The bulk update request #2583 is pending approval.

remove alias gilf (0) -> older_female (19892)
remove alias gmilf (0) -> older_female (19892)

Reason:

This aliasing just doesn't make sense, and isn't in line with the purpose of the older_x tags.

1. Older female like all of the younger/older tags, is a "relative tag", it doesn't actually indicate the character's age. So a post depicting a 35 year old character and her 15 year old daughter would still be tagged as older_female younger_female
2. Older_female implicates age_difference, which makes no sense if the post only depicts the character alone.

Seeing as you can't do anything with an aliased tag until it's unaliased, my idea for a next step would be:

alias gmilf -> elderly_female
alias gilf -> elderly_female 

elderly_female is underused, mature_* should ideally, specifically cover middle aged adults, having more specific age tags is better than combining such a wide age range together.

I actually tried to alias them like 3 years https://e621.net/forum_topics/22344 but I guess it was denied.

I was also the one who started the elderly_female tag in response so I'm glad that other people are using the tag too.

I'm still not sure why gilf and gmilf were aliased to older_female

There are a number of aliases that are pretty inexplicable, they could have just been done on a whim, or before the tags had a better, more useful/more concrete definition. Your alias doesn't look rejected, but nonexistent, maybe when gmilf was aliased to older_female it made your alias proposal invalid because "gmilf" technically didn't exist anymore?

Bumping this, it's been around a year and this alias is likely one of the big culprits for the perennial mistag solo older_female posts.
