Topic: Tag Implication: siamese_twins -> conjoined

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Shouldn't we be using the term conjoined_twins in general? Also what about the case of amalgam characters. That could sometimes fit under the conjoined label but theyre not necessarily "twins"

Probably, AFAIK Siamese is just related to Thailand and conjoined is the condition, but was popularized due to one case of this.

However, I don't see any problem with mix and match/multi characters, just tag them with hybrid, x_heads, x_legs, x_arms, x_tails, multi_body, etc. But it feels a little like this has to be tagged conjoined on a per post basis.

+1 to aliasing to conjoined_twins instead.
