I agree with this. The dev will do whatever he wants, in any case, the tags here should reflect what the game is about, which, with the current tags on F95 and what they mean, it's an absolute mess, especially for gay/lesbian/Bi games. This game has the gay, lesbian, and vaginal tags, but the difinition of the tags here is "At least there is one scene with... XXX" (replace XXX with Gay, Futa, lesbian, NTR, etc...) but does not say what the game is focused on.IMHO the issue with the tags is in how they are used in other games, for instance, the "gay" tag is used in a torn of games that mostly consist of M/F sex with a few M/M scenes (as I very well know when searching for a true gay game); this also means that someone searching for a mostly heterosexual game (one that may still have a few homosexual scenes, but i mostly M/F) will not discard a game because it bears the "gay" tag. But this also applies to the other tags.
What I am trying to say is that tags only represent that a game "contains some of XX" and that is a thing, but most complaints and misunderstanding are about "is the XX characteristic prevalent in this game?". That either requires a different set of tags (that signal the characteristic in question not only is present but prevalent) or a section of the introductory post that explains this in a quickly readable form (checkmarks, sliders, bullet points).
You can use the description field (That's what I did in my game) and people STILL DON'T READ IT. My game has the futa/trans tag because it has one scene with a trans man, and the sissification tag because two scenes about it, but I don't even have a dedicated storyline for these tags, and people get confused, and I can't blame them. I also explained the tags on the dev notes section but it's useless.
And that's WITH the dev here. LfA dev didn't upload the game here, so he doesn't have to answer for anything that happens here. And the uploaders won't play every update of the game to reflect what the game is about. We have the power to report missing tags, and that's good, but the tag system we have is flawed. There's an update to the site planned where tags that address this issue will be implemented, but I think I will finish my next project before we get to see it .
