Need LGBT appropriate tags :rejected:

[Granitefish]

They've already decided to remove a tag in v5 because it's a term made by the Western community and not used widely in Japan, why would they add another one in it's place? Additionally the suggestion isn't just about adding the bara tag, which I suspect would get an entirely different reaction, it's about how the site "Needs LGBT appropriate Tags" which is not only a different suggestion but comes across as a demand not a suggestion.

@nonameanonymous82435 I think you need to read the whole thread and see that this isn't the first time I've commented in it. You absolute walnut. I don't even know what website you're talking about either.

@Sierratine Then why do we have a Samurai tag, as well?

@Granitefish Sure the title of the post isn't great, but OP only suggested adding bara, a legitimate, Japanese originating genre descriptor. People are getting hung up on the yuri side of things.

@bestboy
Then perhaps you're not as [alphabet people]- friendly as you'd like to believe. Just like the op who clealy just wants larp a non-issue and has no idea what they are talking about.

Then again... with another case of moral dunning-kruger in frothing champion of adjective-rights what else is new?

 

[BestBoy]

@nonameanonymous82435 Because I don't visit a website? Get lost you troll.

 

[nameless_incognito]

@bestboy
Yes, simply because it is the THE site to go to if you're interested in the L part of the alphabet and mango. Consequently that's how I know you're just another lazy larper who couldn't even be bothered to do something as basic as googling "dynasty+yuri" instead of flashing their ignorance like its another notch on a personal achievement oppression belt.

 

[BestBoy]

@nonameanonymous82435 I'm not a lesbian. Why would I visit the site? I haven't even suggested a change to the yuri tag. I've only been supporting adding the bara tag. Are you confusing me with someone else?

 

[nameless_incognito]

@bestboy
Then why act like you should know about the site which suggests personal investment in that aspect of the matter at hand? Why did you bring it up? Jesus, you argue like all the women I've been in relationships with. You went rogue.

....aren't you confusing me with your brain dead social circle?

edit: oh, and to answer your earlier confusion - I know this isn't the first time you commented here. That's why I cited the part I'd found to be completely bonkers, because no one was even implying that kind of mindset through their writing in relation to bara tag.

Now be honest bub - you just needed smooth segway into grandstanding that followed?

 

[Sierratine]

@BestBoy alright maybe that was somewhat of a bad example but my point is that historical as well as most other tags encompass a large amount of manga which is how it should be in my opinion. Anyways, Samurai only has 123 titles compared to the 2 thousand historical titles and I don't think it deserves a tag either if this wasn't a website for manga but that's a bit off topic.

@Bestboy Acknowledging the OP completely messed up his title is not enough if you want to be fair. He messed up his defense of bara by never mentioning that beyond his OP. He brought up politics by hinting at him be flamed. He never even clarified that was what he wanted when I kindly voiced my opposition to his statements.

For those that did pick up on what he wanted, he never acknowledged that they were right, only you brought up this whole spheal about Bara which honestly I don't see the majority opposing, but the OP did not defend that suggestion at all.

Also his argument was more about tagging something that catered to his people. Bara, if I understand correctly is a subdivision of Yaoi with manly men and no feminine looking men. How again does that cater specifically only to LGBT? I am generalizing but I'm sure heterosexual fujos would eat that up. In fact since I'm not one what do the LGBT as a group actually want in their works? This isn't cut and dry like shounen/shoujo/seinen/josei which just is based on generalities. Even that doesn't work because I liked Seinen when I was a teenager, and now as an adult, Shoujo works for me sometimes. He would still get the problem of not finding works that caters to him even if we implented bara which I in no way oppose. Let's go further, what do heterosexuals as a whole want in their homosexual fiction. I'm sure that they aren't that monolithic.

That is my point with his tag suggestion, it wouldn't do jack, just research some works you like to read, talk to friends, connoisseurs, read the synopsis, know your authors. Tags is the lightest filter and will only ever be just that.

What's worse than foolishness?

