Your false claim is false. The taken party being someone the protagonist is just interested in is not netorare.False. There are NTR works where the "taken" party is someone the protagonist is just pining for but isn't in a relationship with, or is even part of their family (with no incest going on, though again the protagonist may WANT there to be), as well as ones written from the viewpoint of the "taken" party with the "taken from" party never even finding out. It's a REALLY difficult fetish to write an accurate, succinct definition for.
NTR, as mentioned, in Japanese literally means cuckold. A cuckold is someone who is being cheated on by his wife and nobody else than a wife by definition. I'd agree that a girlfriend can be included in that term, though. Proof attached.
But they do not mean almost the same. Protagonist being actively cheated on without his consent, Protagonist being cheated on with his consent, and Protagonist cheating on someone else with his interest. They are very different.Add the Netorase and Netori tags it was discussed hundred of times for users and everytime leads to nowhere because the Mods and even Sam think they are a useless, "why add tags that means almost the same? People will be confused", and still mods and developers add the wrong tags to the games, a "NTR" game is tagged like "cheating", cheating like NTR, some NTR aren't even tagged, some games change the tag many times in the same day, from NTR to Non-NTR. And you will never see other game with those problems.
