create alias crotch -> crotch_focus

Mere weeks ago, I pondered in the Discord "Hey, we've got ass focus, breast focus, and (unfortunately) foot focus tag... how in the heck don't we have "pussy focus" or "penis focus" tags, considering how many images focused on those?" I considered it far too gargantuan a task to even consider, so I didn't even bother with it. Until Deep Danbooru informed me of a tag that exists!

Lo and behold, apparently we do have a tag fitting that description! The crotch tag wiki says:

The area between the legs where they join the torso.

Used for images where the point of view is blatantly focused on the crotch region, specially around the perineal area (i.e the vagina)

Which 100% fits the bill! I'm thinking that in order to better align with the others, putting that "_focus" bit at the end will make it more obvious as to what the tag is for. Theoretically someone could go a step further and specify between "pussy focus" and "penis focus" ( @Admiral_Pectoral ), but that's up to your discretion.

Most of the (unmodified) body parts tags should probably be renamed *_focus because they are usually drawn anyway so tagging them would be mostly inconsistent padding unless the depiction focuses on those body parts.

Penis and vagina aren't usually drawn though, and if they are the user's view will be invariably drawn towards them so they'll be tagged. So these don't need *_focus tags.

I understand that the additional suggested tags are likely intended to be 'subtags' of the proposed crotch focus, but this is still IMHO unnecessary and will lead to tag padding (especially for examples where the penis is visible but the crotch is not). Just using crotch focus on conjunction with penis and pussy (and the other tag_group:pussy tags) should be enough.

I'm not too keen on having a generic crotch focus tag given that they're highly sexual orientation-specific. Someone looking for the current crotch tag is more likely than not looking for a specific one between female and male, so it's a disservice for everyone to have it as a mix of both.

On the other hand, male crotch focus/female crotch focus start to become weird names and I can't think of a better name. As NNescio said, often the penis/vagina aren't shown, so we can't go for vagina focus/penis focus.

For this same reason, I don't think crotch + pussy/penis works. You'd have to do something like crotch 1girl solo but then that excludes cases where the viewer's hands are in the view (crotch pov_hands, crotch 1girl 1boy).

crotch_focus_(female) and crotch_focus_(male) sound the least awkward to me. But that also brings problems when you have others and futas in the mix. It may be best to just have a general tag to avoid having to deal with that mess.

I wholly regret suggesting penis_focus and pussy_focus! That was just an afterthought that I should have never typed. That being said, I stand by my suggestion that crotch be aliased to crotch_focus for the reasons I outlined in my original post. (That being, by wiki definition, the crotch tag is already explicitly for crotch-focused images, and adding "_focus" helps keep things in line with the other "_focus" tags.)

I could just be dumb, but wouldn't it be easy to just do crotch_focus + male_focus for dudes? We don't have a don't have a male_ass_focus tag, after all.
