Topic: sex_toy_background mass update

The bulk update request #5141 is pending approval.

mass update sex_toy_background -> ambient_sex_toy
create implication ambient_sex_toy (0) -> sex_toy (157325)
create alias sex_toy_in_background (0) -> ambient_sex_toy (0)

Reason: The name suggests it's a tag for a sex toy-patterned background, but only unused sex toys can be found there. For a while, didn't realize it even existed because of its name.

Definitely makes sense, under its current name you'd expect the results to look something like pokeball_background, various patterns incorporating sex toys.

Another good name for it could be ambient_sex_toy.

It is, a fair bit of them are in foreground. Much better than my name.

I don't think sex_toy_in_background and ambient_sex_toy mean the same thing. The ambient_* tags are generally for small, often low-detail elements that aren't even the secondary focus of a scene (e.g. random floating dots being ambient fireflies, or m or w shapes in the sky for ambient birds), whereas something in the background can be detailed and even pointed out by a character, just not be the primary focus or interacting with the main subjects. It's also the case that the other ambient tags don't imply the thing itself, like how ambient_firefly and ambient_bird don't imply firefly or bird, because by being ambient, they're deemed as not worth tagging as the thing (someone searching <thing> isn't going to want posts that have some ambient_<thing>, given how ambient_<thing> is supposed to be used; i.e. if <thing> is worth tagging, ambient_<thing> isn't).
