The bulk update request #9111 is pending approval.

remove alias dominant_femboy (0) -> femboy (159490)

Reason: While some may say that it is possible to use "dominant_male" and "femboy" or "girly," that still doesn't account for the specific situation where the femboy is the dominant figure in the relationship shown. Using "dominant male" and "femboy" or "girly" could just as easily imply the exact opposite of what I'm looking for, such as a dominant male with a submissive femboy. If this is the wrong way to go about this, I apologize, but this seemed to be the best way to go about requesting this.

Somewhat a duplicate of topic #35343

So long as dominant_femboy ends up implying dominant_male, this seems like a reasonable change.

femboy ≠ male, that isn't happening regardless

I personally think this tag is fine to have, even if femboy isn't a gender. There's not really any reason to try to argue that doing this allows it to be used like a gender tag, because practically all the other uses of it like that are already aliased away, and they can stay that way. But this particular tag has been requested so many times, and there have been so many tags that were made to get around the alias that I think fighting it anymore is kinda a fruitless endeavor. There's no reason (imo) to keep it aliased anymore.

I was about to create a BUR for this. I furiously disagree with the alias. There has to be a way to search for dominant femboys, without having to scroll through 99% of posts in which the femboy is the sub.

One argument is that femboy isn't a gender, so like how semi-anthro isn't a form, it doesn't get the same subtags

I'm still not a fan of having any subtags but exceptions can be made for tags that clearly have desire from a lot of users
as long as we manage to keep it under wraps (likely via aliasing away any other possible subtags), it should be fine

Is there some way to phrase the tag in a way as to indicate it's for a femboy being dominant, but not follow the dominant_<sex> pattern? To help prevent people from thinking x_penetrating_femboy, femboy_penetrating_x, femboy_rimming, femboy_fingering, etc, are also valid alongside dominant_femboy, as with male, female. etc.

I also worry that a dominant_femboy tag would be heavily misused for femboy_penetrating without any apparent domination (a typical problem with all the other dom/sub tags).

there is josou_seme although that is another one'a those impenetrable foreign language tag names.

although, if it's a competition between that and giving femboy the "special noun" treatment like gender and form, I think I'd prefer the former.

Can't we just alias those away as they pop up, or even preemptively alias them away?

The wiki reference is out of date and that topic is 2 years old
It translates to "dominant femboy" (not literally because Japanese, but effectively)

Doesn't matter how old the topic is, it's a pending AIBUR. I'm pointing out it may get aliased

Fair point about the age but the wiki reference itself (the basis of the change request) is out of date and also incorrect
Josou Seme just means Girly Top (not necessarily penetrating)
The current wiki on this site is more accurate

top does mean penetrating, though.
