Sorry, this has come up many times. I believe their official position is that they never want to turn users away from content. People's tastes change all the time and even if you think never means never, sometimes it doesn't truly mean "never". The negative consequence of tag filtering is that it creates a feedback loop. If a large group of people refuses to even consider reading a manga with a certain tag, then people will draw less of it. Why even bother if so many people won't even entertain the thought? It's unfair to the creator if their works become completely invisible this way.
On the other side of things, if a reader never, ever exposes themselves to what they perceive as unpleasant, then they'll also rule out any possibility of ever coming to appreciate it. Sure, maybe it doesn't happen super often, but it really does happen. And when it does, it can open a whole new world for that person.
I think people perceive this as being user unfriendly, but they really need to understand that there are in fact negative consequences to consider.
Since you mentioned, "rape" falls under the "forced" tag.
That's a reasonable enough viewpoint, but I must agree with OP here. There should be a way to tell the site "I don't
ever want to see stuff tagged with ugly bastard. Ever. My tastes on this are not going to change." In short, leave anything with that tag out of my search results.
I'd also like to be able to designate other tags as ones I merely dislike. I don't much care for NTR (why that needs a whole group of tags here, I've no idea), but I
have seen a couple of doujinshi with NTR that I liked. I'd be fine with NTR content still showing up in my search results, just maybe collapse it down to just the titles or something.
