"company fucks everyone" and its associates (inspired, passingly related, etc.) are not Waifu Catalog, despite its proponents' insistence that they're the only Waifu Catalog, and should not be merged into it.
Don't forget House of the Dead, or (eventually, soon enough) Highschool of the Dragon.
Every "[something] au" should be merged with "[something]" and "au" should be used as a separate tag
... Why on earth would they merge Yaoi and Yuri into the same tag? People looking for one of those are unlikely to be happy to be suggested the other. And why are you including in your list stuff like "feminine_mc" and "saga_of_tanya"??
(Parahumans) is good for disambiguation, and I wish more people used it. As I recall, Worm is published on Parahumans website, and has a sequel Ward, probably also published there.
I was showing an example using my own excluded tag filter, the reason tanya is there is because there is three tags for it "saga_of_tanya_the_evil, tanya_degurechaff, youjo_senki" all three are the same anime, "feminine_mc" falls in either femboy, androgynous or genderless. As for yaoi yuri in one tag I wasn't i was referring to making something like a branch of tags "Lgbt(gay/yaoi), Lgbt(bisexual), Lgbt(lesbian/yuri) Lgbt(Trans man), Lgbt(Trans women), ect."
It's a forum, people don't need to be told to post, they either will or they won't.1) you should separate out your recommendations, as others have done, into separate subcategories. Don't just dump a list of "here is everything I want to be able to search for".
1) Not what I want to search for, it wasn't a recommendation it was an example of how much I have to filter to get stories without said elements.
You seem to be assuming we'll have an entire systems of tags and sub-tags so you could search (or exclude) either the entire group of tags, or specific sub-tags in the group.
Right, but - why? You keep repeating the same proposal but that's not making it any clearer as to how this would help clear up misspellings, etc? There's an obvious reason to merge "my hero academia" and "boku no hero academia", for instance, or to merge "futa" and "futanari", but I don't see how making these "LGBT(gay/yaoi)" or whatever tags is going to help over just having "gay" and "lesbian" (or "yaoi" and "yuri", or whatever we end up standardising on)?
Ah true I got too ahead of myself, thinking of a different way of tagging.
I think it's fair to make the distinction between using AI images and AI-assisted writing.
I think both of these could be consolidated into just "Nikke", since that's what everyone calls it, rather than dropping the whole name, but if you want to be really clear, then both work equally well, and you could just pick one.
1. Just edit your old post.
don't forget 'gacha', some folks leave off the chaos bit
