what was cock_worship replaced by. its shows as deprecated now but clicking on ? doesn't show the replacement
It wasn't replaced with anything because it was never a valid tag. The closest thing to what you're looking for is probably "penis_awe".

Why does Tohno Akiha have a tag of "Toono Akiha"? Her brother has the correctly spelled tag (Tohno Shiki), so what happened with her? It's the same with SHIKI, he also has his name spelled as "Toono Shiki" for whatever reason.
"Toono" and "Tohno" are both completely equivalent spellings using different romanization systems. The original word breaks down into 3 syllables: "to", "o", and "no". In Hepburn and modified Hepburn, the most common romanization systems used outside of Japan, adjacent o sounds are represented with a ō. Since this also represents adjacent o and u sounds and can therefore create confusion, and since all tags should be typeable on a standard US-English keyboard without using alt codes or an IME (in other words, accent marks on characters should not be used in tags), we don't do this and instead leave each syllable separate. This results in "to", "o", "no" becoming "Toono".
The use of an h, as in "Tohno", is a
non-standard way of representing these syllables, and is not used in Hepburn, modified Hepburn, Nihon-shiki, Kunrei-shiki, or JSL, the five major romanization systems widely used.
Essentially, what I'm getting at is that "Toono" is
not incorrect. In fact, technically speaking, it is actually a more correct way of transliterating these characters' names.
In almost all cases, we and Danbooru have a policy of directly transliterating names using a standardized romanization scheme to avoid confusion between different spellings. In
some cases, if an official spelling deviates from one of these systems
AND is extremely widespread, it will be adopted instead (e.g. the Tohno and Tohsaka families from TYPE-MOON), however in most cases (e.g. Toono Minagi from Air or Yatogami Tooka from Date A Live, both of which are spelled with the exact same "to" and "o" characters if written in Hiragana; or Shameimaru Aya whose official spelling is "Syameimaru" for some reason) our direct transliteration will be used instead. In this case, "Tohno" and "Tohsaka" were only adopted on Danbooru about a year ago, and nobody has put in an alias request so that Gelbooru can follow suit. You can do this by clicking "Tags" in the main menu at the top of any page and then clicking "Aliases" in the submenu.
