Topic: Specify Jinu

The bulk update request #12377 is pending approval.

mass update jinu_(character) -> jinu_(jinu)

Reason: All of the posts tagged as such seem to be referring to the meowth/cat/opossum fursona of the artist of the same name.

It’s kind of a pseudo-style guide kinda thing that the character tag just says (character) to go, “oh, this character is meant to be this artist’s sona,” in a way, because both the artist and character tags use the same name.
Also, just saying Jinu (Jinu) just kinda sounds… I dunno, for lack of better term, dumb and redundant.

yeah, but there are instances of the name being used for other characters.mspecifying that it's the Jinu that belongs to the artist Jinu, and not the one owned by someone else would be helpful.

Particularly bc there's a relatively recent animated movie with a main character named Jinu (KPOP Demon Hunters), I think Jinu (Jinu) or Jinu (sona) make sense to preemptively establish.

Well, then yeah, it’d make better sense to just say Jinu (sona) then? That I think would work

Who is this Sona? It would be better to fully spell out persona, which would be a better choice than fursona as they are certainly capable of depicting their character as a human or other nonfurry. Even so, hypothetically-speaking, should they ever decide to retire that character as their persona in favor of another, we'd be right back to where we are now.

However, if one looks at their social media, galleries, Patreon, and so on, one will see the full name they use is JinuSenpai. We can use that.

A suggested BUR to convert the artist Jinu and their characters to JinuSenpai:

update jinu -> jinusenpai
update jinu_(character) -> jinu_(jinusenpai)
update hypebae_(jinu) -> hypebae_(jinusenpai)
update judy_(jinu) -> judy_(jinusenpai)
update june_(jinu) -> june_(jinusenpai)
update kadyn_(jinu) -> kadyn_(jinusenpai)
update katthy_(jinu) -> katthy_(jinusenpai)
update lili_(jinu) -> lili_(jinusenpai)
update sen_(jinu) -> sen_(jinusenpai)
update skylar_(jinu) -> skylar_(jinusenpai)
update zell_(jinu) -> zell_(jinusenpai)

Honestly, yeah, that’ll work
