Please, please, can we get folks to stop using the "Bestiality" tag for things which already have their own specific tags?
"Tentacles" refers to a very specific kind of content, but folks also tag anything with tentacles as "Bestiality" and thus makes the "Bestiality" tag incredibly useless.
Like, nobody cares if the tentacle monster is sapient, humanoid or a mass of flesh; the appeal of the fetish that It's tentacles.
But know what's incredibly frustrating? Trying to search for non-tentacle/bug-type "Bestiality".
Because anytime a game includes both the tags "Bestiality" and "Tentacles", there's a pretty unfortunate chance the game ONLY contains tentacles... Or more frustratingly includes tentacles, some insects and fuck-all-else.
We need to make "Bestiality" a mutually-exclusive term/tag.
We need to separate it from its use alongside "tentacles" and, if possible, insects...
Because whilst all of these may fall under 'Bestiality' in reality, the appeals of these specific creatures and bodies are vastly different.
Tentacles appeal to folks that enjoy the squish, the slime and the squid-y feels.
Bugs appeal to the freaks whomst enjoy creepy-crawly and gooey things.
But most folks searching the "Bestiality" specifically are NOT into those things.
Most are looking for mammalian critters, perhaps the occasional fish or somesuch.
This is a major flaw in tagging, right now.
Because in essence, the "Tentacles" tag renders "Bestiality" meaningless due to the latter being slapped on alongside the former regardless of whether there's anything other than tentacles in the game or not.
It's almost as bad as when we had no way to tell if a game featured Netori or Netorare when it was tagged "NTR"...
Now we can search "Cheating" and those in the know can at least avoid Netorare without missing out on Netori...
But "Bestiality" is in dire need of distancing from "Tentacles" and "Bugs"/"Insects" or whatever.