Foolishness that makes me uncomfortable.

 

[Beer_Kitty]

No.

The tags are good as they can be. No need to be specific about something literally screams "go to a hentai doujinshi site".

Is it so hard to read 1-3chapters to find out if its for you?

Just waste 5-10mins of your time. Unless you're fapping while reading (which is so gross).

@nonameanonymous82435 I didn't bring up this website you keep talking about. You did. Did you think me saying "your local gay community" was in reference to that? Because I was talking about real world gay communities, not internet ones. The comment you cited earlier was in direct reference to that huge wall of text about "complaining about small grievances online undermines the activities of the group as a whole."

@Sierratine We have a bunch of tags for really niche genres. We jumped the "tags are for large genres only" shark a long time ago. "Medical" has 149 titles, "Magical Girls" has 143, "Philosophical" has 172, "Superhero" has 172.

@Nepuserreader All of his complaints about yaoi having women as their target demographic are in support of bara since bara is gay manga targeted towards men. Your understanding of bara is incorrect, as well. Yaoi and bara are distinct genres with different storytelling and different target demographics. Thing is, though, that's how these suggestion threads go typically. OP comes in hot with a wild suggestion and other users help refine it till it's something actually workable. Like adding bara as a tag.

edit: additionally, tags are becoming the tool with which to find incredibly specific genres of manga. For instance we literally just had "villainess" added as a tag. Tags are no longer the lightest filter. They are the bespoke tool for finding your manga.

 

[Sierratine]

@BestBoy Yeah I guess you're right about that. I feel like that stuff should fall under themes and not genres but that's a different topic so nevermind.

 

[Mr_Detective]

Would you like a rainbow flag with those tags?

 

[nameless_incognito]

@bestboy
1) Yes, and I've very clearly stated that it is L-oriented. Then, with that knowledgle in mind, you acted like you should've been aware of it, but then dismissed the point - which you yourself have brought up - when I did repeat that it is about gl.

...could you please keep track of your own bs?

2) That "wall of text" was generally referring to the idea as a non-issue and there's nothing bara-specific in there. But that's assuming the worst from the user. Asumming the best would've been that this person actually cares about the state of affairs and wants the best for people in question.

...but hey, if you really do want to pretend that acting like an entitled lazy bitchy five year old and keyboard crusading non-issues will further ahead your agenda then by all means, do go on and continue. My heart warms up every time Alyssa Milano opens up her mouth and it's not because she owes me fellatios. If you want to collectivize the "fight" for your cause by bringing together different people with different interests and not holding them to any scrutiny then be prepared to be judged by your annoying, bad and worst - but never best - actors.

Because you will be, deservingly so. Like it was the case with that crossdresser roleplaying as trans-person who ended up being charged with molesting children. Or with those blm thugs who'd recorded destroying a racoon and posted the video on twitter about a week ago. Or with those peaceful antifa symphatizers who'd shot a white woman after having verbal confrontation with her group of friends in June or July.

Don't do drugs, kids.

 

[comeonnow0]

I feel like OP could've avoided most of this if he had just titled the thread something more direct like "Need A Bara Tag".

@Halo
Well I didn't take my lithium today, you think anyone can tell?

@masonery

uhh i didn't read the entire thread or even the first post for that matter but i hate [REDACTED] and i want to filter out that garbage that's my input

Holy fucking shit.

@nonameanonymous82435 I never acted like anyone should be aware of whatever it is you're implying. Not sure where you're getting the idea. If you're curious where I got my read of that wall of text, here's what jumps out at me (multiple times) in their comment:

I get that LGBTQ+ is a nice to have when you are interested in reading about it but it is an entitled request which undermines a cause that in a lot of places are still struggling to be accepted as a norm. You're giving people excuses to undermine something before they understand it.

Which is why I said it was ridiculous to say adding a tag on an illegal manga website would have any real world impact. Because it is.

I'm a little concerned for your well being now that you've said you skipped your medication. Hope you have a better day than what you're having now.
