Tag Implication: yakiimo -> sweet_potato

Posted under General

Some yakiimo discussion came up before in forum #52650 and again in forum #53413. FWIW, I don't think there were problems with this implication. I think the problem was deciding between whether it should be alias instead (since most images of sweet potatoes on Danbooru are yakiimo anyway) or not. So, nothing was done on it last time.

I mentioned repurposing yakiimo for pictures where they roast the sweet potato using leaves, and jxh gave the thumbs-up. Assuming we want to use that definition, then -1 to the implication, since you could just see the leaf pile and not the potato itself.

How is it yakiimo without the "imo"? Wouldn't you just tag that as leaf, smoke, fire, or whatever else you can actually see? jxh said that you would have to have textual evidence for that (otherwise you wouldn't know it's a sweet potato being roasted). Seems like such an unlikely situation to have in an image, and even if it were to turn up it wouldn't seem wrong to have a sweet potato tag since you have to have evidence it's there anyway...

While it's not inconceivable that an image could make the idea obvious without the potato, I'm not sure it's likely enough that it should affect our tagging.

So I'm inclined to do this implication.
