Tag Alias: virgin -> defloration

Posted under General

Unless the hymen is visibly there, the only way you'd be able to tell from the image whether or not the female in question is actually a virgin would be the ubiquitous deflowering blood.

Kinda defeats the purpose when defloration automatically negates the virgin tag, though.

I move that this tag not be aliased, but rather that it be mass-edited from virgin to defloration wherever defloration is taking place, and that the two tags be mutually exclusive.

The virgin tag is pretty useless for anything else, so I think either keep it the way it is or reverse the alias. There is no point it separating the two if people are still going to be using the virgin tag for defloration and the tag is meaningless beyond this association.

I dunno, I've seen it happen where a perfectly sfw image is tagged virgin. I'm assuming it was done either as a troll, or by some fanboy who can't stand other people not thinking his object of affection is a pure and innocent maiden (and hadn't read the wiki entry on the virgin tag).

Still, I think it's a bit deceiving and, in a way, not specific enough to have the 'virgin' tag be the one used to describe a girl becoming an ex-virgin. defloration is better at being descriptive in all cases the virgin tag is currently properly applied.

I don't think there should be an alias, but a mass edit from virgin to defloration looks appropriate here.

If we're going to do this it almost has to be a reversal of the alias rather than a mass edit. Because virtually nobody is going to think to search for "defloration" to find these images. And there's no real use for "virgin" otherwise.
