BUR #50076 is pending approval.
mass update Scream_(movie) Dead_by_Daylight Ghostface -> -Scream_(movie)
If anyone doesn't know (don't blame you if you don't it's a rather odd situation) DBD's Ghostface is licensed/based on the Funworld mask, Just like how Scream licensed out the mask back in the day, IE DBD Ghostface has nothing to do with Scream as a series, so the tag should be removed from his art.

It's by far the weirdest case when it comes to copytagging I've seen lol, TLDR Ghostface is technically speaking his own IP that Scream licensed, DBD licensed it as well, DBD did not license Scream. Do with that as you may lol.
I haven't played DBD so I'm not going to vote just some thoughts.
I think if this goes through it'd be weird to have a singular character tag divided between two copyrights, apparently there are visual differences on the coat, in practice I don't know if that matters or if it'd be worth dividing the tag in the event this goes through.
My other thought is that when people search for Scream (Movie) they are indeed looking for the character of Ghostface with his their cheap mask the fact that he is a borrowed character doesn't really matter to most I'd assume and given the plot of the movies I think a wider tag is desirable.
I also admittedly find this pedantic. It'd be like tagging Captain Kirk on Michael Myers's art because that mask is just William Shatner's face. For the purposes of pure searchability I find the suggestion weird, but again not a DBD player, maybe the fact that it's not the "same" Ghostface does make a difference.

DBD Ghostface is farly visually distinct TBF as his outfit is supposed to look more, for lack of a better word, professional, post #7351163 Regardless of how it goes there needs to be some verdict here as it's rather odd to say the least (Fortnite's Ghostface skin is also licensed from Funworld, rather then Scream so there will be more cases like this)
