So recently it came to my attention that this tag was apparently swapped over to species. I'd like to draw attention to something.

There're two different images where pinata as a species tag is an issue, post #346283 and post #322815 respectively display a pinata that only appears to be an object, and a pinata that's just shaped like an ass, as opposed to an animal or a more anthropomorphic form.

Shouldn't there be separate tags for this? There are already separate tags for nonliving goo (slime) vs living goo (goo), and normal plants (plant) vs anthropomorphic ones. (flora_fauna)

One problem: we have characters like The Quick Brown Fox that are often (if not always) depicted as piñatas.

I'm not entirely sure what that has to do with what I'm bringing up?

The issue is that the same tag is being apparently used for both living and mundane pinatas, and there's already least one species tag that distinguishes between living and non-living forms.

Isn't that what the purpose of animate inanimate is? If necessary, we can also tag living pinata.

Having living_piñata and piñata as different tags seems kind of silly when there's so few posts of either, but I suppose it does make more sense than having everything under one tag.

That sounds like a good idea.

The situation kind of asks for this to happen, since tags can only be of 1 type at a time.

wow are you racist against piñatas? #piñatalivesmatter
I'm joking.

I prefer more species tags like this. piñata_(object), piñata_(species), or living_piñata should be used to separate the two groups. Alias pinata and piñata to the object one.
