Shared bathing rename and potential implication

Posted under Tags

BUR #20315 has been rejected.

remove alias shared_bathtub -> shared_bathing
create alias shared_bathing -> same-sex_bathing
remove alias shared_bathing -> same-sex_bathing
create alias mixed_bathing -> mixed-sex_bathing
remove alias mixed_bathing -> mixed-sex_bathing

"Shared bathing" is a confusing tag name for specifically baths shared between characters of the same gender. If anything, the name makes it sound more like the tag is for any kind of bath with 2+ people participating, regardless of the participants' gender.

Additionally removing the shared_bathtub alias on the same principle. I think keeping "coed_bathing" for mixed-sex bathing is fine - while the idea of a bath being "coeducational" is silly, it's a common way to refer to something mixed-sex.

BUR #20316 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

remove alias shared_bathtub -> shared_bathing
create alias shared_bathing -> same-sex_bathing
remove alias shared_bathing -> same-sex_bathing
create alias mixed_bathing -> mixed-sex_bathing
remove alias mixed_bathing -> mixed-sex_bathing

Second variant of the BUR that additionally turns shared_bathing into an umbrella tag for all shared baths.

[“Shared bathing” is a confusing tag name for specifically baths shared between characters of the same gender. If anything, the name makes it sound more like the tag is for any kind of bath with 2+ people participating]

That is EXACTLY what shared bathing is “2+ people participating”, regardless of the circumstance of the same or of different gender; while mixed_bathing is a varient of the “2+ people participating” tag, just used exclusively when its participants of different genders.

shared bathing = 2+ people of either the same gender and/or of different genders participating

mixed_bathing = 2+ people of different genders participating

its not at all confusing. just need an implication:

mixed_bathing → shared_bathing

for filtering search results to work as intended in this scenario.

You're half a year late, we already fixed these tags.
