Named Top 5 LGBT Graphic Novels of 2013 by The Advocate
Was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist of 2014

Who added the guro and snuff tags? Seriously? Guro or snuff is when death/ decapitation etc are put for the sexual arousal of the audience. This just has some action/violence as part of the plot of a yaoi comic. Unless I'm wrong about how the tagging should go?

No, I think you are right on that. It could use a Gore/Guro tag for the dismemberment, but that's iffy since it is not very extreme/severe and is not part of any sexualization.

@AlbaNader1976 Thanks, I thought so! There's some violence but it's not sexualized

No, there's nothing at all in the WIKI on those tags saying it has to be sexual. There's Non-H galleries and with those tags.

@Jin.H Surely people should use some common-sense when applying tags.

I'd say snuff is a fitting tag, but guro is misplaced. Not due to is/is not sexual, but the amount of gore presented does not amount to warrant a guro tag - a splatter of blood is not guro.

This is a powerful graphic novel. Moral, thoughtful, intelligent and speculative science fiction, with a very strong gay rights message.
Guro and snuff as labels? You miss the whole point of it if that is all you see.

@frglee People on this site are fucked up and pedantic when it comes to tagging, especially when it comes to gay stuff. That way, they can crap all over the comment section.

Also had it up to hear with assholes complaining that something has to be hardcore porn to get classified as Western or tagged as comic. Apparently this only matters to them when it's gay stuff or the comic has gay stuff in it; it's fine with them to have softcore classified as Western, tagged comic if it's straight or lesbian.
