Heavily updated token banlist. Token count: >4400

Cumulative updates from the past several months:

* Deduplication
* Trimmed a bunch of AO3-type vampire-fic shit that was never going to come up
* Low voices. WIP, models still seem really into low voices.
* Head tilting WIP
* For fuck's sake what is it with RP models and smelling things? I've spent two years on smells.
* Humming. Why is humming suddenly a thing every damn person and object does?
* We're all tired of bare feet on tile/hardwood/carpet
* Corners of mouths, smiles turning up
* Lip biting. For fuck's sake the lip biting.
* Even more "I'm yours" type crap
* Eye locking should be reduced
* Light catching not eliminated but at least more variety
* Almost eliminated "crescent moon" type nail digging
* A fuckton of one-offs
* Early work on predicate clauses
* A royal metric assload of miscellany
