Why do you think “derpicorn” should automatically imply “xk-class end-of-the-world scenario”?
Not all “Starlight Glimmer” images are “glimmerbetes” … do you think that the tag “glimmerbetes” shouldn’t ever be used if it’s not automatically implied?
I think you may be misreading what I said (or perhaps I didn’t make it clear enough). I
don’t think that “derpicorn” should automatically imply that tag. I was just trying to say that I find it odd that Starlight’s
does automatically imply it when an alicorn version of the klutzy, accident prone Derpy doesn’t and (
as I pointed out earlier) the alicorn versions of Trixie and Sunset, who have arguably more canonical reasons to imply that tag than Starlight, do not either.
Seriously, I don’t have any issues with joke tags. I just find the automatic implication that alicorn Starlight means the end of all things kind of strange.

so your “compelling argument” against it is “a perfect stranger who has an opinion that bothers me enjoys a thing so i want to take that thing away to retaliate”.
this is how you ask people to do something on your behalf that they don’t have to do and, along with many others, don’t necessarily
wish to do?
…Ok, let me try and clarify this.
Your initial comment, which I took (perhaps erroneously, if so that’s on me and I apologize for it) as an argument for maintaining the alicorn Starlight tag’s implied connection to the “xk-class end-of-the-world scenario” tag, was because you find the pairing “funny and amusing”. And my comment was intended to convey that I do not find your amusement at the tag combination all that good a reason, considering that you often cannot seem to even mention the character without including some type of derogatory comment. I was not in any way trying to say that the implied tag should be taken away because you “a perfect stranger who has an opinion that bothers me” enjoys it and I want to retaliate against you. I just think that as far as arguments for maintaining the connection is concerned, “it amuses this guy who constantly expresses his dislike of the character” is a pretty poor one.
