Reason:

Rationale

• Penis_nuzzling is rubbing part or all of the face against a penis. This tag already has a couple other implications, for penis and for nuzzling; however, it should also imply penis_in_face. Whenever the face and the penis are in contact, that will always be penis_in_face.

• While users have generally coalesced into using the penis_in_face tag for penis-in-face situations, this hasn't yet happened for bulge-in-face situations.

• Mirroring how penis_in_face implies penis, bulge_in_face should imply bulge. Mirroring how penis_nuzzling implies penis and nuzzling, bulge_nuzzling should imply bulge and nuzzling.

• Just as penis_nuzzling should imply penis_in_face, bulge_nuzzling should imply bulge_in_face.

• Several other phrases exist to describe a bulge against a face. The aliases in this BUR take care of those errant tags.

* bulge_worship is an ambiguous phrase which isn't consistent with TWYS. The specific action (e.g., bulge nuzzling, bulge fondling, or dialogue) should be tagged instead.

• bulge_worship now implies bulge, as there must be a bulge for the bulge to be worshipped.

• bulge_worship now implies genital_worship. Worshipping clothed genitals is still worshipping genitals. If/when bulk update request #2472 (topic #33669) goes through, this shall also make bulge_worship imply body_worship.

• bulge_in_mouth is an occasionally-used tag which seems to be applied in contradictory ways. The tag should be made invalid to encourage users to use either bulge_suck or cheek_bulge instead.

• bulgejob is a fairly rare tag, but it's also better to invalidate it now. The term has cropped up on FA a few times, but it always seems to depict a different act (licking a throat bulge, giving a handjob through the stomach, and sucking on someone's bulge, to name a few).

Other cases

I'd love some input on these two tags. I can make a separate BUR or I can append these to the initial BUR if consensus is achieved.

• bulge_sniffing - Should it be kept as its own separate thing and imply underwear_sniffing? Should it alias to bulge_in_face or bulge_nuzzling?

• bulge_on_head - Is this useful as a distinct tag from bulge_in_face? Occasionally, the bulge is on top of the head -- but not in the face, per se.

EDIT #1 (2023/07/01):
Incorporates the sensible feedback from cloudpie:
bulge_worship now implies bulge in the BUR. Under "Other cases", it's clear that bulge_sniffing shouldn't imply underwear_sniffing.

EDIT #2 (2023/07/05):
bulge_worship now implies genital_worship. Also, bulgejob is now moved to the invalid category.

Bulge sniffing shouldn't imply underwear because it could be a pants bulge or latex suit bulge or something.

The rest looks mostly fine I think, except imo bulge_worship should stay as it mirrors cock_worship which is an established tag. It's a theme of the image. Bulge_nuzzling and etc. could imply it as an umbrella tag perhaps.

Thanks for calling my attention to penis_worship!

I will update my BUR to keep it, and just have it imply bulge -- though I hesitate to make it implied by bulge_nuzzling or other tags, since I can easily imagine situations in which a character is nuzzling a bulge without worshipping it (e.g., whilst in the middle of a particularly vivid dream).

I had no idea that cock_worship existed, which is weird since ass_worship has been aliased to invalid_tag...

edit: splitting to topic #39252 to avoid derailing this one.

Update (2023/07/05):
bulge_worship now implies genital_worship. Worshipping clothed/covered genitals is still worshipping genitals. For more information, please see topic #33669, which covers bulk update request #2472.

Also, bulgejob is now moved to the invalid category. It's presently tagged on only one image, but the term crops up occasionally on other furry websites and it's better to proactively deal with this ambiguous term by invalidating it.

Bulge doesn't imply genitals, so I don't think bulge_worship should imply genital_worship. A character could be worshiping the bulge itself, rather than the genitals causing the bulge.

That is sensible. I'll remove that implication from the BUR on my next round of revisions.

Do you think bulge_worship should imply body_worship? The bulge is not part of the body, per se, but to me, a picture of a character worshipping a bulge certainly seems to be a picture of a character engaged in body worship as opposed to any other kind of worship (e.g., spiritual worship).

My instinct would be to say no, for the same reason.
