Reason: All of these tags still have implications, despite being aliased away to other tags.
I have no idea why or how that happened, but here we are anyways. These implications should be removed.

A couple of tags did not have the implications carried over to their aliases. Those were restored.

Edit 1: Added grapes to the list.
Edit 2: Added vomiting_cum and cum_on_clothes to the list.
Edit 3: Added dyed_hair and cream_fur to the list.

Big thanks to tsukemono for helping with this BUR.

EDIT: The bulk update request #1388 (forum #317603) has been approved by @Rainbow_Dash.

aren't grapes berries

yes

… the whole “fruit implying its category rather than fruit directly” thing is pretty inconsistent here, though. The melons (cantaloupe, honeydew_melon, watermelon) imply melon, which implies fruit; but, meanwhile, none of the berries (grape, blueberry, cranberry… even banana, technically) imply berry, even though we do have a tag for it, which also already implies fruit.

It also doesn’t help that some of the categories for fruits are very unintuitive. Like, a banana being considered a berry doesn’t seem to make sense to most people; along with cucumber, tomato, and eggplant. Of course, a berry is not defined by the fact that it’s small, round, and sweet; it just happens to be that many of them are. Or the fact that peanuts are not nuts, but legumes (the same family of fruits as peas and beans). Or, the fact that most “nuts” aren’t actually nuts—almond, cashew_nut, and pistachio_nut (I’m not sure why the “nut” suffix is there for two of those…) are not actually nuts, but drupes. Incidentally, this is one case where the site already has it correct, as these actually imply drupe rather than nut_(fruit). Meanwhile, nut_(fruit) is implied by chestnut, acorn, hazelnut, and peanut_(food), which are all correct except for the last one.

It’s something I’d have liked to fix, but I fear it would be a huge effort and might not get approved despite that. I recall an admin a while ago not wanting to have peanut imply legume because it didn’t make sense to not call it a nut, or something like that.

Well, anyway. It’s still a fruit, technically. Don’t worry about it. 😅
