create implication throat_microphone -> headset
More appropriate would be to create an implication between throat_microphone -> microphone, since microphones at their most basic are sensors which convert vibrations/sound in various mediums into electrical signals. The throat microphone, or throat mic, is a variation of a microphone that absorbs the vibrations directly from the user's throat.

Throat mics are also visually distinct from standard microphones.
That's why I qualified my statement with "at their most basic". When most people hear the word microphone, they think of the kind of microphones that singers or TV shows use, which is probably what you meant in your statement. However, microphone also means what I indicated in my previous statement, which is why it is used as a modifier word for many different variations of microphone, to include throat microphone (see Wikipedia for many other examples).
However, all of that is irrelevant, since the argument is what should the word microphone mean on Danbooru. As for myself, I'm all for making it more in line with its contemporary usage outside Danbooru.
We're not Wikipedia, and we're not particularly interested in "usage outside Danbooru" if it interferes with searches.
