alias codpiece -> crotch_plate

create alias codpiece -> crotch_plate

They appear to be for the same thing. I guess technically a codpiece is worn over the pants, but the tag is not being used like that right now.

Currently the actual codpieces consist of Izanagi (Persona 4) and Magus_(Chrono_Trigger) examples, plus a few renaissance costumes. Mostly undertagged. The rest are crotch plates and... that strange strap-on/penis sheath thingy that Lunaluna (Queen's Blade) wears.

Formally, codpieces are basically pouches or flaps for the scrotum (generally made from cloth or leather), kinda like a medieval/renaissance version of a jockstrap worn on the outside. Crotchplates meanwhile are (flattish) plates of rigid material (usually metal) covering the crotch. Problem is people misusing codpiece for anything vaguely worn over the crotch region.

I've noted in the past that whatever that thing Lunaluna wears is, it resembles a penis gourd more than anything. Whatever it is, it's definitely not a crotch plate.

This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

Well, if nobody's going to clean these two tags up and write wikis that actually explain what the difference is I'll move the penis sheaths to their own tag and merge them, because based on their current usage there's no difference.

I'm not convinced distinguishing the tags based on the material will do anything to stop users from tagging one as the other.

create alias codpiece -> genital_pouch_(european)

Clarifies the form and function of a codpiece to avoid mistagging of crotch plates.

Ugly tag name, but perhaps necessary.

Wiki written. Posts gardened to removed some examples and to add new ones.

All my google search suggestions when I type "genital pouch" are about cockroaches, so I don't think that's a good name for the tag.

Penis_pouch_(Medieval/Renaissance)?
