This is why explicit tagging — MM, MF, FF, etc. — is superior to the current system.
If you think about it, "lesbian" used for anything other than a 100% FF game isn't an accurate tag. Same for "gay" if the sexual content isn't exclusively MM. They'd at least have a chance of being accurate if tags were meant to refer to characters (MC or NPC) rather than events, but that's not how they're supposed to be used. It's a very poor and ham-handed way to indicate that, for instance, there's an FF sex scene or two somewhere in an otherwise MF game, which is probably close to 95% of the reason the "lesbian" tag is deployed on this site.
Add the (optional) suffix to each explicit tag and you'll solve the problem of games like The Things We Do For Love, in which about 1/3 of the game thread is people asking if the gay content can be avoided. It's just a more efficient and accurate tagging system all around.
