Should "daddy" really alias to "father"?

It seems like a lot of people tag "daddy" when they mean "muscular/dominant/mature male"

or when the literal text "daddy" appears

These posts end up flooding the "father" tag with a lot of irrelevant posts. I imagine the "mommy" and "mother" tags have a similar situation. Would it be reasonable to make "daddy" alias to "daddy_(disambiguation)" so this doesn't happen? I occasionally rectify erroneous "father" tags, but more pop up pretty frequently, which is pretty disheartening.

The bulk update request #2163 is active.

remove alias daddy (0) -> father (0)
remove alias mommy (0) -> mother (0)

Reason: As mentioned by BrokenClock in topic #32816, it seems like many people erroneously tag father by trying to tag daddy. Since father implies parent, this is more work to clean up. The proposal is therefore to move it to daddy_(disambiguation) so it's less work to clean up.

To be followed by

alias daddy -> daddy_(disambiguation)
category daddy_(disambiguation) -> invalid
alias mommy -> mommy_(disambiguation)
category mommy_(disambiguation) -> invalid

EDIT: The bulk update request #2163 (forum #329488) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

An alias to daddy_(disambiguation) sounds appropriate to me. And father should be moved to the lore category, if I understand the lore category right.

That's right, but for some reason the lore category is programmed to only accept tags that end in *_(lore). Since father (as well as other "family member" tags) already has several relationships in place, all of those need to be cleared up first in order to allow the tag to be renamed.

Should mommy be included in this? Like BrokenClock mentioned, the tag seems like it's suffering from the same problem.
