of “adjacent tags” that include the word ‘bow’ (though exclude ‘rainbow’).
I was trying to find the motion of bowing, which would be a useful link to have from what you would logically try searching for first. Ideally this would be an automated process, and would remove the need to manually add parenthesised variants. This could also be remedied by having auto-completed options in the search bar. It’s extremely cumbersome having to visit the tag page to see what you’re doing wrong for every multi-use spelling.
I bring this up because I was trying to find an image of a bow (the gesture) to add above and it literally took me an hour (albeit sidetracked) to find that I needed bowing (which is a surprisingly small tag), which feeds into the plural (or rather, verbing) issue. Perhaps change this to bow (gesture)? Surely there must be a larger tag for this action, but I certainly can’t find it.

Also, I feel like ship tags need a separate colour (I think… lime green is available? Not my first choice, but I didn’t realise how many were taken) to announce what the are, as the words they create can be quite confusing, especially when niche pairs and OCs are in the mix. (For example, shinbow is a ship, and not a bow on the shin.) Alternatively they could be more visually distinct with a slash ‘/’ or ‘×’ separating the names, but I expect that wouldn’t be received well.

cello bow and violin bow exist alongside bow (instrument), which feels overly specific. I think the instrument tags and a merged ‘bow’ tag would be enough.

clubhouse and crusaders clubhouse both exist. I’m not entirely sure what you would tag with the former if not the latter, but feel free to correct me on that.

unitárium is a tag I don’t understand, which seems to be attached to half the art of a specific artist, regardless of content. Their tagging is a little suspect all around, like adding mexican purely because the artist is mexican. I suggest removing it entirely, but I’m mainly just bringing it to your attention.

beauty mark and mole are technically the same thing, and while the former may be artificially added with makeup, for the purposes of art the distinction is moot. I don’t know what to suggest for them though, because I can see both tags being equally wanted.

long ears and big ears both exist and the tag results appear to show no distinction.

horn and horns both exist, though in this universe the plural distinction is important, but should horns also add horn as the encompassing category? Several ‘horns’ tags already imply horn.

stretched anus and anal stretching are small tags that should really be merged into something, but I’m struggling to find what, since anal feels too vague. I get that they’re sightly different things, but those tags are too small to be the correct term…

holographic maybe merged into hologram. It works for the sci-fi kind, but feels awkward for the chromatic effect. Maybe define it as holographic (effect)… maybe. I just feel like the lines are too blurry at the moment and need to be either defined or merged.

qinnisian appears to be the artist’s oc race, so I don’t know if that deserves the brown tag.

Bowing changing to bow (gesture) won’t help with tag adding/editing since it’s one of the lower use tags. Won’t pop up on the top 5 dropdown tags either way. Adding that latter tag and also adding that to the detailed description I’d agree with though.

bow (instrument) suggestion
I agree with this.

qinnisian
I dunno about this either, especially with so few entries.

========
stretched anus and anal stretching are small tags
I feel like this might be better suited to split into
alias (found others for merging)
stretched anus, stretched ponut -> gaping anus
spreading asshole -> spread anus
anal stretch -> anal stretching
and stretch[ing] should be left on its own for a specific search and added where needed, with spread anus applied as needed.

if not, alias:
anal stretching, anal stretch -> spread anus

On that note:
stretched pussy, stretched vagina, stretching vagina, spread vulva -> spread pussy

spread asscheeks, spreading ass, spreading cheeks -> spread butt

I suggest merging ice climber, popo and nana into ice climbers. I know it’s normal to tag characters by name, but these are all small tags, and few people actually know these characters by name. “Ice Climbers” is both the franchise and generally what the characters are referred to, especially when they’re almost always shown together, so it’s a nice cover-all. Alteratively, have the names infer the title and merge the singular.

pony plushie into plushie.

lying down and prone seem to be the same action, or at least have a lost of crossover with tagged works. If they are different things, they need to be defined better… In fact, spoot implies both, and I’m left confused as to the purpose.

430 pictures of it doesn’t seem small to me. I agree that it could be worthwhile for the long descriptions to mention a few curated close alternates.

Alternatively they could be more visually distinct with a slash ‘/’ or ‘×’ separating the names, but I expect that wouldn’t be received well.

There was some discussion in the general tagging thread about that and some good ideas, but eventually petered out due to requiring some of the admin’s time to actually get implemented. :\

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

clubhouse and crusaders clubhouse both exist. I’m not entirely sure what you would tag with the former if not the latter, but feel free to correct me on that.

Well, in principle, it would matter if there were other clubhouses besides the CMC’s.
Indeed however, almost all of the pictures tagged clubhouse but not crusaders clubhouse are either…also pictures of the crusaders clubhouse, or on pictures I’m not convinced are using the tag right (ie. applying it on a “club”/“nightclub”)

unitárium is a tag I don’t understand, which seems to be attached to half the art of a specific artist, regardless of content. Their tagging is a little suspect all around, like adding mexican purely because the artist is mexican. I suggest removing it entirely, but I’m mainly just bringing it to your attention.

I also do not understand, and cannot recommend anything unless one of the tag users comes by and explains things.

long ears and big ears both exist and the tag results appear to show no distinction.

They should show a distinction, they’re just misused, and admittedly, have some overlap.
Big ears are approximately of normal shape, just…big.

