For the past few months, scat has been aliased to feces, and while I do understand this change, I feel as if this information was not made apparent to enough people, as blacklists are apparently no longer functioning properly according to certain comments. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Because from what I know, blacklist works similar to tags in where tags that are within it, when changed, are typically auto aliased as long as they are aliased to the previous tag. But I am not entirely sure how tag alias works so do correct me if I am incorrect

scat was only supposed to be used for coprophilia, but it was widely misused for any depiction of feces. When scat was updated to scatplay (before being aliased to feces) the blacklist would've been adjusted as such, ultimately resulting in the same thing as before.

The difference now is that the tags are used more correctly, so there's plenty of non-coprophilia depictions of feces that are now being shown to people that only have "scatplay" on their blacklist. They should blacklist feces too.

In hindsight, feces should've been appended to the blacklist of anybody blacklisting scat at that point in time since very few people actually knew what the distinction was supposed to be at the time, but the opportunity for that has probably been missed now.

Thank you so much for your response. I felt very much in the dark about the information about the tag change, I wasnt even aware of the process you described
