Topic: aphrodisiac BUR

The bulk update request #6496 is pending approval.

Reason: Implying the most common aphrodisiac_<something> tags to aphrodisiac, and also having them imply the <something> in cases where it's obvious enough that it doesn't require me to think.

Stuff that's excluded:

• aphrodisiac_liquid -> liquid and aphrodisiac_gas -> gas: What are the liquid and gas tags even for? To me, they seem too vague to be very useful.
• aphrodisiac_pill -> pill: Not sure if the pill needs to be visible or if it can be in a closed container.

The bulk update request #9470 is pending approval.

create alias horny_juice (5) -> aphrodisiac_beverage (19)
create alias pheromone_gas (17) -> pheromones (1776)

Reason: Horny_juice is just aphrodisiac_beverage. Pheromones are always gases, so pheromone_gas is redundant.

Side question: Would an implication from pheromones to aphrodisiac_gas make sense? As far as I can tell the only difference is that pheromones are produced by living beings.

The bulk update request #9472 is pending approval.

Pheromones are gases, but are they aphrodisiacs? Logically, yeah, I think so. They're things that force arousal, which is what aphrodisiac is used for. Checking what taggers seem to think, ~30% of pheromones posts are tagged aphrodisiac, suggesting opinions may be split. Let's put it to a vote.

I have found the answer to my own question: No. Not all pheromones are aphrodisiacs. Hypnotic_gas is also possible (mixes of both, too).
Evidence: post #5170437
So, most pictures with pheromones can also be tagged as aphrodisiac_gas, but due to exceptions an implication would be wrong.

The bulk update request #11562 is pending approval.

create alias love_potion (159) -> aphrodisiac_potion (57)

Reason: These are the same thing

Love and horny are not the same thing

Point taken, but the BUR does not propose aliasing love and aroused. Is a potion_bottle with a heart_symbol on it tagged as love_potion or aphrodisiac_potion? If there are TWYS indicators of exactly one of love or aroused elsewhere in the image, the distinction might be able to be made, but what if there are both or neither?

Case-by-case basis
You'll have to make a judgment call
