Bodily fluids fetishes and other; clearer naming

Posted under Tags

Situation: A number of the extreme fetishes which most users are in a presumed interest to avoid have intricate names not intelligible for their pure untainted minds: as opposed to Japanese media terms that became eventually known to most of the its oriented internet such as 'loli', 'scat' is not one I presume most people know or should have to google and be in consequence exposed to.

This is clearly not a rampant problem as the Danbooru selection of said works is limited, however being shown clear information would the disable blacklist option appear is preferable.

proposed changes:
scat -> poop_fetishism ~ feces_fetish / coprophilia (?)
guro -> gore -this one honestly is not as necessary as the similarity makes it clear otherwise
golden_shower -> peeing_on_person - I also ask if pee fetish is better off blacklisted (?)

Updated

guro -> gore makes sense to me because the original term applies to a lot of grotesque material that danbooru does not put in that tag (vomit, insects, etc).

Strong -1 on the scat one. Everyone knows what "scat" means, and if they don't all it takes is one look to learn it and never forget it. Also we use poop for the cartoonish equivalent.

For golden shower, I'd invert the alias, because again "golden shower" is a very specific term, for which the meaning is widely known and one of those things you never really forget once you learn them.

If gore is not a 1:1 translation I concede it is better off kept unchanged

No, I meant that of your proposals the switch from guro to gore is the only one that makes sense to me, because we use "guro" for gore, but "guro" outside danbooru (at least in JP internet) also means generic grotesque materials, not necessarily of the bloody kind.

create alias scat -> feces_fetish

clear naming of potentially repulsive content

I really would want to say, that I give no shit about that topic, but..:
Scat is a pretty clear name and I think we shouldn't start to tag images with *_fetish. It just sounds really bad and would lead to people asking why other stuff isn't tagged as "fetish" etc. etc.
You could maybe argue for a feces -> scat alias, but I'm strongly against another name than scat.

Same goes to golden_shower. There is really no need to change that name.

Generally but with the 'other names' feature its use here is bound to comply with that of pixiv.

We generally don't tag vomit/cockroaches/excessively gonk faces with guro, even if Pixiv does put an R18-G tag on them. They use it for anything "grotesque", which is how the word "guro" got derived from.
