There still seems to be some dispute over whether we should have these tags at all.

topic #36227

The bulk update request #4426 is active.

Reason: Rubber -> latex part 1.1

After months (over a year) of debating on topic #31106 and topic #36227 , we have come to the conclusion that everything rubber-related should be aliased to latex-related tags.

Many users agree that latex is a more commonly used term to describe both the fetish as well as clothing made of such material. Despite the fact that rubber and latex are different by true definition, they are still viewed as similar by the community, with the majority using the term latex.

~~~~~~~~~

I would like to thank everyone for sticking around and providing various insightful arguments. Never thought this would get so much attention.

I also would like to apologize to the entirety of e621 — users and staff — for initially causing a huge mess regarding the two tags. I want to make up for it.

create alias rubber_knee_boots (0) -> latex_knee_boots (8)
create alias rubber_thigh_boots (0) -> latex_thigh_boots (371)

Reason: Rubber -> latex part 1.2

P.S.

Some aliases (such as rubber -> latex) will not be possible at the moment due to the tags having aliases and implications already. New BURs will be made in the foreseeable future to fix this (that is if the current BURs will be approved)

Just a reminder: the ‘latex ≠ rubber’ discussions (topic #31106 and topic #36227 ) have concluded and many users have voted for the latex tag to be used.

so just to clarify, rubber is being aliased to latex therefore not invalidating my work?

Yes. Rubber will be aliased to latex.
Your work is valid 👍
