ugh, why is this even a tag

Edit: also, why are you suggesting an alias for a 7 image tag?
If the tag is bad, remove it from those 7 images.

It's the same thing and aliasing it would prevent mistagging in the future.

It's been repeatedly stated that future mistagging isn't sufficient reason for an alias when it has a low tag count.

I just had to remove it from another image. Can't we just alias it and move on?

Aliasing a tag to a narrower (more specific tag) variant looks like a bad idea. I would alias it to "invalid_tag", much like "red" to "invalid_color", rather than "red_(pokemon)", even though is 99% used for that character.

Yeah, might be better to invalidate it.
It seems to be mostly used for thigh_gap, but I can image someone tagging other things as gap...

In my experience it's always been better to alias it to the most common tag, rather than invalid as we are aliasing it under the assumption people will continue to tag it in an attempt to mean the preferred tag, so having it slap on invalid only leads to us removing it via scripts, and then no useful tag was added. If we alias it to the preferred tag, only a smaller percent will be mistagged
