The tag alias #67690 hug -> embrace has been rejected.

Reason: Hug no longer implies embrace, and we now have hugging_during_sex for what embrace used to mean (according to its old wiki page - it was misused constantly though due to the name).

See maplebytes' comment on topic #16144:

I don't know how this implication was approved or had so many positive votes, it doesn't really make sense:

• If an embrace was intended for hugging within a sexual situation, then all hugs cannot be embraces
• As far as dictionary definitions go, "embrace" and "hug" are synonyms, so following that logic, embrace should be aliased to hug, there's no reason for both tags to exist, there is no embrace that is not a hug

Embrace clearly didn't do a good enough job at clearly defining itself as "a character hugging their partner during sexual contact", so I went ahead and made a hugging_during_sex tag, the name is a little clunky, but it eliminates any ambiguity about what the tag is for.

Embrace and hug are synonyms and us attaching a random other meaning we pulled out of thin air is confusing to both taggers and searchers.

EDIT: The tag alias hug -> embrace (forum #394732) has been rejected by @Rainbow_Dash.
