Why does the tag male_only redirect to male? They're two different things. One encompasses all images with males in them and the other encompasses pictures with ONLY males in them. This is troublesome as it makes it virtually impossible to blacklist the latter without loosing a sizable chunk of unintended content. It isn't as simple as blacklisting both solo and male.

male_only can be handled by male -female -intersex -ambiguous_gender (or just male -female -intersex depending on how you want to handle ambiguous characters).

Because male_solo is considered an invalid tag, and has been aliased to the male tag. (That is to say, any time somebody uploading an image adds "male_only" as a tag, the system automatically changes it into the "male" tag before actually uploading it.) Instead, you can search for the combination of tags male and solo to get more or less the same results. ...provided you don't add too many additional tags. Unfortunately, the system we have in place makes it so that as you start to add more than three to five tags, unless you know exactly what you're doing, the search results can start to get a little...unpredictable.

Yes but how would you do -male_only?

~female ~intersex ~ambiguous_gender (or just ~female ~intersex, depending on whether ambiguous characters should be included or not).

I recently looked at the blacklist page again it states you can put multiple tags on the same line in order to omit images that have both male AND solo
So it'd look like this in my blacklist:
Male solo
So I guess this really isn't an issue, at least for blacklisting

This'll still show male/male, male/male/male, male/male/male/male, solo_focus+male, etc. Watsit had it right the first time, just blacklist "male -female -intersex -ambiguous_gender", with or without the last term.
