It is not a problem that advice is not well received.

If not, you are not giving advice. If not, then from your ignorance you come to try to impose your vision which is NOT correct.
We have tried to explain several things to you, but you make NO effort to try to understand what we are telling you.
Every thing they say to you, you take it as an attack that must be answered from your wrong point of view.

Do you want to give advice and have it be well received?

Try to be more humble, if everyone is telling you that you were wrong, it is very likely that you are wrong. Think about that instead of just answering from your ignorance.

I'm going to try one last time, see if you're really interested.

You're not just searching for "Apple Pie," you're searching for "pie."
As you search by "pie", the system will show you all the "pie".
If the community (not the Itch administration) consumes "blueberry pie". The system will show you that first.
That simple concept, you don't seem to want to understand. and that is the problem, is that you make that effort to not understand something that is very simple. You got it into your head that Itch is bad and all you're looking for is reinforcement. And of course you are going to feel frustrated, because no one is going to reinforce your idea, because it is wrong.

The same with "mailto", your ignorance makes you see things that are not, but instead of recognizing your mistake you persist in them. It's normal for you to feel frustrated.

Don't you like "blueberry pie"?

Perfect, it's your taste, your decision and no one has to change it.

If the community of a place mostly consumes that content. Why should they accommodate your wishes? They have been consuming and enjoying that content and only because you arrive and you don't like it. Should they change it?

Do you realize how arrogant and ignorant you sound?

Don't want to see "blueberry pie" in your search?

Ask how you can do a search without that content. But no, instead of asking questions or suggesting improvements, what you come to is criticize thousands of people who consume "bluberry pie", in a way that, let's be honest, is not the best.

That's the problem, don't ask us to understand you, when you don't want to understand what we tell you. Especially because you arrive at a place. You are the new one.

You are technically correct that calling anthropomorphic animals in a game "furry" is not accurate for the usual real world definition of the term furry, since such a thing like anthropomorphic animals does not exist.

But you are mistaken in your game tagging assessment, what furry means. It means what people make it mean. And in gaming it has evolved to include anthropomorphic animals. (Oh, and the word gay actually means cheerful. But it evolved to mean male homosexuality. Curious, how meanings of words can adapt, isn't it.)

Also, as I said, complain to the players and the devs for using those tags and for making them popular. Itch is not the one to blame for. Sure, you can complain that itch does not have curated tags. We all do. But you insist they are somehow at fault for peoples taste in games or usage of tags.

I have no clue why you think I could threaten your account or where I should have done so. You are probaby mistaken me for someone else. If you speak about that other post from another person, you do not even apply the meaning of email or post correctly there.

And what's with the insinstence that the existence of link handling in your operation system is the fault of itch? A "mailto" link is a html link, just like any other link. If you click on https://itch.io/ in, for example an pdf document or your mail client, or your document viewer, your system will open your designated web browser. There are several kinds of html links, should you bother to learn about them. They start with a href. Oh look, like that one:

<a href="mailto:email@example.com">Send Email</a>

a href. Now what to do if I were your operating system? Now, of course open your designated web br... oh, that is a mail link, so open your designated mail client.

And do not confuse search for browsing tags. That is different. You have a search box to insert search terms. And there is tag box to click or type in tags. If you type apples in the search box, you will find a randomly and truncated list of results, that the search algorithm deems relevant for the search term apples. If you write in apples in the tag box, you will get a complete list of all games that were tagged by the developers with apples. The list will be sorted a little bit according to some popularity criteria, but it will include each and every item a dev tagged apples, wether apples is applicable or correct for the game - or not.
