Isn't "brap" a sound effect tag?

It's a sound effect, but we don't need a tag that's just transcribing the sfx (we have too many tags that are just copying words in the image, or variations of words, or in different languages, etc). Especially when it's heavily associated with a specific act that we already have a tag for, it's just duplicating the same information but less reliably.

This, plus seems that pretty much absolutely nobody is using it as sound effect tag. It's just being used as another fart tag.

Brap -fart shows some different uses- burping and vore mostly. It's not a lot, but it's 35/108 images, which isn't insignificant. Still don't need a tag for every sound effect, but this at least needs clean up, if not a different target like onomatopoeia.

Concur on aliasing to onomatopoeia instead of fart given the findings above

The majority of those tagged to brap contain sound cue texts of varying body sounds (farts, burps, etc.) These posts without onomatopoeia could be updated to -brap +fart tag instead.

Can say the same for burps. The majority contain farts, the posts without farts can remove brap so the tag can be aliased to fart. IMO, it's better to have it aliased to fart in case of someone just tagging brap; a post missing onomatopoeia is less of a problem than a post missing fart.

maybe should be invalidated like filth was?

Tbh this might be best. I think the fact that it gets used for other stuff >30% of the time is bit too high for a clean alias.

I went through and did a quick sort into fart or burping etc as needed. It looks like it used to be used mainly for burping, and then the tag became taken over for farting... which is interesting mostly to see how trends sometimes change. It should be safe to invalidate now though.
