That's not what PROTAGONIST means. Protagonist is the MAIN character, which is NOT SIDE CHARACTER.
I don't disagree with your perspective. However, that doesn't change how the tag is applied as of today.
For a period of time in the gameplay, Mary is the main character. Players control her actions just like they do with Peter, the main character for the other parts.
The way tags are denoted on F95 at this time, they aren't required to have any certain percentage of applicability in the game. If there is one sex scene out of 100 a game that is between two men, even if avoidable/skippable, it gets the
gay
tag. It just has to appear.
The current definition of the tag doesn't detail how much of the time the character needs to be in the role of the main character.
When the new tag list is activated, I can see the staff more likely to remove the tag, based upon the new definition:
Uberpie had this grand idea to have players pick multiple characters to take the leading character role at various parts of the game ... 2 or 3 years ago. When his idea seemed to fail miserably, instead of fixing/removing it - he just kept it in here. Hell, based upon his interface -- the dog Max was to have moments in the leading character role.
Blame Uberpie for this fuck up.
EDIT: Follow up thought. With Uberpie's latest, greatest, fantabulous, glorious idea of breaking the content into "Seasons" ... Season 2 could get the
Female Protagonist
tag, if the Mary selection content remains. Season 1, 3, 4, and 5 would retain the
Male Protagonist
tag.
So, the legacy of waffling may continue... Stay Tuned, true believers.
