There are actually many games doing that, some devs wanna gain more exposure, some devs wanna try things differently, some just shamefully want a share of gay porn money, you really can't tell what's their intention.
But when any question regarding its "gay" tag got ignored, you know there are some bad faith in there.
(I was talking about "Parasite Black" which recently got the "gay" tag)
It's upsetting, but "gays" are still minority, I can understand why the "gay" tag works this way.
Most gay men won't scream and storm off the room in fear when they see vagina, while a lot of straight men would when they see other men's penis.
(In fact, I even enjoy some straight sex scenes when the males are hot and not be blocked by booba)
The thing is, people outside of LGBTQA+ group have different definition of "gay" from those within.
So unless:
- there's a content checking system to ensure qualifier;
- we start to use different terms for Femboy/siss/trap from ... I don't know, maybe "Bara"? - the gay contents gay want to see.
I'm not sure there are better ways to tag, to save us some headache - hey, at least we don't need to pay here, so you only waste time
I think it's the direction the game heading. I assume you refer to "detailed text writing" V.S "animation with a few lines of description"?
IMO The latter is much easier once you get a hang on it, since it requires less creativity.
