The tag implication #52862 anthro_fingering_anthro -> anthro_fingered has been rejected.

Reason: Also anthro_fingering_anthro -> anthro_fingering

EDIT: The tag implication anthro_fingering_anthro -> anthro_fingered (forum #381328) has been rejected by @slyroon.

Should be aliased to one or the other instead. We're trying to avoid more x_verbing_y tags given how many tags it creates from all the possible combinations. The separate x_verbing and y_verbed tags can be used to find the desired combination.

Why not both anthro_fingering and anthro_fingered? I don't want to go through them all a second time.

Unfortunately a tag can't be aliased to two tags, it can only be one or the other.

However, you can just use an(other) implication. This is one of the few cases where x_thing_y makes sense? It feels like this would be heavily used as a shortcut for those two tag group branches (*_fingered/*_fingering). See also: Male_penetrating_female -> male/female, female_penetrated, male_penetrating -> male, female, penetration

Ship kinda done sailed on this one...

The bulk update request #5840 has been rejected.

create implication anthro_fingering_anthro (953) -> anthro_fingering (1035)
create implication anthro_fingering_anthro (953) -> anthro_on_anthro (210341)

Reason: Because there are nearly 1000 results for the combined tag, but only 1 page each for the separate ones. This is clearly a popular enough tag to use as a shortcut.

anthro_fingering_anthro -anthro_on_anthro 451 results without the obvious implication. :/

I think it would be better to just use anthro_penetrating_anthro + fingering rather than this.
AFAIK, the only reason this tag exists is because fingering has been traditionally excluded from penetration, but there's no reason it should be. Fingering is penetration via finger. Just tag it as penetration.

the more i inspect the fingering tags, anthro_fingering_anthro is becoming overly specific and needless tag. we don't have highly specfic tags towards certain body part penetration like anthro_penile_penetrating_anthro for penetration involving penis or anthro_stabbing_anthro because weapons can penetrate body. the list goes on with every verb and object into x_verbing_y to be added for whatever reason.
so making BUR of every fingering tag involving form and/or gender is the option if implication BUR is voted down, including fisting too.

The biggest problem is what scaliespe pointed out - fingering is excluded as penetration right now. I spent ages finally getting fisting to finally count as penetration, and I'm really not willing to take the time to do the same for fingering. With fisting it took forever against the only argument being "Uhh, idk, some admin years ago said it shouldn't count" but fingering actually has real problems like people using it for non-penetrative purposes like clitoral stimulation - but the actual insertion of a finger should definitely count imo.

Is there any chance that we'll have some way to distinguish fully external, and internal fingering in the future? Are we going to have an alias instead of implication for anthro_fingering_anthro?
Clitoral is like prodding and "just the tip" tags, and yeah, it makes no sense that a finger-sized dildo counts but not a finger.

I think I’d like to alias clitoral_fingering to clitoral_rubbing, since that’s all it really is, and reserve fingering exclusively for penetration with a finger.

OK, waiting 5 months again. ;)

clitoral_fingering

I wonder if he is still up for aliasing clitoral_fingering to clitoral_rubbing.
I personally think it's more appropriate.

It seems *_fingering_* clitoral_fingering has some posts.
But most of them are just clitoral_rubbing or actually clitoral_rubbing + vaginal_fingering.
Either way, clitoris is not penetrated on those posts.

I don't think that's going to work, most people won't catch that. Better to have fingering for all fingering activities, and under that finger_penetration or penetrative_fingering.
And something like finger_rubbing for non-penetrative fingering as well.

But is there any non-penetrative fingering that isn’t clitoral? That seems to be the only remotely common non-penetrative use of the term, as far as I’ve seen.

Prostate stimulation through the perineum? Externally rubbing the anus? Playing with the urethra without penetrating it? Angles where it's unclear if there's penetration? Idk if those have tags or are common.

Of course there is, clitoris isn't the only external part of the pussy.

Well yeah, but my point is that this seems to be a very small subset of vaginal_fingering. The vast majority is the penetration kind, so we could probably fairly easily split those off into pussy_rubbing or whatever.
