Dark [character]

Posted under General

And what about treating this like cosplay, with a general tag like evil_persona/evil_alter_ego and a general-typed tag with the character name and "_(dark)" qualifier?

And speaking of that, I like "dark" more than "evil" for the general tag, too...

I like dark_persona a lot more than evil_persona. Evil is a bit... Well, one can be a dark persona and not be outright evil, I think.

I'm not sure if [character]_(dark) would be a good idea, I guess it would be okay as long as people remember to also put the original character tag (ala cosplay). I just worry that people will forget to do one or the other, "devaluating" the tags. I think that as long as you have the dark_persona and the character tag, it wouldn't be that useful/necessary to have a [character]_(dark), either.

The only purpose of the [character]_(dark) tag would be to specify, in an image depicting multiple characters, which of them has/have "gone dark". I don't know how often this happens, though, or if it justifies such tags.

Cosplay has self-managed as of recently, I think out of the last 50 images I've fixed maybe 5 so people are getting it, in a bizarre twist more people seem to be forgetting the cosplay tag rather than the foo_(cosplay) tag.

As for this, I don't think foo_(dark) would be necessary as dark_persona dual_persona would be enough to cover a character appearing alongside their dark persona.
