nuke pervert

pervert is a completely unnecessary tag, from its supposed usage in its wiki to its actual application on posts. It's supposed to be for "when a character does something naughty", which ranges from watching a character changing to full-on molestation (even masturbation counts if it's public, therefore EXTRA perverted!!1!) - if this definition is to be followed then we have thousands of untagged pervert posts. In application, however, it's just as if not more broad - the tag consists of peeping toms, male swimwear challenges, resting breasts on another's head, dress/skirt lifts (by both oneself and others), public and private masturbation, and even over 5 pages of posts featuring just straight-up sex.

The real kicker is that 90% of pervert is just female_pervert. The former has 5.5k posts, but female_pervert implies it and has a count of ~5k. That means only about 500 pervert posts that aren't the result of implication flooding, to which the same criticisms are just as applicable (and a bunch of them are untagged female perverts anyway).

As such, pervert is a useless amalgamation of a tag and even if we vote to save it, it's horrendously undertagged. There's really no reason to keep it around.

One reason I see why the pervert tag still stays because the tag is also used for male perverts. The only the big problem is that not many users use this tag for posts with male perverts and I don't know why.

So instead of simply requesting the tag be nuked, there can be suggestions that can be done:
1. Request any admin or mod to garden the pervert tag to posts with male perverts only. Female perverts should appropriately tagged with the "pervert" tag being a alias.

2. If the admins or mods nuke the tag, a "male_pervert" tag should be made as I don't think posts with male perverts can fit with the "female_pervert" tag.
