I agree with this. Adding a permission to remove a character in the same manner that they have to have permission to add a character would be most beneficial to all parties involved.
Hi! I'm a big fan of the tagging system on toyhouse- I think it's really fun to go through and tag your friends' characters in pictures they're in! But there's a pretty serious loophole...
If I tag someone's OC in a picture, they are then given editing rights to the image, where they can add their own description, set their own crop, etc... But they are also allowed to delete the image from my gallery.
All they have to do is go to where the tags are, and delete my OC from the tags, and the image is completely wiped from that OC's gallery..!!
In this picture here, I have tagged a friend's OC, Haruka, and I have the ability to delete Haruka's tag from the image. Which is innocuous enough, but if I delete the tag, it removes the entire image from her gallery. And because their OC is tagged here, they have access to this on their side as well, so they are able to delete my OC Haruhi's tag as well, and completely remove the image from her gallery.
This can pave the way for a lot of people to spitefully delete images from someone's gallery without permission should their OC be tagged, or even for someone to mistakenly delete images from their gallery because they don't know that removing the tag removes the image...
If an OC has like 10 images, it should be easy enough to find out which one got deleted and replace it.... But if an OC has a lot of art, it can be a big hassle trying to track down which image was deleted so you can reupload it.
I definitely think that people should be able to delete tags if they aren't involved with the people they're tagging anymore, but they shouldn't be able to delete what's in someone else's gallery when they do so..!

+1 because I had NO idea and, while I save back-ups of all the art that my friends commission of our characters together, I do NOT like the idea of anybody else being able to delete images from my gallery like this. Especially because it's ABSOLUTELY a feature that's ripe to be abused by vindictive ex-friends and other members of the adoptables community with whom you've had a disagreement or a falling out.
returning with my support on this. found out someone removed my character from an image, and thus from my gallery like yesterday
luckily i had the image backed up and just reuploaded it privately/hidden but if i didnt have it i wouldve been really upset. it was a drawing id done as well
