I mean the first thing, where yes, you can filter searches and exclude maledom but if you do that, you lose a pretty good chunk of potentially good games since they try to cater to both (its getting rarer and rarer and there is only a few good games that are both, but I really rather not miss one just because I excluded one)I assume you mean filter out of games? Because one of the features on the new front page is exactly a double filter, so that you can search for games via both included and excluded tags?! So, I'll assume you mean games which don't mix the two. In the last case I completely agree. I am okay if at least there are vacuum-sealed, separate paths. As time goes, I am less and less willing to even try games where the femdom is but a scene or two in a soup of everything else.
In fact I observed another issue which is even harder for devs to implement. Namely: femdom is a wide genre, and some games fall into the habit of trying to feature as much of its width as possible, sometimes with the result of them becoming rather shallow. For example, they may employ scenes as a continuously changing list of fetishes, and when they "enumerated" all of them they know, the game ends. So, basically we get an introductory overview of femdom, rather than a story. I know, that this in many cases is done to please as many of the already few femdom fandom as possible, but it results in games with less depth. What I would advocate for is games where the fetishes are in some logical synergy [have some inner logic with the story] with the narrative, and thus explore certain aspects deeper than others. Or at least have the fetishes spread accross multiple chars, and not in the mechanical fashion of girl X = foot fetish, girl Z = facesitting, and girl Y = findom, etc.
I really do hate that tags are supposed to be "warnings" like...honestly? GTFO about being triggered or whatever over any little content you might not like or disagree with, like if you can't handle the chance, the slight possibility this thing happens that you don't like...you probably aren't supposed to be playing these kinds of games anyway. I feel like tags should...you know....denote actual content. Like if you're going to tag something "femdom" I would like to assume at least 40%+ of the game is centered around that theme. Maybe fudging a little bit if your game has dedicated charcter/route to it specifically.
I mean I do understand, somethings can really "kill a boner" or ruin the enjoyment of a game by something shockingly coming out of nowhere but like...just kinda accept it and move on? especially if its just a one-of thing. I think this website would be far more efficient with tags that actually reflect what you're playing, not "what you may run into that you don't like"
