Aliasing fap -> masturbation.

Reason: obvious

The two are subjective.
There are several images where the word "fap" is actually used, like the sound effect of a fap. Honestly I think its messy tagging, but aliasing them would be a mistake.

Yes, but a word being used in text is not inherently a good reason for it being used as a tag, and if it's used as a sound effect then the proper tag would be onomatopoeia. There is no proper case where 'fap' should be a tag unless it's being used as a name.

Also, subjective tagging is rather frowned upon. :/

It is frowned upon, greatly, with sticks and hammers. :/
However I'm honestly very fond of the <3 tag.

What smirk? in my corner of the internet :/ is a frown. :( is an actual sad face. It kinda goes :D :) :| :/ :( .... ^_^ exists somewhere around :D and :) and o_o exists off in it's own little world along with :3 c_c and D: (which arguably COULD go at the end of the :/ :( side of the scale, but I see D: as more '....augh!' or '... omg!' rather then 'awww.')

also <3 to the :3 tag too!

as for fap... fap should -> masturbation in 99% of cases...

however, before an alias is made, someone (Goldy?) should go through the fap pool and make sure that all of the images with 'fap' would count as having 'masturbate' on it. As, for example, post #21168 should NOT.

Actually, looking at it, I'd honestly just manually change/delete the fap tag on the 9 pictures, and not worry about aliasing anything.
