Topic: Electricity

The bulk update request #1969 is pending approval.

create implication lightning (4221) -> electricity (12794) # duplicate of implication #10243
create implication electrostimulation (3644) -> electricity (12794)
create implication electroejaculation (143) -> electricity (12794)
create implication electric_shock (328) -> electricity (12794)
create implication electrocution (492) -> electricity (12794)
create implication electroshock_weapon (421) -> electricity (12794)
create alias electric (328) -> electricity (12794)

Reason: All of these tags involve the use of electricity and there fore should imply as such. Or at least I think they do since most of them have electric or electro in their names. I have also taken the liberty of aliasing a related words. Last I checked, the same things were being done with the fire tag.

No, the electricity wiki states "Use this tag only when a post shows visible electrical sparks."
Most electrostimulation devices, particularly genital electrodes and anal probes (for electroejaculation), do not produce sparks when placed onto or inserted into a character's body.

Additionally, having electroshock_weapon imply electricity does not make sense. Tasers and stun_guns fall into this category and they do not produce sparks until they are used (and even then it may not show sparks).
It's like having flamethrower imply fire, when it can exist in a state where fire is not being produced.

Can you really tag it as electrostimulation, then? How do you know that’s what’s going on in that image? That’s not what I would have assumed on first glance.

I think if someone has wires going into their butt, or the wires end in a car battery/power supply, you should tag electrostimulation without tagging electricity. In post #2205878, the wire continuity is a little hard to see, but it does seem to go from the toy to the "electronic-looking" box on the ground. OTOH maybe that's an oscilloscope measuring things instead of stimulating.

Hmm, that post seemed to be mistagged. It will be more appropriate to tag it as electroejaculation where it states "direct stimulation of the prostate using electrodes which are placed within the rectum", whereas electrostimulation is "a sexual practice in which electrodes are attached to a character's genitals".
Regardless, both tags do not imply electricity for the post as no sparks are produced, whether it is in active use or not.
