Oh. Alright.
 
I just think it feels kind of odd having only crystal fillies for these tags. But I don’t mind because the existence of crystal ponies themselves are also strange, seeing as they are the only official variant of ponies that also have official subvariants.

“Earth filly” is only being used on one image right now and probably won’t be used much, if ever, again. Its use is incredibly specific, and while it would be widely applicable (ie. most images of Apple Bloom), that doesn’t mean it would be a net positive to have. I’m willing to keep “crystal filly” because it already exists and has implications, but I’d rather leave it at that rather than add uselessly specific tags for every combo of pony races and age groups. In addition, sea ponies are pretty ambiguously pony, since you could argue that they aren’t ponies in the same way that IRL seahorses aren’t horses.

@Litrojia  
Okay. So that means it is right to also use “earth filly” and “sea filly” then, but maybe under the renames I suggest. Because those two are referring to earth ponies and seaponies.
 
Yeah, I think it’s a good idea. I must say, I’m not even sure what started to have even non-pony species being called fillies (I thought it was the right terminology because who even thinks that?).

@Algebroot Neogears  
What I’m saying is that crystal ponies are inarguably ponies, meanwhile the others are ambiguously ponies at best. I’d rather not extend the “filly” terminology to creatures where it isn’t clear that’s the right term to use.

So I’m guessing what you are saying would mean “crystal pony”, “sea filly”, “earth filly”, and maybe “dragon filly” are all able to be kept? Because those are what I expect for horses (and I imagine “dragon filly” is intended to be “dracony filly”). Or do they also count as too specific?

(I’m rolling my response to this post and your post in general tag discussion into one reply here)
 
In general, they either seem pointlessly specific or stuff that I think should be aliased into other tags (most notably newborn filly -> baby and the Gameloft ones). “Crystal filly” is borderline for me since crystal ponies have fillies, but “filly” isn’t the right word for non-horses. If that sounds reasonable to you, I’ll get to work on cleaning these tags up.

I first thought some of the “________ filly” tags were only barely used because of neglect. But then I noticed that, unlike crystal filly (which has a good 20 results), none of the tags for other races have implications set, so all have less results than “crystal filly” because of this.
 
sea filly (should it be changed to “seapony filly”?)  
harshfilly  
hippogriff filly  
giant filly  
dragon filly (name is an artifact of “dracony”)  
earth filly (shouldn’t they instead be called “earth pony filly”?)  
human to filly
 
There are also Gameloft titles that aren’t set to anything:  
baker filly  
giddy fanfilly
