Privileged

Older is relative and doesn't always mean adult. A teenager/adolescent on child would qualify for older_on_cub, but not be adult_on_young.

Considering that cub was any anthro/feral/taur character up to age 18, the tag name does imply that the other character is an adult. If it’s just an older young character with a younger cub, that’s just young_on_young + age_difference. There’s no logical reason to specify "older on cub" unless the "older" is beyond the threshold of cub.

In any case, cub has been deprecated, so this tag needs to go. I think adult_on_young is probably the closest valid tag that we have.

It's not the same thing, but it's not a useful tag either imo and it should be done away with, same with older on young. older_on_cub/young is just a combination of adult_on_young and teenager_on_child (and I guess teenager_on_baby and child_on_baby as well), young age_difference accomplishes almost the exact same thing. I've gone ahead and cleared out the few instances of older_on_cub where adult_on_young wouldn't apply so the alias is good to go through now.
