remove alias foot_worshipping (0) -> foot_fetish (61905)
remove alias paw_worship (0) -> foot_fetish (61905)
remove alias ass_worship (0) -> invalid_tag (0)

Reason: Worshipping a (thing) is worshipping. So it should imply the tag.
Ass worship should be aliased to butt worship, not invalid tag.
Aliasing worship(p)ing to worship since they are the same thing.

Not sure if balls, penis, whatever, should imply genital worship then worship, or if that should be aliased away...
There are a few more tags, but they are rarely used, so I didn't include them yet, but should I include them anyway?

Edit: Changed tags being implied to, removed body worship -> worship, added more unaliasing and aliasing. I think it looks good.

I have to wonder why ass_worship was aliased to invalid_tag in the first place. It was done by a former admin way back in 2013 with no forum discussion, and searching for the tag name on the forums didn't show anything that looked relevant either. (On that topic, why does the forum search turn underscores into spaces? It makes it completely useless for finding tag discussions, which is one of the only reasons you'd use it in the first place. I didn't really want to read that one French guy's epic homophobic rant again just because he happened to use the words "ass" and "worship" several paragraphs apart in the same post.)

I'm not convinced by the use of worship as a blanket tag, though. To me that word implies a more traditional sort of religious worship, which doesn't resemble the contents of those posts at all (with the possible exception of some of the really weird sexy occult shit that I'm sure is buried somewhere in the depths of this website). I would suggest something along the lines of body_part_worship, but that poses the question of whether that includes body_worship. Can anyone more well-versed in sex terminology suggest a technical classification?

While I was digging through the tags aliased to invalid, I kept seeing artist tags that are aliased to invalid, maybe we should unalias them?

Also the wiki states that its used for when a character is worshipping another character's body parts or something.

If users paid attention to the wiki, a lot of things would become much easier.

That topic doesn't quite seem to answer my question, if they wish to remain anon, they should be aliased to anon artist instead, like, there literally is an outdated list of artist in one of the posts. Also, aliasing it to invalid tag is a bad idea, they mentioned how:
1. anon artist gets tagged
2.artist gets aliased to invalid
3.invalid gets removed
4.no art tags = unknown artist

If anything, we should be aliasing them to anon artist, and not invalid tags.

I think I’d rather have them all imply body worship instead. They’re all subsets of body worship, and as wat pointed out, plain “worship” is more associated with religion than… this.

Edit: I noticed foot worship is aliased to foot fetish. I think that should be unaliased and made into an implication instead. Also, yes, all the genital worship tags should imply genital_worship and having that imply body_worship instead, I think.

Changing "worship" to "body worship" sounds like a good idea to me too.

Okay, that looks better. The reason I'm not sure about using body_worship for the umbrella tag is because I looked at its posts and it seems to describe a more general sense of worshiping the whole body at once. But if people think that doesn't justify its own tag and/or should be split up into however many parts of the body are being specifically worshiped, then I'm fine with that.

alpha_worship I'm not convinced belongs in this BUR at all. It seems to have been swept up by a wildcard search, but doesn't actually describe body worship, more a kind of status worship?

TIL the correct spelling is actually "worshiping", not "worshipping". Might want to cover that in the foot aliases too.

Finally, (from Part 2) what?

alias foot_worship -> foot_worship

A lot of it looks more like, say, “torso worship.” Maybe they can be moved into a new tag like that, which implies body worship?

For part 2, foot_worship is unnecessary because we already have foot_lick, it would create a redundant tag.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment - but not all worship is licking? There's also nuzzling and stuff

I hate to necro an old thread, but before this goes through (assuming it will), it might be good to add foreskin_worship to the list of genital worship tags, either via implicate foreskin_worship -> genital_worship or implicate foreskin_worship -> penis_worship.

It's a smaller tag, but it seems valid and by this point it's been applied to nearly 50 images.
