the degradation of porn tags

[Corellius]

I don't play adult games long enough to notice a change, but long enough to notice the tags have much more games than should be, like you have 1 lesbian kiss in the whole game and is tagged as lesbian. It's annoying because you get fooled sometimes.

exactly why either a system like VNDB or at least a tiered system with primary and minor tags differentiated would be the way to go.

Honestly the NTR tags is the most annoying. It really does need to be made into its own 3 separate catagories, but at the same time are the people making the posts going to use those seperate tags?

NTR is prob the most offensive one as you always get the people under it "ew ntr" or "is it avoidable?" The 2nd one is more understandable but the first I gotta ask "why are you even here under a game with NTR in the tag if you hate NTR?"

too true, some people are just crazy and cant stand the thought that something that they aren't into exists. sometimes i peruse the comments at fapnation just to laugh at how mad the screechers get. see one penis in a game with ntr or futa sometimes even clearly in the title of the game and they're all "mmmmf and no fffffm you are gay, this game is gay, and i hope you all die" like bruh chill out lol.

i see this a lot when sites are trying to avoid being offensive.
i listen to a lot of audio erotica and if you touch a shoulder without asking for consent on the roleplay you have to put the RAPE tag in it, now when you try to find thigs with Actual Rape you cant find anything, most of the tags are "Rape to be safe"
tags like "Dubious consent" are forbidden because "if is not consent is rape" it makes it hard to find what you want

Easy to get people to look at your game when you just include all the tags

some sites refuse to include essencial tags too, really annoying

Broadly speaking, tiered or weighted tags would certainly improve readability, and possibly avoid "tag collector syndrome".
Other info I'd like to have :
- what's the story-to-sex ratio ?
- how long is the game ?
- how long until the first sex scene ?
- is it a slow burn or a fast burn ?

so true. theres a number of games that on the surface have perfect tags, amazing looking renders, but take 4 hour minimum to get any scenes and then once you get to the end of the content you find out there was like 7 in total for barely 1 scene per hour. something indicating whether or not you are gonna get blueballed by the game would amazing.

Slightly off topic, (and in jest) but I propose we eliminate the Abandonedtag, not because it's accurate and helpful, but we should hold devs to a 'finish what you started' standard. (Unless your game is crap, then you can abandon)

In more seriousness, I've stopped paying attention to the tags, I go off summary, preview pictures and if I get into a game and something I don't want comes up, but in general the game has been good, I'll just click skip it.

'ntr' is indeed the dumbest thing, but it's not about its use as a tag, it's just an extremely unfit-for-purpose loanword. Trying to stuff at least four or five things that are completely separate in Western conception into this one Japanese concept. I can't understand why people keep using it. I've seen multiple examples of fights breaking out over whether it's being used correctly, all of which could be avoided, and time and effort saved, if the person just said in English what they were referring to instead of using the term 'ntr'. That's achieving the exact opposite of what a loanword is meant to do.

For tagging itself, on blogs/forums without much user feedback, yeah, it's just SEO stuff to drive clicks. I more or less completely ignore tags on those places. For effninetyfive and here and places like that, there's a built-in tension where some people mainly use tags to avoid content they don't want, and some mainly use them to find content they do. imo this is why you end up with stuff like games getting the 'ntr' tag because MC's big sister's best friend once held hands with a guy etc. People demand the tag be added because they want a reminder to stay away. So people who want the shit cucked out of them find the tag's attached to a lot of stuff that doesn't interest them at all.

I think Monster girls should be split into at least two separate tags one of races like elves, goblins and orcs and another tag for kemonomimi i.e cat girls, dog girls etc
