Don't be mad at me for uploading stuff I like. Be mad that other people who share your tastes aren't uploading more (which, I believe is the result of the uploading system here).
There are alternative sites like where you can search for multiple tags and filter by tags. If you don't like Fakku, you can go there instead.
I'm not "mad" per se at you. I'm more annoyed that you ony tag like half the posts you make, and I'm assuming you're actually tagging in the first place. Talking to another scanlator, it seems anyone with the proper creds can tag ad summarize, so, I don't know who's doing what now.
And incidentally, that's my
main gripe -- not tagging stuff. There's some series that I might want to check out, but a) it's not tagged and b) one of the pics present me with what looks like a dude giving another dude a blowjob. I'm fairly certain it's woman, but, hey, without tags, why should I take a look? Yaoi doesn't interest me -- I've read it, and I find it stupid as hell. I mean, I know of some dumb plots and all in porn and non-porn, but geez, something about yaoi really just makes me wrinkle a face awfully weird.
Really, does it take
that much effort to tag right? And really, I know one scanlation's tag is totally wrong, as I read it when it was still in Japanese (and written by Nagare Ippon, but I digress).
However, I know there's a buttload more people out there that are tired of the yaoi invasion, and I'm pretty certain if they can't handle yaoi, they might not be so kind about other, more questionable content coming up on a regular.
I propose a site division of some sort, because everything is funneled down the same tube, which is mostly why people complain or make hilarious comments like, "Wait, this
isn't Yaoi? [light shines down, angels singing hallelujah]" or "Don't like NTR... don't like yaoi, either... ermmmmmmmm... dammit, gimme the NTR!" It's not a matter of ignoring it if you don't like it, not when there are huge front page announcements of it, and I'm betting a good 90% or more of traffic "Sort by Newest" first. You
could sort by tags, but it doesn't help when you can neither exclude certain tags from your search nor search for multiple tags, and having
no tags means that particular upload will never see the light of day. Hence, you have trawl through the recent stuff you don't want in order to find something you
do want.
Anyway, I say five basic divisions -- straight/het, yaoi/gay, yuri/lesbian (believe it or not, not all guys go for girl-on-girl), questionable/fetish (for your guro/scat/???? needs) and everything else/random. All news and updates go to their respective corners, no one's going to be forced to look at or trawl through things they find useless, nasty or just straight out time wasters, and everyone goes away happy to find their little corners (and hey Jacob can solicit other sites to better tailor to each corner and avoid incidents like when he ran all those gay/ts adverts to foot the bill).
