What is the point of having both a rape tag and forced tags? They have practically the same meaning, so why not use only one of them?

forced could be used also for something like forcefeeding or kissing someone against their will and so on. all forced situations are not rape but all rape is forced.

i recommend checking out the wiki of the tag before making thread questioning things that are answered in the wiki

Being forced doesn't mean you're being raped. Being forced means that the "victim" appears against what's being done to him/her.

It could be bondage, it could be vore, it could be being stepped on, it could be gore.

all I see is the exact definition of rape, minus the "...or nonsexual)"

I'm all for replacing forced with the questionable_consent tag

Given the current implication of forced_oral and reverse_forced_oral to forced, I oppose aliasing forced to questionable_consent. We might want to get rid of those implications or redefine forced, since those tags are used for restricted movement (e.g. hand on head) at least as much as they are used for questionable consent.

There's also forced_partners which arguably is not rape either.
