Topic: Tag Alias: questionable_consent -> dubious_consent

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I'm not sure that I see the point of this alias, or really either of these tags for tagging purposes since it's something that's difficult to tag objectively to begin with.

Dubcon sounds more like an EDM festival to me :V

Dubious is a word I use a lot in everyday small talk but in some regions of the English speaking world it is less know and I have had to translate it to questionable.

e621 usually aliases to whichever tag has more posts. "questionable_consent" has some posts. "dubious_consent" does not. So the alias, if any, would be on the other way.

This. "questionable" is more likely to pop into my head when thinking about the subject. Though if "dubious" doesn't even have posts, why is it even an option here, aside from "fanfiction circles" which don't have much say in logic here?

We should create the tag querbious_consent and have the best of both worlds ;)

-1. It should obviously be dubtional_consent.

But seriously, since this isn't being used and changing names doesn't really clarify usage, I'm going to deny this one.
