A negative filtering system would alleviate the problems people have had with itch.io over the years wrt to finding the games they want to play and are interested in seeing. I never said they're not games, only that I would like to be able to filter them out as well as filtering out horror games at the same time. As it stands, I can only filter one at a time and my content feed tends to filled with the other because of their high popularity in recent months. I was merely offering a more out of the box suggestion because requests for a filter system seem to receive little apparent consideration from administration. If you are tired of seeing these suggestions, then maybe it would be best for administration to address that it will/will not ever be a feature. 

Yes, I understand that on principal. However, I've found that whenever i select a tag I am interested in (not story-rich, as that was something I assumed would bring up word-heavy games in the first place) that isn't explicitly an action genre tag like "platformer" or "bullet-hell", I tend to see a lot of visual novels anyway. And when I do filter out specifically "visual-novel", I instead see many horror games that I am not interested in. But, if I filter "horror", then the same thing happens in reverse.
