The tag alias #76053 vore_implied -> invalid_tag is pending approval.

Reason: implied_vore is already aliased. Although to be fair, that alias is very old and has no visible discussion: https://e621.net/tag_aliases/2667

If I had to guess, vore_implied was probably someone's workaround to circumvent the alias.

Imo the original invalidation should be reversed and this aliased to it. There's definitely a place for implied vore and it's not even that uncommon- a smug cat with a feather on its mouth next to an empty bird cage is downright a cliche.

Agreed 100%

The bulk update request #10861 is pending approval.

remove alias implied_vore (0) -> invalid_tag (3)

Reason: Alternative
Although, what's the difference between implied_vore and after_vore? I'm not a vore person

After:
alias vore_implied -> implied_vore

I'm not either but my educated guess would be after_vore is either digestion or regurgitation? They are no longer vored, implied just means you didn't see it happen but you can easily tell that it did happen

After_vore is exclusively after vore with visible tells like a belly bulge. Implied can range from post vore without surefire signs to something that's a few steps away from imminent_vore, but posing/context/expression gives implications. It could also be like. Some sort of 'vore world' situation where there's theming and threats without actually showing anything.

Many implied_* tags are ripe with misuse from when people can't tag something because it's not visually happening, but want to anyway either because it speaks to their fetish, or it may happen later on. Like this post:
post #5453745
having been tagged implied_tickling, despite tickling clearly not happening, implied or not. Nor is there any indication that tickling is about to happen (where imminent_tickling would be more appropriate anyway, not implied_tickling).

I can't speak for the admin that invalidated implied_vore about why they did, but I'd be cautious about re-validating it as people will likely try using it as vore_(lore) substitute when vore itself can't be tagged.

I'm just replying to say that you're right about that image and the misuse of the tag
