Topic: Tag alias: bottom -> butt

It's mainly used for top/bottom roles, such as:

So aliasing it to butt wouldn't work.

We can use on_bottom, or submissive for those. Either that, or the tag needs major cleanup.

Yep.
I think it's an another candidate for invalid_tag, after the clean up. Seems like top also requires major cleaning.

ensure shirts are tagged, then alias to invalid?

I'm in full support of this. I'm in full support of your alias, Genjar.

Alright I cleaned up what could and they are ready to be aliased if no one disagrees

Also post #40692 This is a literal top, like the spinning toy, which I think should be tagged as spinning_top, to disambiguate

Toy_tops perhaps? Since whether they are spinning or not cannot always be determined.

I think spinning_top fits better, cause really toy_top sounds kinda weird

Spinning top is literally the name of the toy, whether it's spinning it not.

I've literally never heard them called that. Probably because it sounds stupid and redundant. I've only ever heard them called tops, ever. Looking at dictionaries, they seem to agree that it's just called a 'top', though the specific variant where you spin it by hand is noted as a spinning top; looking into it further, since it actually made me curious, there is a whole subcatagorization for tops, based on how you use them or their shapes- whipping tops, spinning tops, peg tops, dreidels, rattlebacks, gyroscopic tops, tippe tops, levitating tops, battling tops, perinolas, bambarams... Jebus. Lot of different kinds of tops.

And I still say they should all just be labelled under top_(toy). Since they all are toys that are tops, regardless of shape or method of use.

All of which in one way or the other spin, so I'd prefer we used spinning_top
The only real reason is because it's a more likely tag to be added by users and I'd like to cut down on as many tags with parentheses are possible, as most don't think to add them when they are tagging

But that's not the point, I cleaned up the tags best I could and will probably alias both to invalid unless I can think of a better tag to have them go to
