tag girl-friend
Tag description If you want to find an "ordinary relationship", but you end up having to get it indirectly by excluding all "non-ordinary relationships", this will really feel awkward. The horizontal bar in the middle is just because the girlfriend tag cannot be created. Although the role tag exists, there is no universal tag. It cannot be separated because the meaning is different.
note For some people, "ordinary stable romantic relationships" are exactly the content they actively want to filter out. These often overlap with the "story arc" tag, but are still worth distinguishing. If you want to find an "ordinary relationship", but you end up having to get it indirectly by excluding all "non-ordinary relationships", this will really feel awkward.

The way you are describing this tag is not the way it would be used. A work which contains a girlfriend or girl-friend--which isn't exactly what you mean--does not denote the existence of a loving or happy relationship. This tag wouldnt serve the purpose you created it for. Perhaps creating a "solid relationship" or something along those lines tag and black listing NTR would serve this purpose. Also also, you mention having to find this tag by black listing other tags, I've actually seen some wholesome bf and gf galleries that contain consensual hypnosis. So that's why you should vote for hot CNC. (I really want this tag and to see consensual acting)

female-friend would satisfy this legit need while being a more intuitive name

I like the idea, but I think you should withdraw this and propose "female friend" instead to stick with current tag conventions

Therefore, the core point is that "girlfriend" objectively meets all the conditions that a reasonable label should have. It is not impossible to abstract, it can even be said to be a very stable, very high demand, very operational classification, and these things will indeed affect experience and expectations. So it is not only logically reasonable, but there is also an objective need.

Default or not, or more or less, is not the real condition to determine whether this tag will exist at all.In fact, the criteria for tag existence and whether the content is common are not the same thing at all. "Novel websites can have no novel tag" because it cannot form an effective filter and cannot narrow down the result set, so it is not an informative tag.But "girlfriend" is obviously not like this, because it implies a whole set of relationship expectations. Even if many things in it are not absolutely true, they will form a very strong statistical tendency.

I know that it’s not that the system doesn’t pay attention to relationships. On the contrary, it pays great attention to them. It just pays attention to the dramatic deviation of the relationship, not the relationship itself. So in the end, a very strange experience will form. If you want to find an "ordinary stable love relationship", you must Exclude NTR Exclude rape Exclude prostitution Exclude hypnosis Exclude slave Exclude ... Only in the end can there be "leftover" works similar to girlfriend relationships.

Why is this tag needed? Most people didn't complain, so the need for this isn't worth discussing? But in fact, many product improvements initially come from the "feeling that something is wrong" among a few people. Someone must be fed up with the experience of being diverted, confusing "whether it can be searched" and "whether there is a tag", and using alternatives to deny the demand itself. Everyone assumes that "girlfriend" exists in a large number of works, but the system does not think it deserves to be marked separately. Not all works fit this tag, or even a large number of works don't, which can significantly change the search results, so it has a clear information gain. The core value of a tag's existence is actually its ability to effectively reduce user uncertainty.
