What are some overrated or overused tags/fetishes in many games. For me one has to be anal sex, it really is presented as a next level progression reward with a girl and such and i personally never really found it to be better than vaginal sex. Another gotta be milf tag. It seems that a milf a prerequisite for any game nowadays and some are predominately focused on it, I never really understood the whole obsession with middle aged ladies.

Really? Not gonna start with Incest?
I'll toss in loli. Not the 5000 year-old elf loli, but the clearly prepubescent loli. Most of them are straight up terrible in nearly every regard, but it's such an underserved niche (and, arguably, rightfully so.) that they're willing to shit out money to support obvious cashgrabs.

Yeah you are right about loli. I'm ok for 2dcg japanese games , because it is often art style, but in 3dcg games I avoid them cause it's just too realistic and borderline.

Gotta agree on the anal thing. But also, sometimes its like the Master Sword of sex, but then sometimes someone will be like "you're my son so we can't have sex, so just stick it in my ass and it doesn't count." But yeah, I always preferred vaginal IRL. Well... once I was out of my early 20s at least. Only do anal if she really likes and wants it and its a turn on for her.
But I DO love the milfs. Sorry I can't back you on that one lol.

Even vaginal sex as the final goal is overrated, many forms of teasing often times surpass vaginal in my opinion.
Full nudity is also overrated, fully or partially clothed sex is often more kinky.

Other than hand holding, I will vote for rape.
Raping someone is making you just like animals in nature.
Especially I hate mind control shits, there's no difference between rape and mind control in logic.
I'm especially saying this because whenever I decide to play adult games same things happening:
1: Main character is beta and apologize for everything in every fuckin' time.
2: Main character is rapist ( include mind control shits here ) and certified asshole.

Hmm, none ?
Some would say femDom, maleDom or BDSM, but it's not because too many devs believe that they mean, respectively, "men hating bitch", "macho caveman", and "rape me daddy", that they are effectively overrated. The tags are not responsible for their misuse, nor are they for their correct use.
Plus, like they address personal taste, how could they be overrated ? Overused, yeah, this they can, but overrated, unless stating that your taste should be universal, no, it's not something possible.

None.
Do we need a better tag system?
Yes.
Are some tag's overrated?
No.
Personal preference's are perfectly fine and it is good to be able to avoid the dreaded femdom.

I see your point and I raise "no sexual content" as a counter. Sure clothed teasing can be hot but sometimes it really is just a cookie cutter beat'em'up/2D platformer with jiggle physics. Might as well allow God of War or Stardew Valley on here at that point.

Oh, really ? Then why are you answering totally outside of it ?
Well, it's not because, accordingly to your own taste, you dislike an use, that the tag is overrated.
Because the presence, or lack of, sexual content isn't the only criteria.
And what are these other criteria? There clearly has to be some kind of boundary to keep the site out of the public eye (and thus lawsuits from AAA publishers) but why have any of these games on this specific site at all? You say no tag can be overrated because the term refers to personal preferences but in this case it's about the technical scope, I do play and enjoy non-pornographic games too yet I don't go looking for guides on PornHub. If there is no intent to depict sex how is the tag not "overrated" on a porn pirate site?

Globally, there need to be obvious romance and/or lewd content. And, well, God of War... except really badly wrote none consensual BDSM, I don't really see.
It also need to be the main theme for the story/game, what also disqualify Mass Effect.
Had to vent about this. Pregnancy. I'm fine with adding pregnant side character for the sake of variety, but impregnation always feels wrong for me for 2 reasons:
1) I always consider it to be a failed state for character (or a bad ending) and it was a great surprise for me when I saw games where this is, like, the final goal.
2) In some games it gives me uneasy rape vibes.
Yet on first page of many games threads you can see a question about adding it in the future.

Tags I don't like = overrated
Are we still talking about games?
IMHO tags serve two purposes, "negative" and "positive". By "Negative" I refer to "warning" player that the game contains themes which they don't enjoy and by "positive" I refer to informing players that the game contains the fetish they enjoy.
Unfortunately, in their current state where there is no weight or focus for "main" tags, the tagging system manages to fulfil its "negative" role of warning against undesired fetishes but fails (IMHO) when it comes to informing the player that the game is worthy of their time as it contains the fetishes they seek. The reason for this is that the frequency or weight of the fetish is not communicated, only its exitance. Thus a big tits lover, for example, will have hard time looking for a big tits focused game because any game with even a single LI in one scene will be tagged as big tits while a game where all the LIs carry watermelon-like udders will have the same tag.
The solution to this will be some sort of theme system which will be essentially tags, but games will only have a limited number of themes (5?) which will describe the most dominant fetishes in the game. This will allow fans of specific fetish to easily identify AVNs where their fetish is a main theme of AVN and not just briefly appears sporadically.
It will also, of course, open endless debates of whether a game should carry a specific theme or not...
NTR. It's on the level of scat and necrophilia for most people, yet it's somehow in as many games as other fetishes with broad appeal. Hell, if you include cheating (which you should because it's the same thing, just without the subjective "designed to cause jealousy" element), then it's in the same number of games as incest.
I think someone checked the number of ntr games just a couple of days ago and it was around 10%. which is about exactly the same as the popularity it gets on polls. not a terrible amount.
and no, cheating is not included in ntr. it's a completely different fetish with its own tag.
