create alias male_with_breasts -> manboobs
Seem to be functionally the same. male_with_breasts existed quietly for 12 years until it was populated this month, possibly by someone not the aware of the existence of manboobs. Aliasing them the other way around would also be acceptable, at least for the sake of having a more technical and less colloquial name.
I like the idea of having a less slangy alias, but it possible that male with breasts might get conflated with newhalf?
It has happened fairly often, with the edit war on post #5608296 being one example.
Intuitively, my interpretation of manboobs would be the more "realistic", usually oddly-shaped, gynecomastia type, while male_with_breasts would be more like a man with cartoonish breasts bolted on through some magical or medical means (to the extent that "cartoonish" means anything when it's all 2D). To illustrate, I see a bunch of ikemeru19 art in those tags; the delivery boy's breasts would be manboobs, while if he somehow ended up with that artist's brown girl's huge tits on his chest, I'd call him a male_with_breasts.
But that's probably not a practical distinction to enforce, so it should probably all just go under one tag. While the male_with_breasts does have the advantage of being less slangy, it looks like the vast majority of material is more in line with the mental image manboobs gives, and so that's probably more appropriate.
Then again, that's just my personal intuition.
manboobs is an established term and tag referring to big pectorals on male characters that look rounder or more breast-like as a fetish, especially in yaoi circles on doujin, manga sites and even pixiv.
It makes no sense to use such a tag for characters that look like girls and have what looks like actual small breasts. You're combining two vastly different fetishes into one.
We should have a tag for this sort of thing, and for now male with breasts seems appropriate.
As with all other male focus tags and wikis the manboobs wiki has been mostly the same since 2014 and hasn't received much attention or discussion. But it's been used by people who are familiar with the term throughout the years until now. It should just be updated to exclude otoko no ko or similar cases.

Originally, the manboobs tag was used for males with gynecomastia and overweight males. This discussion makes me think there should be distinction between the currently three manboob types.
