All specific feral_[animal] tags are aliased to [animal], why? There's a_cat_is_fine_too for cats

That's what the feral tag is for. Just like there's no anthro_[animal]. There'd be way too many tags if each species tag got a feral_ and anthro_equivalent.

That is for a specific meme, as it implicates meme. It should not be used for random feral felines in sexual situations. As its wiki states:

Originally a meme originating from a page in the comic That's Why I Assault Ren:

Note: The more this gets tagged for random felines, the more likely it is to get invalidated. Stick to meme-related content if you wish to keep the tag.

And honestly, looking at the search results and seeing applied to so much feline content that has nothing to do with the meme (even after I had tried to remove it from various posts that aren't meme-related), it looks to be high time to invalidate it. Remove the meme implication and change it to the Invalid category. Then a tagging project to remove meme from posts that got that tag in error, as well as the invalid tag.

I have to agree with Watsit; went through first two pages of images tagged with it, and a lot had nothing to do with anything sexual, or were tagged on images depicting sex between two cats. Plus at least one image had turned into a tag war slap fight, judging from the history. People obviously aren’t using it properly, so get rid of it. Hard to have “fun” tags when people can’t even tag obvious things like mammal or My Little Pony, let alone character names.
