THERE IS NO netorare, its false advertising... yet to see any so called netorare content in this game what so ever....
I didn't tag it with NTR myself, some mod added it, presumably due to some reporting. Personally, I wouldn't add it, but I've also just ignore it. The community should decide how to tag the games, not me.
Netorase is all with consent from all parties involved which is untrue for Netorare so while you would be justified in feeling this way, there's nothing the dev can do about it since f95 still has many netorare variants fall under the same giant umbrella of the Netorare tag.
There is cuckolding. And NTR is the closest tag that comes to cuckolding.
I, personally, disagree with this. Looking at the tags, netorase/cuckolding scenes in the game perfectly falls under the swinging tag, not the netorare one.
- Netorare [Designed to cause jealousy by having the romantic interest involved with someone other than the MC.]
- Swinging [A couple allowing one or both partners to have sex with a third party.]
So, there is a tag on F95 right for that content.
Although I would argue there is netorare happening at one point in the game, it just doesn't happen to you specifically, and it's also not up in your face about it, I still wouldn't tag this VN with Netorare, but a character is indeed being cheated on without their consent or knowing.
This further muddies the waters because what people call netorare and swinging in general, doesn't perfectly align with what the definitions are in F95. Here, the tag is just about an LI being with someone else than the MC, which excludes that situation.
For that case, I added the cheating tag, that perfectly fits the bill.
- Cheating [A significant other having sex with someone other than their partner.]
If I presented you these three tags:
- A [Designed to cause jealousy by having the romantic interest involved with someone other than the MC.]
- B [A couple allowing one or both partners to have sex with a third party.]
- C [A significant other having sex with someone other than their partner.]
It'd be a stretch to say any of the scenes with Lea, Kim, Deb, or Jen fall in the tag A.
And, funnily enough, it'd also be impossible to distinguish between B and C, unless you assume the C is behind the partner back, aka cheating. That's not in the definition, though. But it's the name of the tag, so let's assume so.
In that case, the scenes in the game would either be tag B, when the sharing is consensual;
or C, when it's not, but it's the MC cheating on the girl/ fucking a girl in a relationship with other guy (and not the MC being cheated on/being jealous - in that case it'd be, rightfully, tag A).
Perhaps you could make an argument that Deb, Kim and Olivia starting the game with a boyfriend other than the MC could fit in the tag A description. But that would be conceding that, any game that at some point has a girl in a relationship with someone other than the MC should be tagged with NTR. I've seen that argument being made, but I find it unreasonable.
Anyway, it's just a quirk of this particular tagging. And, to be fair, it's not an easy problem to fix, given how much people can get
passionate about this topic. It should get better with the new system, though.
That being said, for all the discussions that this site has about NTR, I saw zero diference between having the tag or not, so, who cares? I'll certainly not start a fight about this. Sorry for those that came here and where misled by the tag... something tells me this wasn't the first time it happened.
