[MEGATHREAD] New Tags Suggestions

[kouyo]

This thread is for suggesting and discussing new tags to be implemented on MangaDex.
Read the guidelines below then post your suggestion as a reply here.

All tags are subject to review by the mod team and are not guaranteed to be added.

---

Guidelines:​

1. The tag should represent a broad theme or concept that can apply to many different series. Avoid tags that are too niche or abstract. Providing examples is encouraged to clarify where it would be used.
2. Provide a clear explanation of the tag's purpose and what type of content it's meant to categorize. At the very least your suggestion should answer the question: What type of content is it meant to categorize?
3. Avoid suggesting tags that could closely overlap with existing ones. If unsure, check our Tags Definition for guidance, ask if you're still unsure.
4. Tags should primarily focus on describing the content itself, such as its themes, genres, or storytelling structure. Tags that focus on external conditions or processes will be rejected. Other types of tags may be accepted, provided they help users identify the reading structure or navigational format of the content.
5. All suggested tags must align with our site rules. Tags for content that violates these rules will not be accepted.

Important:​

Currently a rework is being done to handle "porn tags". This new system will allow us to categorize these tags to flag them appropriately and segregate them from the main list of tags. Suggestions for these tags will not be considered at this time.

The issue is that people don't really do that.

Well, just enforce them. Just like MDX enforce manga entry here to have demographic tags.

 

[BzzBzz]

Shouldn't every hentai be tagged "educational" then? Because it shows how to... and in many cases it's very detailed 😝

 

[Jstar338]

Prostitution. there's too many damn series with that as a core to their story

 

[Saipulipoel]

I think we need CGDCT (Cute girl doing cute thing) tag

 

[borgo42]

Futanari shouldn't be tagged as Girls' Love.

 

[TestAddress]

Oh boy NICE tags...

• Succubus
• Slavery

 

[TestAddress]

Futanari shouldn't be tagged as Girls' Love.

Didn't know I will encounter dicks in GL.

If that is so... Yuri and Tancho is actually GL? I forgot the name of that elf manga... but I remember Kawakami Masaki well.

 

[TestAddress]

Vore

Vore == Fat Bastard most of the time, like that "Nurarhyon in the house." Nuraryon sumu ie de.

 

[TestAddress]

Xianxia is a helpful tag because I want to BLOCK them all.

 

[TestAddress]

Prostitution. there's too many damn series with that as a core to their story

Never read them ever in Mangadex, saw one, but I glossed it. I think it was Isekai Cabaret Gyaru?

 

[TGN]

Bittersweet -- The only tag to identify emotional, heart-breaking works is "tragedy", but that's quite the strong qualifier. Might be a bit of a niche tag though

 

[TestAddress]

Futanari shouldn't be tagged as Girls' Love.

The moment they got dick and balls they became man.

 

[usodan]

Primarily Male Cast & Primarily Female Cast. Demographic tags can only do so much.

"Misunderstanding/s" tag suggestion​

Can we just add a tag or two to the options the first of which would basically translate to:
Misunderstanding/s
-Stories containing copious amounts of extremely derived misunderstandings that move the plot along in place of original ideas and/or good writing.

And respectively a tag for stories, typically romance focused ones, where instead of constant lazy derived misunderstandings you have one big one at the end that creates faux stakes that typically drive the plot in the final arc which could've been avoided if the writer had a brain. Don't know how to distinguish this second one from the first, though I guess they could both be under the same monicker.

Would really help me to stop wasting my time with hack writers.

 

[Manko-sensei]

Isn't that just Comedy + Romance + Shounen + Suggestive? Normally the description boasts about being a revolutionary comedy (even without the Romance tag) or an extremely original romcom/isekai. I don't know how but I just manage to avoid those series, must be the work of a wizard.

 

[Painasbread]

I mean, you'd have to use it on every romcom at this point.
What's a good romcom without its spoonful of misunderstandings?

Misunderstandings aren't necessarily bad, but when they're never cleared up because of a nonsense reason, just to leave us in constant anticipation... Usually they give us a glimmer of hope too, then bam, they just can't talk about the problem anymore because they're not written to do so, which indeed feels very forced and bad to read most of the time.

The issue isn't with the rythmic but more with the authors' skills at this point, and that, you have to try to read and see if it's good or not, can't avoid it. You'll get better at eliminating this type of writing over time.
Just hope it doesn't become even more popular

 

[TestAddress]

Tag the reader. E.g. [NSFW] reader, [GUNG-Ho] reader, anything aside from that

banned

You could have any of those tags and could end up with a story that doesn't contain contrived misunderstandings. It might be unlikely, I don't know for sure, but a separate tag would remove any guess work.

 

[tobias5678]

Misunderstanding tag is good but who will add? It is just bloat.

Perhaps a scanlation related tag to archive the guides people make like:

https://mangadex.org/title/08e1f85a-bb12-4fe4-aec5-0d7a80b3a261/anonblack-s-typesetting-guide
https://mangadex.org/title/e3185d36-0bda-4930-9cf4-75b593191f73/the-scanco-scanlation-guide
https://mangadex.org/title/b45f066b.../ero-otoko-s-guide-to-translating-and-editing

There's no question mangadex is the most scanlator friendly site, would be lovely to have some organized way of collecting and preserving the image based guides and font sheets people in the scene make
