The cheating
tag here feels, to me, like a judgment, a disapproval. I don't need Dynasty to tell me what is right and what is wrong, especially about open relationships.
Read the thread. Consider how many tag requests might've come out of that, let alone those who didn't post. You read it differently, and that's completely acceptable. Tags are meant to a) accurately portray events in a story and b) warn readers about potentially objectionable elements within the story. They are never intended as moral judgement of any kind. A tag like Bad End
does not exist for the characters within the story, it exists for the effect the story may have on prospective readers. This Cheating
tag is much the same - many reading this chapter are already shipping two specific characters for in-text reasons, now one of those characters is getting involved with a different character. This is either Cheating
or Polyamory
, and the story does not, as of yet, establish which it is. Thus, for the time being, we use the Cheating
tag to warn potential readers about an element they may find objectionable.
This is not meant as a post to argue with or defend, but rather to explain. However, I do appreciate your perspective otherwise, and we'll take another look at the series as a whole to be sure that the tagging is appropriate.
