I may have been mistaken about the exact tags surrounding the gay tag, but guro/incest/ageplay are not much better and the optics remain the same.
If you really want to get into this, several solutions were offered in previous threads and dismissed, options that would take very little effort even. Things like creating a new group of gay/straight/bi/trans and requiring one of those for every script upload. That system literally already exists for other tag groups so I don’t know why it requires new onboarding/custom plugins/etc.
If I sound frustrated, it’s probably because I am. I have to deal with this kind of insidious, ingrained, almost invisible homophobia my entire life, the kind where gay people are constantly ‘sidelined’ and ignored. My sexuality is not a fetish.
I’d also like to point out that I am not alone in feeling this way at all.
