The bulk update request #4574 is pending approval.

create alias riding_dildo (604) -> dildo_insertion (23232)
create alias riding_toy (242) -> sex_toy_insertion (45349)

Reason: Redundant tags that lack implications, and liable to make riding more mis-tagged.

There is some exception with riding_toy, six posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) use it to portray a character riding a playground toy, but these could be switched to just riding or whatever applicable if this were approved.

Apologies for double thread, I've now been informed of being able to edit the script.

Removing riding_toy from characters riding literal toys/inflatables/swings/etc would make sense to me.

Riding itself already seems to be a mess, though. Many posts have it tagged for anal/vaginal penetration by dildos or penises, rather than what it's supposed to be. The wiki even says, "Often mistagged." Perhaps a disambiguation is in order for that.

Definitely. There is PLENTY of people tagging wrong, and it's understandable due to being a pretty common phrase. This does come with a question of if we carry out this plan, do we go with specifying what they are riding? Or do we split it between sexual and non-sexual riding? There's also the thought of IF we split it like the latter, that means aliasing these now is a headache in the tags later.

Tags are fun.

I don't see a need for a tag for "sexual riding", since that's basically just penetration. I'd just disambiguate the "riding" tags and make a separate tag for non-sexual riding activities (that's clearly named to be for transportation, and not sex).

As far as I know we don't currently have a (valid) tag for the pose where someone is penetrated from below in an upright sitting position, which I can imagine being a very popular search. We should probably sort that out before deleting en masse.

The number of results for riding cowgirl_position alone suggests there is demand for a few implications to be made.
