Futanari are hermaphrodites who lack balls, so it really should just alias to herm.
As for the tags like futa/dickgirl, that should alias to either dickgirl/herm or intersex/dickgirl, which would then imply intersex/intersex. Aliasing it directly to intersex/intersex is bad for search/blacklist purposes.

This. Futanari refers to a very specific niche of Japanese art and a lot of furries malapropriate it to anything with boobs and a dick but.

Futanari specifically refers to characters with clit penis or a dick above their pussy but no balls on the outside.

The alias is intersex. As such, the alias should apply to / tags as well. The Futa tag may need to be realiased (supposedly it is TWYK), but that is not the point here.

Lack of knowledge when the alias was made doesn't make it so we can't fix the issue.

While we're at it we should re-alias futa to herm specifically because just putting it to intersex is under our current definition incorrect to the term.

So as you propose to change things here. It would really make it a lot harder to fix things later unless that's fixed first.

Reread my edit.

I do not have the time to type right now, I have homework and studying. Make any points that you can think of, and I can get back to them later today.

futa is aliased to intersex because people use it for both dickgirls and herms without caring about if the character has balls or not. aliasing it to herm would cause tons of dickgirls being tagged incorrectly as herms and it would require completely unnecessary amounts of extra work to keep the tags clean just because futa -> herm alias is technically correct.

Now that there are zero images tagged as futa or futanari, I think we should correct the alias and simply report people who tag things wrong. People will either learn, or they'll get banned. Either way, the problem won't last long.
