Does that mean we can reverse otoko no ko back to trap
You jest, but we do need to make some change for consistency's sake if nothing else. We're still using reverse trap despite the fact we outright admit in the otoko no ko wiki that the controversy around trap is one of the reasons we made the alias in the first place. We should either reverse the alias (which is probably a no-go) or create an alias for reverse trap.
If we alias reverse trap, I think osunna no ko (雄んなの子) would be the best fit for this since it is visually similar to otoko no ko and is already used as a Pixiv tag.
I realize the whole "trap" debate is not black and white, so I'll refrain from discussing my position on it here, but I do think it makes some sense from a pragmatic standpoint for general anime communities to ban "trap" since it seems to cause so many arguments. However, I don't think terms like cuntboy would get the same amount of flak. A handful of artists may have a problem with it, but if it's not a highly controversial term and replacing it would negatively affect the user experience overall, it's not really a good reason to stop using it. It's like banning "stupid" because a couple people think it's an ableist slur (I am not making this up).
