The tag alias #75932 child's_friend -> friend's_parent is pending approval.

Reason: Since these two tags are completely reciprocal, there doesn't seem to be any point in having both of them. Plus, the use of the word "child" makes it ambiguous, and makes it sound like it could mean "young person" instead of "your offspring".

Neither of these tags seem particularly useful

honestly, at that point it's just age_difference.

i mean, i respectfully disagree with both of you. i do think the relationship dynamic and scenario surrounding a pair of characters does add to a piece, similar to how some people want incest rather than just someone old enough to be your father. but in any case, shouldn't this suggestion be voted on based on the alias itself rather than the popularity of the tags? these tags do pretty unambiguously refer to the exact same thing. (and honestly, at 100 posts, the popularity seems fairly high for a tag that's surely not known enough to be tagged on all applicable posts?)

If it's gonna exist as a tag, it should be lore (familial relations). But I highly doubt the use of this tag

There is no point in aliasing one invalid tag into another when they will both be either nuked or redirected somewhere eventually

Since they have no wiki and I can only assume how they're being used from the posts, that doesn't seem globally applicable

We could nuke the tags then alias them there, that seems like it might be a good target for the usage that would be assumed from the name

i mean, if you sort through the tag by score, you'll see that there's a few dozen posts with 4 digit fav counts, most of which have the relationship between the characters as a pretty central focus. and i scrolled throgh the comments, and the people who mentioned it seem to love it - on post #1768208, for example, you've got 3 people very specifically requesting there be a tag for sex with your friend's dad. in my opinion, this is a pretty glowing review of the tag's usefulness. i do agree that this should probably be a lore tag, though.

This is the same way news outlets paint a handfull of angry twitter users as "everyone" canceling X creator for something they did 15 years ago

I'm also not sure why you're bring up the favorite count of score of the posts, that is in no way relevant here

i'm bringing it up because in my eyes, the popularity of posts where this is the main focus speaks to the popularity of the scenario itself, and what naturally follows is the desire to search for posts that contain it. (this includes me - i find it hot, and if i realized submitting this request would have called the tag's validity into question and potentially risked its removal i wouldn't have and just kept using it instead). if i may ask though, what is the threshold on "usefulness" for a tag to be considered good?

Just as the popularity of posts have no bearing on approvals, the popularity of a post has no bearing on its tags

Hell, I have that post favorited and I had no idea of the context, I just like the artist
How are you drawing a line between the post being from a very popular artist (braebrurned), and the content/fetishes in the post being popular? That post is well in line with how braebruened's posts are typically rated

Rather than creating tags for niche things you want to see, you should either create a set and use that, or do that then bring it to the forums to ask about making a tag/if a way to search for this already exists
Someone in the comments of the post you mentioned brought up that they use parent_(lore) male/male -incest, which I'm sure you can further refine to your interests

i mean, that search doesn't catch the 9 posts brae has done with this premise because it's relying on tagging parent_(lore) in relation to a character that isn't necessarily in the art itself as a sort of proxy variable. i would like to keep this more consistent way of searching it rather than hope a constellation of other tags has been applied. i'm also trying to convey with the number of posts within it and their popularity based on the premise that this is less niche than a good number of other tags i see, which is why i asked for a general idea of where the line is drawn. its 3 am and i dont want to stay up too much later debating this, but in conclusion: this is a really good tag letting you find posts containing a hot scenario that are hard to come by otherwise through other combinations of tags, and i think this tag should continue to exist.

now that i've actually taken a moment to go through this search, i can point out the more specific problems with it, which are that there's not really a way to filter out things like post #5223777 where someone is getting cucked by their father, or post #4619895 where the son is having sex with someone and the parent is just there, or post #4697364 where the son and the dad are both having sex with just some random guy. plus, cutting out most of the chaff is the fact that we're pretty solely discussing a guy fucking his friend's father - if you were to try and look for a guy fucking his friend's mom, or a girl fucking her friend's dad, you'd have to try and rely on something like parent_(lore) -incest male/female, which would give you a lot of just their parents having sex with each other. i understand if you don't get it because you don't have this kink, but who is having sex with who pretty seriously affects how hot a piece is! imagine if you couldn't differentiate between art of a husband having sex with his wife while someone watched and art where someone had sex with the wife while the husband watched because there was no cuckold tag and you had to try and finagle a combo of other tags to approximate it
