its a franchise of consoles
thought it would make sense but i could remove them

Tagging video game consoles as franchises would be the same as calling vhs_player, dvd_player, blueray_player all different franchises...

It's not. It's a support media, and again has zero value to elevate that tag's importance on the same level as its fictional universe. Franchise tags even shows up "above" the character's name category tag, hence why it should be used sparringly. What next? Is Netflix a franchise? Amazon prime? CD-ROM?

It still has that pointless "name_of_nintendo_console" -> nintendo. Why is it useful?

In the other BUR, your only point of defending the nintendo implication was that some users would find it useful to have the nintendo tag as a search query for any "nintendo characters" it contain, regardless of franchise, which is somewhat a defendable opinion, but that I already stated that I disagreed with it. Forcing company name/copyright implication is not a good way to do it. Tag it yourself if you care about adding tags that only you find useful, but don't force its use on every other user here.

And now it is needed for what? To also search for any nintendo console that happens to be visible in the image, regardless of if it has any nintendo characters from the franchise in the post? You want to use the nintendo tag to either search for a nintendo console or nintendo characters? Both? It doesn't respect the "Tag what you see" for general tags, and nintendo should definitely be a general tag because it's not a franchise. You want a broader tag to include all nintendo consoles, then add nintendo_console as a parent tag to all the different consoles instead. Nintendo a concert/brand name more than anything. From my point of view, there's no point of porting the concept of copyright back on e6ai and just "pretend" it's not a copyright tag. My request is that any user are free to use copyright tags such as nintendo if they like, but keep it out of forced implications.

What if I want to use it in my negative filters... "Eww, nintendo characters, don't want to see that." *Puts nintendo in the negative search query or blacklist.* But then it ends up blocking posts that has 2 non-copyrighted nintendo characters that just hapens to be gaming on a visible nintendo console... It missed the target of being useful here because it is too broad and ends up blocking more content that a regular user would expect by using it in the negatives.
