There are about <a href="https://itch.io/games/tag-lgbt" target="_blank">5700 items</a> available tagged "LGBT", and that tag is available on the default selection dropdown menu (as opposed to just typing in your own search term, which is also possible). Otoh, tags like "Adult" and "NSWF" are not on the default dropdown, and they return just a few hits, apparently way down from thousands apiece before the delisting effort.So I'm not sure how to square the active LGBT tag with reports that non-"Adult" LGBT material is being removed. Does anyone know how tags are assigned on itch.io? (I looked there, but can't find anything about that.) I'm wondering if some of this is down to items being tagged "Adult" when it's not actual porn but rather for having "mature themes" (eg, abuse, coming out, eating disorders, and other topics recently reported as being delisted), then getting swept up in the crackdown. If tags are assigned by the game dev, that seems fixable; but if they are community generated, that seems potentially abuseable if a group wanted to falsely flag material they don't like to get it removed.</blockquote>
