Improve "chubby" character tags

The “chubby” tag currently has five aliases which seem like they were meant to imply “chubby” + a character tag:
  • chubbie pie
  • chubbyshy
  • chubbity
  • chubby dash
  • chubby jack
Someone searching for “chubby dash” probably doesn’t expect to find, say, chubby Fluttershy.

Suggestion 1

  1. Un-alias the above and turn them into their own tags that imply “chubby” + the relevant character tag.
  2. Add “expanded” versions as aliases of the above. i.e.:
    • new aliases for “chubbie pie”: chubby pinkie, chubby pinkie pie
    • new alias for “chubbyshy”: chubby fluttershy
    • new alias for “chubbity”: chubby rarity
    • new alias for “chubby dash”: chubby rainbow dash
    • new alias for “chubby jack”: chubby applejack
I imagine moderators may have access to bulk-tagging tools that could then be used to apply these correctly to most “chubby” images afterward?

Suggestion 2

Then, there are a number of existing “chubby” character tags - some examples:
Searching for tags starting with “chub*” brings up quite a lot more of these. They’d be worth going through to ensure they all imply “chubby” + the appropriate character tag as well. These will also benefit from aliases like “chubby diamond tiara”, “chubby apple bloom”, etc. that expand the character’s full name for better autocompletion suggestions.

We already have character-specific fat tags. There doesn’t need to be a whole other set of new compound tags for specifically “chubby” rather than “fat”. The two “chubby” character tags that already have implications – chubby diamond and chubbylestia – are just their versions of those aforementioned tags.
I suppose you could argue that the character chubby tags could be aliased into their already established respective “fat” tags instead of into chubby itself, and I could agree with that. I’d be fine with un-aliasing, say, chubbie pie and instead aliasing it into pudgy pie.

I’m inclined to agree. The existence of all these “chubby” character tags, plus the fact that the “chubby” tag does not currently imply “fat”, made me think that the separation from “fat” versions of the character tags was intended.
But the way the chubby diamond and chubbylestia tags are set up was at odds with this thought. Good to know that they actually reflect the site’s “preferred” approach.

+1 to this. If we don’t want to maintain distinct “chubby” and “fat” compound tags, as above, merging them all into their corresponding “fat” tags only makes sense.
For consistency’s sake, I suggest also making “chubby” imply “fat” while we’re at it. Chubby characters are fat by definition, after all, even if not by much.

FWIW, I’ve been thrown off a few times by how some of the “fat” nicknames include the words “chubby” or “pudgy”, which are real tags, but instead imply “fat”. But, it’s probably way too late to rename them into something more self-evident.
I also still don’t know the difference between “chubby”, “plump”, and “pudgy

This thread’s overall goal is bringing consistency to all the “fat” character tags. If you have ideas for more useful names to give any of them, please share them, even if it would mean modifying well-established tags. I can attest to having been thrown off by the tags you mentioned in the same way, for the same reason.

Good point. I suggest starting a separate thread for these since they’re not character-specific and are worth discussing in their own space.
My take: I see these words as describing several steps on the low end of the “fatness scale,” as follows:
pudgy < chubby < plump
That’s how I interpret their dictionary definitions, at least:
  1. Well-rounded and full in form; chubby.
  2. Abundant; ample: a plump reward.
Rounded and plump.
Somewhat fat; chubby: a pudgy face.
