Topic: Tag Alias: exhibitionist -> exhibitionism

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing exhibitionist -> exhibitionism.

Reason: Same thing, exhibitionism however does not imply the person is specifically exhibitionist (for whatever quirky reason: accident, mind control, whatever, ...). Exhibitionist can't exist outside of exhibitionism due to tag-what-you-see.

Sound reasoning to me Wyrm.

If exhibitionism does not imply that the character is an exhibitionist, then this should NOT be an alias. It should be an implication.

An exhibitionist suggests that there is an act of exhibition going on. That is to say, there is a character in this picture who is having sex, or displaying himself in public and enjoying it, obviously. You can't tell if someone enjoys such things without an act of exhibitionism occuring. However, acts of exhibitionism do not necessarily require that the characters involved be exhibitionists.

that said, there is an arguement that exhibitionist should be used to demark a character who clearly is enjoying the public sex act... however, exhibitionist had, I believe only been used on a handful of images (actually, as I look through my tagging history, about 5 images, and all of those were deleted images..) and wasn't used in any way to be 'differnet' from exhibitionism.

That said, I would support a tag used to describe someone who was a less willing participant in an exhibitionistic act-- unwilling_exhibitionist, reluctant_exhibitionist, etc.

also, this has been posted for 2 months and the only person who cared said "hey, sounds good." -_-
