‘My sister just says’, ‘that might work for him’
^ Some confusion here. Not sure whether Sally has a brother and a sister, but this bit doesn’t make sense regardless.
Was looking to see if anyone had created a 'bl' or 'gl' tag, for 'boys love' or 'girls love', and they haven't, but did find these to add:
[Blowjob - blowjobs - first time blow job - lots of blowjobs]
{#hentai - hentai} hentai
[hentai - extreme hentai]

'Hentai' probably can't be linked...
I was actually somewhat annoyed that there didn't seem to be an English shorthand for 'male homosexuality' that wasn't also used as a gender neutral term for same-sex attraction, and slash seems to have followed that trend. Yaoi fits, but that's Japanese. 'lesbian' and 'sapphic' would be its...
Done all the suggested edits so far, I think. Also tentatively made the stray 'bisexual malesub protagonist' into a Synonym of 'malesub', and found a couple more masochism/sadism tags.
Slightly annoying updating two different version of the list at once.
Rather, I made them Synonyms of 'SFW'...
So, ‘girl cock’ does sometimes have a different meaning from futa, and has more trans vibes. Will keep the dickgirl/girl cock tags separate from futa.
I get futanari in Japanese might literally mean hermaphrodite, but because futa has fetish vibes, and hermaphrodite doesn’t necessarily, I’ll...
Will do edits tomorrow, but can respond now.
'Explicit content' is fine, so will change.
Fair, will separate and put into the strays.
Will take all the violence/death mentions and group those into a separate merge and/or Synonym group.
True. Would be inclined to change it to 'futa with...
Threadmarks: Second batch (feedback 2nd June - 6th June)
Alright, this is the very large second batch (the 'smut' variants I've gathered were ~500 tags by itself). It's also a lot more prioritised/focused than the scattershot of the first.
I've formatted two versions of the list below: one organised by topic, and one with merge/Synonyms/strays in...
...don’t know what’s possible and easy in the back end, so I’ll suggest it in the relevant staff thread, and maybe it’ll be both possible and easy. *shrugs*
There are a quite a few other things that’d be useful to develop that are probably higher priority though, so keeping it as a ‘nice if it...
I don't think there's a way to do that currently?
You could take the list of popular tags, and exclude threads that have them, but that wouldn't get rid of all tagged stories (just maybe the majority). As I merge/Synonymise the most popular tags will likely be linked to even more threads, so...
I’m almost done with sorting all the tags I’ve collected into merge/Synonym groups, but I won’t be finishing before I sleep. Will have them ready to post tomorrow though. There are also a lot more tags than last batch, and a fair amount I’m unsure of, so I’m probably gonna double the feedback...
Shockingly, the porn forum has a lot of NSFW variants. Just, so many. My Notes app is straining to hold them all, lagging all over the place.
Got the 'smut', 'porn', '18+' and 'sex' tag collections. Working on lewd, and then it's NSFW, and lemons. Not sure if there are any other ways of saying...
I can make informal categories of tags, but we don't have the functionality to make a technical distinction. Adding functionality isn't something I can do, but tag categorisation is on the admin list (though I'd think a lesser priority than some other things).
With regard to [Character] tags...
*moves*
I'd consider that more the default, and generally I don't think 'no X' tags are gonna be featured too prominently, even though I'll note them in the longer list.
Agree, but, at a quick glance, there's a lot of specific cyoa tags, but there's also a bunch of generic stuff I can combine...
Yeah, those are definitely more typical examples. At least on QQ, and more generally in fanfiction, I think ‘self-insert’ and ‘crossover’/‘multicross’ are popular and broad enough categories that they also count, but I’m less sure about ‘oc insert’ and ‘character insert’. Somewhat inclined to...
It's a specific (set of) cyoa people might want to search for/exclude, but also I haven't looked at 'cyoa' and all it's variants yet (that one was caught because I searched for 'worm'). *adds to lead list*
Updated the Suggested Tags threads (1, 2) with a selection from the first batch. For usability, I didn't include every tag I've merged/Synonymised, just some highlights. I'm gonna keep a longer list in this threadmark, and link to it there.
What is a 'genre' and what is an 'element' is...
