People use the tags for multiple reasons. I know I look for certain tags, but will turn my interest elsewhere if I see other tags. I actively look for incest stuff, so to me it's frustrating that I might download a game, only to find out that the incest tag is for two NPCs that are step cousins having some lesbian fun while the PC watches. For me, that wouldn't really be worthy of the incest tag, or at least not what I was looking for. But at the same time I can see how people really turned off by incest wouldn't see it that way, and would appreciate the tag.
It goes without saying that a lot of people do not like the idea of rape. Even anything that hints at it is a turnoff to them, or even painful. You'll often see that reflected in content advisories for tv shows or movies where anything vaguely rape-ish earns the show that warning, although it's not always consistent.
NTR is something else that a lot of people don't like, but for different reasons obviously. It's not just the stuff that falls under the strict definition of NTR that they don't like, but an awful lot of stuff leading up to or implying it. There was a lot of that going on in the game, especially in the last update. We don't really have an easy term for "it's not NTR but if you don't like that, you won't like this either". So we're kind of left with a tagging system that on the one hand risks drawing people in who want NTR but leave disappointed, while on the other hand risks not warning people that things sure feel like they're heading that way. I don't think there's really an easy way to find a balance between the two, because two sides of the debate use the tag differently and have different expectations for what it means. Like others, I've gotten used to digging through comments for clarification on some tags, but that isn't always quick or easy. But if I don't see a tag at all, I can't get clarification on it, so that kind of biases me to being liberal with applying tags versus risk leaving something out.
