Exploration Tag Confusion

Posted under Tags

I recently discovered the tag exploration was a thing when it cropped up in topic #12251 as these often do. The tag as currently defined is for depictions of characters either exploring their own or another's bodies. However, as forum #260806 inquires, the tag could easily be confused for acts of actual exploration like the mistagged post #6856757 or post #6914291.

As a result of this, I am questioning the value of the tag as currently defined. I think it's a solid concept and something I can absolutely see people searching for, however its name probably could use some work. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be done about this tag?

BUR #21462 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias exploration -> body_exploration
remove alias exploration -> body_exploration

I strongly dislike having general innocent terms mean something sexual on Danbooru.

Alias/unalias because there's more than 200 posts.

Yeah, a rename was my first instinct for this tag tbh. I just wasn't sure how to proceed. I probably would've proposed renaming it "self-exploration" were it not stated to be just as much for exploring another as oneself.

There is one thing that's on my mind though: Assuming this alias goes through, what shall become of exploration as a regular tag? Can it be reworked into a general tag for characters actually exploring (or general explorer asthetics) like forum #260806 was asking about (assuming there isn't a tag for that I'm unaware of)? I think that's just as valid a search concept as bodily exploration.
