The bulk update request #12252 is pending approval.

remove alias penis_penetrating (0) -> penile_penetration (397489)

Reason: Alright, I'll necro this thread because, to me, it's indicative of the complete 180° that happenned with regards to the meaning of "penile penetration" between how people were initially using it vs what the tag is defined as, and why that tag definitelly should get renamed. It's been driving me mad for years and I will die on that hill.

Penile_penetration breaks most tag patterns where "X_penetration means something is penetrating X", it's at odds with how it was being used prior to things being reorganized around that name, said renaming was done unilateraly by ImpidiDinkaDoo (alias #24085) with zero prior discussion, and it causes even more confusion with semantically related tags like pseudo-penile penetration (which the wiki says means the preudo-penis is being penetrated). Renaming it to penis_penetrating will clear up every ambiguity around this, and create a strong precedent for that pattern for things like tail_penetration (which is similarly messy) or pussy_penetrating (which doesn't exist, but would make a good parent tag for pussy_in_pussy).

Follow up: alias penile_penetration -> penis_penetrating

Updated

Gonna bump this real quick, since I understand that I created that second BUR at a pretty bad time of day/week for forum frequentation.

we should normalize the tag format for this (and anything else that similarly uses the *_penetration suffix) so it matches the *_insertion tags since those are more in line with the definition.

I'm not sure "penile insertion" would be a great substitute, TBH. Using "penetrating" completely removes any ambiguities as to what is going into what ("penetrated" might be less popular, but having both mirroring each other would make for a pretty good format, IMO).
