It's due to magical girl tagging rules generally being to keep them separate due to the magical girl forms not acting like their civilian forms.
...And also avoiding needing cosplay negations.
What are some examples? I dont know that many magical girl shows. I've watched Sailor Moon and watch Precure. The girls personalities in Sailor Moon change slightly I guess at times but Sailor Moon is still tagged with Tsukino Usagi. Precure characters never change personality between cure form and civilian form. Who is the basis for this rule then?
As for the cosplay tagging stuff, isnt it just pretty much the same. post #7974954 is Sukuna and Gojo cosplaying Cure Black and Cure White. Now if Cure forms were implication tags, this post would also be tagged with Misumi Nagisa and Yukishiro Honoka. After all, Cure Black and White are Nagisa and Honoka really.
Now post #6265813 is a character cosplaying as Toki's bunny alt in blue archive. It is definitely meant to be Toki's costume, so even the implication character tag of Toki is present.
The point is, is it just hard rule that magical girl forms are their own separate entity even though they dont seem to be treated as such by tagging here? I see them more as costumes. If they arent costumes, shouldnt we actually be not allowing civilian forms to be tagged in images where only cure form is drawn?
