Separating Zundamon (UTAU) from Zundamon (Voicevox)?

Posted under Tags

BUR #37462 has been approved by @evazion.

mass update favgroup:40899 -> zundamon_(utau)

Since Zundamon's UTAU / mascot form design is pretty much a completely different character compared to the more popular Voicevox design everybody knows and loves I thought of creating a tag to separate them. I figured a BUR would be a good way to see how many people would agree/disagree with this choice. An alt solution would be to add personification to posts featuring the voicevox design (For context: her UTAU debuted in 2014 and therefore the mascot design came first, the design people are more familiar with came out in 2021 and is meant to be her human form.) but the human design has become so closely associated with Zundamon that it's the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks about her and I'm not too sure that'd be a good idea.

Not sure if her UTAU/mascot form should imply Zundamon since they often appear together as separate characters.

Having separate characters imply each other shouldn't by itself be a problem since vocal synths are full of this. Plenty of posts with Hatsune Miku appearing together with any number of her own derivatives. Or more commonly Kasane Teto appearing together with Kasane Teto (SV).

The only problem I see is someone searching Zundamon but not wanting to see Zundamon (UTAU), which shouldn't really be a problem at all with only 71 Zundamon (UTAU) posts at present and only 24 in the last 12 months.
