Currently the fart tag is being used like a fetish tag, and that's a problem.

Posts containing non-fetish farts avoid the fart tag so it doesn't trip peoples' blacklist, because there is not a good way to differentiate them.

To fix this, and give people more nuanced tag control, all fart containing posts should get the fart tag. All fart fetish containing posts should get the fart_fetish tag. This would give people the option to remove only the fart-fetish posts OR all fart-containing posts.

However, adding the implication right now would mess with people's blacklists and expectations. So, before implying fart to all the 100+ other-fart-tag posts (like cum_fart etc), I am reviewing and tagging them with fart_fetish as needed. After this, people can switch their blacklist to have fart_fetish instead of (or in addition to) fart.

After that, the remaining fart -fart-fetish posts can be tagged with fart_fetish as needed.

Side question: There are "types" of fart fetishes like "intestinal gas" type (like, real farts) and gape farts. Both are farts and both are fetishized, so they should get the fart_fetish tag. But, in my preliminary discussion on the e6 discord I learned that people would like to differentiate them. I'm curious about possible solutions to this. Is it simply just blacklisting fart_fetish -gape_fart? (there are other not-real-fart fart tags besides this one example)

To recap, the steps are:
1) tag other-than-fart posts with fart_fetish as needed
2) imply "all fart tags" -> fart
3) tag fart_fetish as needed to fart posts

Before starting this project I wanted input and thoughts - is this a sound plan?

Sorry, I'm a bit lost.
The plan is to separate the fart tag from the Fart_Fetish tag
since the former is being equated with the latter, right?
If so, I personally don't think that would be a very sound
idea, Dood.

Like making briefs a different tag from underwear.
F.Fetish implies F by default, since you need F's to
have a F.Fetish post. Though I do see the problem,
with peeps only tagging F, instead of F.Fetish. I'd
suggest coming up with a different tag altogether,
the means Farts in a non-sexual context rather than
to separate the F in F.Fetish, Dood.

There should probably be a tag for gastrointestinal farts specifically if the existing fart tag is going to be used for any expulsion of fluid (gas or liquid) from the anus.

Also, I think it would be somewhat unintuitive for the fart fetish tag to be used for any expulsion of fluid from the anus in a sexual context. I would guess that most people searching fart fetish are looking for actual farts, as it is commonly understood to mean fetishisation of flatulence. I suppose really the issue is we're calling things that aren't actually farts farts.