Long ears (this one was tagged big ears) are, well, long.

Depending on the shape, it’s feasible they could be both big ears and long ears

horn and horns both exist, though in this universe the plural distinction is important, but should horns also add horn as the encompassing category? Several ‘horns’ tags already imply horn.

I’m not sure. I get the impression horn is used as if it’s short for (little-used tags) unicorn horn, changeling horn, or kirin horn, except for the multi-horn variants…some of which show multiple unicorn-style horns and some show multiple other-style horns. So, I don’t know.

holographic maybe merged into hologram. It works for the sci-fi kind, but feels awkward for the chromatic effect. Maybe define it as holographic (effect)… maybe. I just feel like the lines are too blurry at the moment and need to be either defined or merged.

Seems alright as they are to me, especially since I don’t see many tag removals for either of those tags (which would indicate if people mixed them up).

qinnisian appears to be the artist’s oc race, so I don’t know if that deserves the brown tag.

It could be proposed in the Species listing thread.

big teeth needs to merge into fangs.

Ehh, I could see a use for it. These two >>1159706 >>2595063 I’d say would well qualify as “big teeth”, and I’d add “sharp teeth”.
These two that you removed it from >>1657836 >>2381957 and this one that still has it >>2381968 suit it well, also. Although, the tag does seem to be misused for fangs quite a bit, too.

pony plushie into plushie.

pony plushie is to identify that the plushie is of a pony, and not a shark (blahaj) or a star or a rabbit or a teddy bear.

lying down and prone seem to be the same action, or at least have a lost of crossover with tagged works. If they are different things, they need to be defined better…

They could do with some definitions, yes, though “prone” is indirectly defined by the tags aliased to it: “lying on stomach, couchant, on belly, laying on belly, lying on belly, laying on stomach”

In fact, spoot implies both, and I’m left confused as to the purpose.

That’s a typo of sploot, right?

A “sploot” is a pose where in contrast to how many quadrupeds lie down with front legs in front (tucked or at least bent at the elbows) and hind legs also forward, the hind legs and often the front legs will be stretched out sideways or lengthwise in a manner giving the impression that instead of sitting down, they just limply went “sploot!” onto the ground.
The subreddit defines it thus:

Welcome to /r/Sploot! We are a community dedicated to animals posing with their arms/legs stretched out, which is also referred to as “frogging” by some people. For example, this winking corgi

We welcome all pics of animals in this pose. A traditional Sploot pose is when the animal is laying on its stomach and has its arms/legs stretched out. Some posts also include animals laying on their backs, an “upside down” or “reverse” sploot if you will. We allow these too and let the community decide how relevant they are with up/down votes.

stretched anus and anal stretching are small tags that should really be merged into something, but I’m struggling to find what, since anal feels too vague. I get that they’re sightly different things, but those tags are too small to be the correct term…

stretched anus and anal stretching are small tags
I feel like this might be better suited to split into
alias (found others for merging)
stretched anus, stretched ponut, spreading asshole -> spread anus
anal stretch -> anal stretching
and stretch[ing] should be left on its own for a specific search and added where needed, with spread anus applied as needed.

if not, alias:
anal stretching, anal stretch -> spread anus

On that note:
stretched pussy, stretched vagina, stretching vagina, spread vulva -> spread pussy

spread asscheeks, spreading ass, spreading cheeks -> spread butt

Don’t forget about gaping anus and that is one stretchy ponut
Anuses aren’t my jam, so feel free to figure it out, or at least get someone who’s into it to participate. Then, figure out whether “stretching”, “stretch”, and “stretched” refer to action, aftermath, or both, and whether that distinction is important.

That’s a typo of sploot, right?

That makes MUCH more sense now.

Don’t forget about gaping anus

I forgot about the gape variant. Slipped my mind.

And now on THAT note:
Alias:
nipple gape, gaping breast, gaping breast -> gaping nipple

urethral gape -> gaping urethra

gaping vulva -> gaping vagina

This seems to be turning into a thread on tagging theory or open-ended questions. I’d like to keep it to specific simple requests please. The discord has a tagging thread where it’d be better to discuss some of this stuff.

re: cello vs. violin bow - implications are already set up and they are all tagged bow (instrument) so I’m not going to negate someone else’s work. Personally I would just merge them all into bow (instrument) myself, but no.

re: bowing - I prefer bowing (gesture) but for now I just expanded the detailed description of bow

re: clubhouse - implication exists, not going to touch it.

re: unitárium - seems to be the fanfiction symbol of the OC’s cutie mark. Not worth messing around with.

re: beauty mark vs. mole - pretty specific location for beauty mark. Whereas moles can be anywhere. I could see it implying mole though.

re: horns - I think it’s very useful to keep the plural vs. singular distinction in this case.

re: holograms - Created Rainbow Hologram tag for those types of holograms that change color as you change your viewing angle. It implies regular hologram. Merged holographic into hologram and added an implication to holographic screen.

re: big teeth - didn’t alias but retagged.

re: long/big ears - I feel there’s room for both and I’m not about to filter through almost 2k images to split them up.

Aaand that’s it from me for a couple of days.

@cheezedoodle
I figured I should’ve moved those explicit aliases to a new thread. I’ll do that now. (EDIT: Posted here, for anyone following along)

I actually wasn’t aware of that difference.
