Topic: [REJECTED] Tag alias: rubber_clothing -> latex_clothing

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Can you even do that? Rubber is also being used as a term for soft-pvc foil and other shiny synthetic materials here afaik (which I hate but which is technically correct, lots of pooltoy images tagged with "rubber")

- Latex is a rubber
- Not all rubbers are latex

IIRC there's been considerations that specific material tags are difficult because "but you can't even tell the difference from looking at artwork" at some point

I personally think it's a bit bollocks because maybe *that guy* can't tell, but someone into it/into the subject matter very likely can in most cases.

Rubber is being aliased to latex and it has already started over at topic #41117.

Ah, of course. Missed it, unfortunate decision imo but it is what it is I guess :l
