The tag alias #60570 staring_into_eyes -> eye_contact has been approved.

Reason: genuinely the same thing, staring into eyes is unpopular tag in terms of looking at eyes. additional argument for staring_at_viewer -> looking_at_viewer alias

EDIT: The tag alias staring_into_eyes -> eye_contact (forum #354360) has been approved by @slyroon.

There was one single post that should've been looking_at_viewer instead (fixed now) but I can't imagine this causing any more mistags than eye_contact itself, and they are the same thing. +1

The looking_at_each_other tag should be unaliased from eye_contact, though. In a picture where two characters are staring at each others' butts or genitalia, it is looking at each other, but not eye contact.

A bit of a joke argument, but what about this?

One is staring into another's eyes, but the other is avoiding eye contact with the other. Therefore no eye contact.

yeah! a bit double-edged sword. sometimes, characters won't really look directly into other's eyes, usually either nose, hair, neck, all that relatable neurodivergent scenerio haha

i can totally see that... but before your argument, all other staring_at_eyes posts were only looking into the eyes, pupils per se. twys on the post, the character looks like it's staring at other's eyelids/eyebrows... for a benefit, your argument definitely supports urielfrys' argument too or even "looking_at_eyes" tag? x]

Ye I can see "looking_at_eyes" functioning better, +1 for that idea.

Using "+Looking_at_eyes +eye_focus ~looking_away ~looking_up +nervous" would probably be enough to find this picture I used as example.
