+1. Mirror_opposites doesn't really have anything to do with mirrors, so the current name isn't great.

Different_reflection is for covering a reflection that does not match up (ex: post #1439683, post #40973, post #471925)
Black_vs_White is a tag that was created to cover specifically light versus dark (ex: post #1155811, post #122100).
pool #3209: Reflected Worlds seems to be something the overlaps with the tags and is about images in which the reflection reflects an alternate reality, such as past vs present, dark path versus the light path, exterior personality versus inner personality, etc (Ex: post #790199, post #1081669, post #762173).
Mirror Opposites was intended as a broader idea of covering images that depicted two things that were opposites/opposition to each other, such as spring (life) versus winter (death), fire versus ice, light versus dark, nature versus technology/machinery, hot versus cold, blue versus red, etc. Ex: post #1373896, post #1141777, post #612943.

As far as my knowledge goes the mirror_opposites (created at least as early as August 2010) tag predates at least the different_reflection (February 2011) and pool #3209 (March 2011). Black vs White appears to have existed in another form as Black & White at least as early as 2008, and then was shifted to its current form in December 2012 when the older one was mass edited to the current form.

Okay, that convinced me. I'll be using the tag from now then.

I've been thinking that renaming mirror_opposites to "polar_opposites" would make the purpose of the tag a bit clearer in the naming.

What's with that? We already have different_reflection, black_vs_white and reflected worlds pool.

black vs white is a subset of the mirror opposites tag with a specific motif if we most delete something it's that not mirror opposites.

However, I see no reason any of them need to be deleted and you haven't given an actual argument as to why they do need to.

Okay, give me any example of mirror_opposites that can't be substituted by one of existing tags.

And none of the three things you listed are the same as the mirror_opposites tag, so there's no reason they can't all exist.

What's with that? We already have different_reflection, black_vs_white and reflected worlds pool.
