Unfortunately, "carpet" also means something NSFW.: Carpet Of Virility

I understand that the trope isn't limited to chest hair, but we should have a name that doesn't share a slang term for... the pubic area.

And it doesn't have to lose wit here. We could call it Chest Hair Of Virility or Chest Hair Means Virility, or something along those lines.

EDIT: I wouldn't bring this up for just any trope where a word in the name means something NSFW. The key here is this is a Fanservice trope, and the rest of its name is sexually related.

"Virility" has a very masculine association, where I'm pretty sure the NSFW meaning of "carpet" tends towards feminine.

So what are we going to do about Fanservice tropes with "eat" or "eating" in the title?

Yeah, I don't see a problem here.

Well I didn't realize that word was strictly masculine, but that just makes it look like a guy's hair down there.

If the context makes it look like it could be fellatio when it isn't, then such names like that would best be changed.

@ Dragon Quest Z: This has already been brought up and the consensus has been reached that the name was intended to be a Double Entendre to begin with so the name hasn't been changed last time we discussed this.

The other suggestions that were made back then were something around the lines of Forest Of Virility or Chest Rug Of Virility.

Nearly anything could be misconstrued as something else. Though I fail to see why merely the possibility of someone misconstruing one thing for something else (be it for sexual slang or not) would merit a rename in and of itself unless that very possibility has been realized and the page is being misused for the unintended second meaning.

Theoretically speaking, Eating the Eye Candy could sound to someone like a reference to fellatio and it's a Fanservice trope, but that alone would never make a strong case for a rename.

Well possibilities have been used successfully against certain names before. But since this name was already approved in past discussions, then I guess it stands unless misuse is shown.

"Virility" by its definition is Always Male; I think the only argument towards renaming this would be arguing that any name containing it is too obscure to be indicative.

I think it's a fairly self-explanatory trope. A carpet is something thick and fuzzy/furry. Virility is the state of having masculine potency (in pretty much every sense of the term). About the only mistake would be if people were taking it to be overly literal - an actual piece of carpeting that somehow was exceptionally manly.

I was thinking of this accidentally referring to the male pubic area.

In all of the truly stupendous amount of pornography I've read, I have never seen the word "virile" used to refer to a woman.

+1 to keep the name per previously stated reasons.

Well since misuse would decide this better than anything else, I checked about 20 wicks, and unless furries are disqualified, I found zero misuse. If they are disqualified, then Shadow The Hedgehog is one misuse. Not enough for a rename.

Regardless, I'm asking for a lock, so that this doesn't just take up space.
