remove alias labia_minora (279) -> pussy (896144)
Reason: The labia minora are a prominent part of the female reproductive organ, and yet (on a heavily pornographic website) we have no reliable way of finding it. The tag itself is aliased to pussy for some unfathomable reason, as if they were the same thing (they’re not), so we can’t simply search for the part itself as we would for anything else. You could try searching pussy -cleft_of_venus, but cleft_of_venus is tagged so rarely (and may not always be applicable even when the labia minora are not visible, such as in animal_pussy cases) that the results are very poor. After all, it’s easier to remember to tag something that’s there rather than something that isn’t there.
Long_labia faces the same issue of being severely undertagged - but even still, it’s usually not applicable in spreading or gaping cases, so it’s still not a useful substitute.
Furthermore, sometimes artists may simply not draw this part, even when it would be visible. It’s common enough to note, and cleft_of_venus can’t account for those as they might be gaping. Then there’s the fact that some animal species don’t even have labia minora, so you can’t say it’s synonymous with pussy.
By comparison, we can still tag all the individual parts of the male reproductive organ. Penis, balls, glans, foreskin, and frenulum are all separate tags. Even frenulum? Really? We can tag the often nearly imperceptible band of skin beneath the glans, but not one of the most prominent features of female genitalia?
I believe it is time to rectify this. Once this is approved, we can have the tag imply pussy instead, and we can also discuss re-establishing subtags such as the various (color)_labia tags that have also been aliased away.
