Topic: Tag implication: female_rape -> rape

Posted under General

As it currently stands, the "female_rape" tag's usage, is for when a female is raping somebody. This implication makes perfect sense, to me.

-1 for the ambiguous name, especially considering the other genders. 'Male rape' is a commonly used term for rape of males.

Should be tagged as female_rapist or rape_by_female instead.

That sounds like a good idea. I'll offer my 0 to this; if it gets aliased to one of those tags first then that tag can get implied.

Implication and a name update for male_rape and female_rape makes sense, but since they’re so underused, it might be better to just alias them to rape and use male_domination or female_domination.

same stance, female_rape and male_rape is lingual gymnastics and sounds like the reverse meaning of what is, and should be aliased to one of aforementioned tags.

See also topic #14737 doing the same thing. Or topic #32124 that has a BUR that wants to introduce x_raping_y tags.

I agree that female_rape is misleading and vague, and it's not clear if the female is being raped or doing the raping (much like x_domination not being clear if x is doing the dominating or the one being dominated, necessitating the change to the dominant_x format). So if it's useful to indicate what is doing the raping, aliasing to female_rapist would be the way to go (similar for male, gynomorph, andromorph, herm, maleherm, intersex, ambiguous, feral, anthro, human, humanoid, taur...).

Also, bump. Since someone made a ticket asking for the tag to implicate rape, I suppose it's worth bringing up again.
