Splatter Implications

Why do we need an umbrella tag here? I don't see a whole lot in common between e.g. post #4551441 and post #4454200.

This seems like another case of "let's make an umbrella tag for these two tags that happen to have the same word in common", without explaining why it's necessary. A lot of these posts could just as well have been tagged bloody clothes or paint on clothes, and nobody would ask for those tags to be grouped together.

The tag could be useful as a catch-all tag to include things that aren't paint or blood, but also don't constitute their own tag (e.g. sunscreen or ketchup, maybe).

That being said, I do agree that most people looking for most other types of splatter probably aren't looking for blood_splatter, so maybe that implication should be removed.

If we do go this route, then the implication inkblot -> splatter should be added because, as far as I can tell, that's the tag used for ink splatter and black paint splatter.
