The tag alias #72119 female_rape -> female_rapist is pending approval.

Reason: The former tag is somewhat ambiguous at first glance whether it refers to a female being raped or a female doing the raping. Changing the tag to refer to the person clears this up.

Though I agree something needs to be done with these tags, whether it's mass updating all of them to rape then aliasing them over, or just aliasing them over, they are way too ambiguous to be useful.

My proposal would be:
1. Collect all the gender_rape tags into a set (or two depending on how many uses there are)
2. Mass update all gender_rape -> rape
3. Alias all gender_rape -> gender_rapist
4. Create the implication for those to rape and their gender
5. Setup a tag project on the set to correct them adding the appropriate gender_rapist tag, tagme.dev would make it simple
6. Discuss whether gender_raped is a tag set that would be worth anything, mainly to avoid x_raping_y situations where x_rapist y_raped would suffice.

I thought they were:
female_raped
female_raping

The female_rape tag is certainly confusing.
"Rapist" sounds a bit too personal to the character, while a tag should explain what is displayed in the most simple way. Which "raping" would fit better.
More importanty, if the content of the post talks/implies about someone being a rapist, you could be confused and tag it as "female_rapist", since it would technally fit. But the situations are different.

the x_rapist format also has at least a few cases with similar ambiguity problems, which would mean x_raping would be preferable.

Hmm, ~1K results. I feel like we went through a lot of these already in related projects, but they should be revisited.
