Not seeing a lot of concenus here which makes it hard for me to decide. I'm neutral on adding this I don't feel it's the most important thing for taxonomy but I feel it's not the worst. I'd need a solid description and we could send it.

@Wholesome_only_pls I would be fine with having 2 separate tags, much better than having only 1

In my honest opinion as a compromise, we can have humor tag and comedy tag. To differentiate the two Humor is more like a few jokes here and there sprinkled on the hentai in question. I guess great example is... (I don't know if it's a great one.) because of the dialogue overall though your standard Hentai. Then for Comedy something like OYAOYAKODON by kmvt In a sense where if you want a full on laugh fest Comedy, if you want a little bit of the funnies here and there then humor it is.

Downvoted. Too subjective. I prefer create tag comedy accepted and to make clear that the theme or genre of the work is 'comedy'.

I think it’s a good tag, but comedy and shit posts translations should not be included. What should have the humor tag is mangas that are funny/unserious/lots of comedy/jokes (not translation shitposting)

if you think something is funny, you should just bookmark it as funny, comedy manga as a genre exist as such because it's entertainment whose selling point is being comedy, H-manga don't have the as a primary selling point just a side detail that MAY improve a work for you depending on your own subjective particulars. And although more common in fan doujinshi, to be completley honest the funny/less horny doujninshi get uploaded online way less so it's even rarer to see something that could be clearly defined as "this was made with comedy as the main goal of the work"

I really like this tag, I think it's needed. But OP's definition is not suitable. It's far too broad if it includes 'shitpost' content which is largely re-edits by ordinary users, right? I'm not sure I really want to see this encouraged by a broad tag at all. I think it could ruin the site if endorsed. In JP, you have the broad term, コメディ漫画 'comedy manga', and a 'subgenre, ギャグ漫画 'gag manga': https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ギャグ漫画 (Jisho does a better job unpacking 'gag': https://jisho.org/word/ギャグ漫画). Classic gag manga is stuff like Dr Slump, or One Punch Man. 'Gag' is already a tag.. I agree, there are some uploads, like what @pervert9001 has indicated that fit the need for a comedy tag. A definition should include terms/examples like this as guidance. To that end: I am rejecting this tag as it stands. The definition shouldn't include fan/comedy re-edited content or shitposts. A 'Comedy' tag should be restricted to the actual publication of comedy hentai doujin they themselves made.

It's way too broad by the suggested description, you've described 3 completely different things. The girl who eats a mushroom would probably fall under this, because it's bizarre without being guro . And Super Libido Challenge 69/ because it has a joke about a bandaid being a legitimate form of birth control. Lumping that in with something like Clit Boxes just because it's a weird concept means that potentially anything that's a niche fetish would fall under "humour." And I definitely wouldn't want that all lumped in with shitpost translations a la Ghost Stories. (I can't find the specific doujins I was thinking of.)

I think he was referring to the fact that you can already vote on suggestion to add or remove tags, not that there should be a new system...
Osamu09

I believe @plasmasack means a system where instead of a work either having a tag or not, would be more like on VNDB where each tag has a score from 3 to 0 (where the higher the score the more relevant it is to the work). Could also just work as a standalone "comedic value" or something with a 0-10 score. Which is just a whimsical idea, there's not much merit to creating such a system unless we want to reinvent nhentai
roman1311

yes, voting would definitely help with the subjectivness

Maybe this is a tag that if created would benefit from the tag voting system, so rather than getting tagged with this for a minor joke it could be applied to works where many people see comedic value through votes? I’m not sure how that would work tho

I, for once, agree with @Osamu09 on this one. I don't feel like creating this tag makes much sense, besides the danger of people just miss tagging everything that has so little as one joke with "humor" or "comedy" I understand why this was proposed and why many people are agreeing with it's creation. However, just because it can exist doesn't mean it should. I agree that some works have more or less comedic humor and timing from their characters and if you like that or is something that you want to read that's fine. But creating a tag specifically for finding those kind of works? I don't know, it falls on the line of "what's considered funny then?" "how are you sure this is humor o intended to make you laugh?" I don't know, feels like no matter what description you would make there always will be a nudge in either direction, and eventually everything will be tagged as humor or funny. Too subjective. Even if you want to make it a genre like proposed as "comedy".
Osamu09

The truth is that while a lot of hentai have a comedic side, they still fundamentally remain a hentai and not a comedy work I believe that most people would tag works with any amount of comedy, even as little as one joke. Which I think would defeat the purpose of creating such a tag in the first place. I can't help but think that the way people see this tag is similar to "wholesome", as in they'd be used to look for light-hearted works. I'm not saying they would be applied to the same works, as they're clearly different words. What I'm saying is that the reason for people wanting this tag is pretty much the same as it was for "wholesome". And I believe that last tag has already filled such need
Osamu09

ok, I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here. It's already decided people want a "comedy" tag. But comedy is a genre, and so far we have no genre tags. Which means if this get accepted it would create a precedent and it might lead to suggesting other genres, such as create tag tragedy +21 Let's look at it from another perspective. Hentai is a genre in itself. But contrary to what someone might think, there's nothing that says a work can't have 2 or more genres with equal values. Just think of Romeo and Juliet, romance within a tragedy and a tragedy within a romance. So I believe that as long as the "comedy", or whatever other genre, is a substantial part of the work, it makes sense to use the tag. If it's a substantial part of the work, that is... I will reach my conclusion in the next comment ^

TLDR: I wanted "humor", "comedy" is better Hey OP here. I have to admit, comedy sounds good, however it wasn't really what I intended making this suggestion Comedy is a genre and it a tag would imply that the entire work is supposed to make you laugh or be funny (outside of just being sexual in this case lol) The thing is, you can have a "serious" work with some jokes or a ridiculous scenario. I wanted the tag to be something like a heads up, especially for those that enjoy plot-heavy works. Jokes can simply break the immersion if not done well. That said, both "comedy" and "humor" are subjective when it comes to defining, but humor is worse. It could apply to practically every work here depending on what you see as a joke or not and or if a scenario is really ridiculous. I honestly don't think subjectiveness is a issue since we have a voting system now, but comedy would be better to tag than humor.

I really enjoy works that contain humor. Humor is hard to define, especially when it is satirical, and when a work contains enough to deserve this tag is also challenging. I've certainly read works with "ridiculous scenarios" that I wouldn't count as being intentionally humorous. Perhaps the definition should include something about the tone it is written in, or an intentional aim of eliciting laughter from the reader. At first I thought "comedy" might be the better tag name, but now I think a "comedy" tag should imply the work's ending will have a happy/comical resolution, which I don't think the humor tag should require.

So far, 8 out of 10 comments is for changing it to comedy. No one is against it. So that's settled. Now, for the description? I feel it could use some polishing. Finally, to answer Tuan Anh Hunter: No, that wouldn't fit the bill.
