as mentioned in https://e621.net/forum_topics/46033, all uses of the word "pussy" are to be discontinued in favour of vulva or vagina, depending on which is being mentioned
however a place where i have noticed that there's the most clear leftover of "pussy" is in the upload page, specifically when it mentions what tags count as explicit
i just wanted to bring it up since i think it would be a very easy change for the mods to make and to follow what 46033 said
That text is hardcoded, so it's more than a simple change, someone needs to go actually make a PR for it

I really wish there was an easier way to edit the Upload page, or suggest edits to it without going through GitHub.
Apart from the outdated text, some minor things like the source field mentioning "You should include: A link to the artists page where this was obtained..." is actually misleading to new users.
We actually punish users who solely include that as the source. There are also quite a few times where I see only the artist's gallery and the direct image URL being listed as the sources, which is not proper.
In addition, I feel it would be beneficial to include the various how-to pages (e.g., howto:tag characters, howto:source) into their respective sections.
Bruh. This site's tagging gets more and more stupid.

If you're complaining about the tags being changed, then this is somehow worse than your complaints on the cub tag being removed
This change was yet another very long discussed change, and was not done lightly
topic #46033
If you want to complain about tags being changed, you should participate in the discussions as they happen rather than complaining several months later

This is part of why, as I explained here, we secretly use wiki pages for a lot of special text entries around the site. The problem is that using this approach for a single sentence that changes infrequently isn't the greatest idea, is a colossal pain in the ass to manage, and for this case, would rely on some funky workarounds to work correctly, as this is packaged into the JS bundle ahead of time, it can't directly use dynamically-inserted text like that - although we could use the same workaround as autocomplete tags; would be a lot more annoying, but feasible. Some other dynamic & staff-editable solution for this would be desirable, but I couldn't tell you what it could be, outside of some hacky stuff with the admin settings config - which is also less than ideal.
