    :blobfearful: so that's what Promiscuous meant.

    Just to give my two cents, I am watching the thread. I don't have problems with discussing tags. All opinions are welcomed. As long as you guys can keep it civil, and able to keep a calm mind when others question your views, discuss on.

    *back to lurking mode* :blobpeek: Oba-sama will be waiting for the conclusion desu.

    Promiscuous is not quite it, either. It kinda is, but it can get some negative connotations. And it's a kinda specific behavior ~_~;;. I really prefer polyamory for MC's who pursue multiple romances, have multiple sex partners, sleep around, etc - it's more general as a term. A polygamy tag would imply polyamory, so it won't be necessary to have the two similar tags together. But polyamory doesn't necessarily imply polygamy. So in the case of harem where the MC gets to sleep with its members, polyamory would suit me fine. If he marries the harem or part of it - polygamy. And if it's a harem of girls who orbit around the dude but he doesn't touch them (or just ends up with one girl), then no additional tag necessary. I think that would be the best way to let a reader know what to expect of the MC. As the novel progresses, tags might change of course.

    Polyamory still has negatives to it though since it's about sleeping around no matter what you use there will always be people that view people that sleeping around as not a good thing. even polygamy is actually frown on a lot just people ignore it since it not that popular and not near them all that much. but google news story about the general views of the gated communities with polygamy in the US and how everyday laymen view them. we all pretty much assume they forcing teens to marry older men or women.

    For sure. Promiscuity is about sex without first forming a relationship, and that's not really what this thread is talking about. For example, character can have sex with his multiple wives and it wouldn't be considered promiscuous.

    I don't think the main issue is whether a tag has negative connotations as long as it's reflective of what's actually in the story in question. If a novel has polyamorous relationships and the tag indicates polyamorous relationships, I can't see there being anything wrong with it even if it does turn readers away.

    On the other note, polygamy in modern societies generally have more serious social problems than polygamy in historical societies. There are some positive things that you can do with the latter, but there's very little that you can do with the former. It's one thing when you have a society where maybe only the most successful 5% of men have the ability to support multiple wives and another when this kind of understanding doesn't exist. The way that excess sons are eliminated from modern polygamous communities is most definitely not something that would happen historically.

    There is a perfect tag for this:

    "Slut Protagonist"

    I would love to see a polygamy tag added to novels. Also a monogamy tag just for clarification. This chubby unicorn raises all four hooves in agreement. :aww:

    Well, then for people to use them more often lol. I've run into some hardcore cultivation world action novels that don't use them... I've had to research spoilers for a novel ahead of time to make sure. :blobsweat:

    That's what we do, we hunt for spoilers or threads discussion for them. No hating spoilers in the Tag Council huhu....

    If you find a story where the tag fits, just add them. If there is questionable activities (such as removal, tag wars or contrasting tag adds) just report them or contact one of the staffs for clarification.

    I'd say @ me at discord, but then I remember the secret den don't have a certain chubby unicorn :blobsob:

    The chubby unicorn is a mystical creature. You never know when it'll show up, ufufufufu~

    (though I'm honestly just busy a lot in RL lol. Plus my discord is on my phone and I'm usually too lazy to get it up on my laptop)

    The chubby uni corn is more of a vegetable than a mythical creature though... shows up when you plant it.

    I don't even have the option to use laptop, only my trusty phone:blobsob:

    Anyway, just PM @alexfilia or @krrizis if you need an invite since advertising discord invite on NUF is against the rules.

    :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    I read really little BL though? Like, I do like it, but I'm more into GL than BL... And I'm a lot more into GL manga than novels...

    Most of the novels I read ended up being about straight couples... I need to dig for some GL ones...
