Wait, you've got it backwards. "Close to nonexistent" means it is still there, therefore it technically qualifies for the tag. And technicalities are the sort of thing you get from specifics, not vibes.
More rigid qualifications just means more bizarre loopholes, meaning the qualifications wind up more specific to try and plug the loopholes, but also makes the whole process and its rules more arbitrary to the layman. In response to the new rules, the loopholes get even more bizarre, and on and on and on. This is why any beaurocratic regulatory institution grows endlessly and gets completely incomprehensible and borderline unusable after a while.
It's either gonna wind up as subjective input from the mods/the community at large or we're going to be having legal debates on the exact percentage of screen time man-dongs are allowed to be present before it's no longer gay.
And you still completely miss the point.
We need more accurate tags because we don't want content that is
technically there. We want accurate tags because the content is the main or even the only focus of the game.
We don't want more bizarre loopholes, we don't want loopholes at all.
Your way of thinking is "There is a problem, so ignore the problem, because it could be worse"
Our way of thinking is "There is a problem, so let's find a solution to get rid of the problem altogether"
We are aware there are loopholes, that's why we are debating to find a way to get rid of them. We are plenty aware that as for any problem, the perfect solution doesn't exist. That doesn't mean every solution has to be ignored.
When I play a lesbian game, I have two simple expectations:
-No male POV (like The god of Yuri School, like seriously, WTF?!)
-And... you know... most of the interactions/romances/sex stuff being between women. AKA, no dicks involved
When none of them are prominent in the game, I don't care about the
technicalities or
vibes. yes, there might be lesbian content in the game. yes, the game qualifies for the lesbian tag.
And that's exactly why we need tags that explicitly focus on lesbian content, aka "lesbian protagonist", "lesbian route", "lesbian only", and "women only".
And yes, it's still not perfect, considering some games have a good amount of lesbian content but also as much straight or gay content, and those games would be left out by some of those tags. That's why we are debating to try and find a solution.
