Is there a reason why? I don't think that it's unreasonable for a user (me) to ask if they can have some tool to filter out stories somebody wrote involving graphic, explicit, sexual situations involving minors.
Because it would inconvenience literally everyone and make a lot more work for the mods (rules without actual enforcement are useless) for... what? A handful of people that can't skip a sex scene in the handful of stories that don't make it obvious it'll have smut of the sort?
It's a story tag on a website that already has tags, there would be 0 inconvenience for everyone else. Mod enforcement wouldn't be difficult either: Are the characters involved under 18->tag.
Reminding and forcing everyone to put that one tag is an inconvenience. You have to be either delusional or lying through your teeth to think otherwise. Going back to the 16k~ NSFW story threads that already exist is quite a bit more than that. Mod enforcement means that they have to check it to some degree when there are a dozen other more important things to do.
1. Going back to the 16k~ NSFW story threads: Rules don't have to reach back in time, they could just be implemented moving forward.
Even if this were done, currently there isn't an option available to automatically blacklist or ignore all threads with an undesired tag. I would know because I've asked before and gotten the answer that it's not feasible without paying for extra software development for the site. So this wouldn't do what you really want it to even if it were implemented.
There is.
I'm sorry it bothers you, but the staff don't see it that way. Fiction is fiction on QQ, and that's the long and short of it. If it's NSFW, it should be in NSFW, but, to QQ staff, 'loli'/'shota' isn't any more notable than 'rape', 'vore', 'unbirth', 'scat', or many other fetishes that some may find unpleasant. We aren't going to enforce tagging in any of those, or possible other, cases, for the reasons I laid out at the top.
And to further muddy the waters what would we consider underage?
Don't forget historical context as well. I'm working on a Yu-Gi-Oh/Red River crossover. That takes place in the 1300s BC. Having the characters be 16 or 17, as planned, will be breaking historical authenticity as it is.
Then to be perfectly blunt and clear, QQ is not the site for you. This site is for all those who like weird, wacky, kinky, or just things that are ok in words but not reality.
I seem to be having the same problem, apparently, so this is my last attempt. I guess I can refer back to these answers when this comes up again, as it assuredly will.
If that's the case, where's their thread?How many times have people on QQ whined about all the icky Yaoi in Ao3 they have to put effort into filtering out?
If this was about NTR or Futa or Yaoi, I have the feeling a lot of people in this thread would be up in arms at the idea of being "forced" to read these "horrible disgusting kinks that are trash" simply because tagging was an "inconvenience"
And I say this as someone rolling their eyes at the OP's "concern" over the site's laxity towards fictional underage sex
Somebody commission Cambrian to lewd the personification of QQ.
"X is a trash fetish" style punching down is normalized enough on QQ that most people don't bother making a specific thread arguing for it (though there is the Ao3 rants thread), most of the time its just comments/arguments in other threads*, even then we already had at least two-ish threads recently about some dudes whining about "not being able to avoid yaoi" and about "too many tags that I need to filter out to avoid stories with gay/bisexual protagonists so please limit tag creation!".
Lol the "warning tags" (like underage sex or "author didn't use warning tags (so caveat emptor)") are completely separate to the "kink tags" (which, depending one what turns you on/off can also double as warning tags LMAO)
I mean, like, I get it. It's a huge turn off for me when the underage aspect is the point of the scene. But like, real people, real consenting adults, are into ageplay. Me? Not so much, but I don't think that a fictional story (Especially one that includes anime characters, which, let's be real, barely look like humans. Like, if I saw an anime character rendered in real life in a dark alleyway, I'd go for my gun) is any different from that. For all intents and purposes, everyone in any dark fetish story, is, to my mind, just a very dedicated roleplayer. Because they're not real.
Hey how do you filter on AO3 ? Because, I'm not gonna lie, shitty Yaoi story are really bad in some fandom, Harry Potter and mha being the worst I've seen personally. Although there was some good one.How many times have people on QQ whined about all the icky Yaoi in Ao3 they have to put effort into filtering out?
If this was about NTR or Futa or Yaoi, I have the feeling a lot of people in this thread would be up in arms at the idea of being "forced" to read these "horrible disgusting kinks that are trash" simply because tagging was an "inconvenience"

When you are in the fandom category you want at the top is filters go to exclude under category select m/m
Someone posted just a few weeks back asking for a mandatory yaoi filter because they didn't want to wee threads with it in the forum index
Haha, I remember that, I was a part of that...hmm, let's go with 'discussion'.
