The bulk update request #10901 is pending approval.

change category forced_gay (38) -> invalid

Reason: This tag is extremely misused in images where the character's sexuality is not explicit. In practice it's mostly synonymous with forced_anal. I say we invalidate it.

You could also alias it to straight_to_gay since for the purpose of kinks, that's typically what they'd want plus forced

Eh, straight_to_gay is also a mess of assumptions and TWYK. Like I said, most forced_gay posts don't show any reference to a character's sexuality to begin with.

That's true
I was tired when I went on a forum reply spree last night
There's only 39 posts with forced_gay so my mindset must've been like: separate the ones that are straight_to_gay from the ones that are just a wasted tag, then do the alias suggestion
But that probably would just muddy that tag instead because the same people misusing forced_gay would just start adding incorrect posts to the new tag
Straight_to_Gay sometimes is a TWYK scenario but it's one of those "specific niche fetishes" that are allowed to be an exception. Which, I don't know if I made obvious across some threads, I tend to be a fan of :P
