Pointless Pools

Posted under General

Seems less like a favorites pool and more like an attempt to recreate a deleted tag in pool form. The passive-aggressive whining in the pool description is a nice bonus.

No comment on whether the female_pubic_hair tag should be remade. If anyone wants to discuss the merits of such a tag, they can raise the issue in another thread, because that's outside the scope of this one. What matters is that the subject of this pool quite obviously isn't pool material.

We can find Pokémon fusions by simply searching for pokemon fusion.

Some fusions in the pool came from the fusion generator websites, but others are just random fusions that didn't come from there.

pool #84, pool #279 and pool #81, the missing full/sample/thumb pools.

@evazion is there a technical reason why these are pools and not meta tags?

I've been populating all three automatically lately and it just occurred to me that it doesn't make much sense for them to be pools, since they describe a very objective thing in the image.

Yeah I don't think they regenerate anymore, at least not once a day, because I've been adding posts to that pool for a couple of days now and they're still broken. Maybe evazion knows if they're just broken or if that functionality was removed.

Edit: there's also missing_thumbnail apparently.

pool #10351 - Casually Barefoot

Not sure if this exactly falls under "pointless", but I thought I would mention it since it seemed off to me.

Despite the description saying, "When a character is barefoot and casual in a place and/or situation when it's expected to be shoed." a lot of images seem to simply be, "a character is barefoot while outside" regardless of how out of place or noteworthy the lack of shoes really is. The seemingly loose criteria kind of just makes it look like a foot fetish pool.

Even if it's not pointless, it might be worth cleaning up, since in the first place I don't think being barefoot is anything special if it's not genuinely a situation where it would be strange to not be wearing shoes, such as at a job or school, and the majority of posts currently in the pool aren't anything like that.

The majority of the posts in that pool seem to have been added by @Black_Fox so they might like to weigh in on any discussion about it.

I do agree that the criteria for such a pool should require more than merely being barefoot outdoors though, because if anyone wants to see posts like that, it's literally just a two-tag search.

This could possibly be a tag, but at foor posts I say its pretty pointless.

Yes, it's pointless. It should be deleted.

Paging @Kyrozen as he's the pool's creator.
I've converted the pool to the tag 416 day and also added the corresponding translated tag for it, so this should facilitate tagging of new posts.
