Killing Color Streak Tags 3.0

If we have to have tags like this, I find this version acceptable due to the actual versatility (so you're not stuck with highly granular streaks of hair). But I'm not terribly happy about it.

I like the idea of X_accented_hair tags. Though I think it might make sense to keep the streak tags separate and have them imply the accent colors instead of it being an alias. Then all of the various streaks/tips/inner_hair/etc. tags could implicate their respective accent color tag.

That would defeat the whole point in the first place. No one actually cares about streak colors. They care about it taking up the main hair tags. If we have to have them, I'd rather they be aliased to have actual utility.

Tbh I don't mind the idea behind a tag like red-accented_hair but it does sound incredibly dumb as a tag, even if it's accurate and descriptive.

The obvious solution is just to not tag blue hair when a character doesn't have blue hair. But apparently we can't have that, so here we are.

This is why I suggested mostly_x_hair in the first place. It's as you say - because of the userbase's autistic propensity to tag every color no matter what, expecting them to suddenly stop tagging post #9684835 with blue_hair is foolhardy at best. As such, it's something we simply have to work around, and x_streaks is not a solution for this because streaks are not the only means of multicolored hair (post #8300140, post #9496859 etc).

Both mostly_x_hair and x-accented_hair will deal with this problem, so it's really just a matter of preference between the two. While x-accented_hair requires a negative to search for majority hair colors (red_hair -red-accented_hair, for example), it also allows users to search for the specific accent color too.
