Overuse of tragedy tags?

[jak]

I've noticed a large number of manga that aren't tragedies receiving said tag.

Some examples:

https://mangadex.org/manga/19465/idol-na-kanojo-to-wotaku-na-boku-to

https://mangadex.org/manga/11981/aka-akatoretachi-no-monogatari

https://mangadex.org/manga/3996/akatsuki-no-yona

https://mangadex.org/manga/14377/relife

https://mangadex.org/manga/4295/kyou-no-kira-kun

https://mangadex.org/manga/16411/enen-no-shouboutai

And there are many more. Despite death occurring, that does not mean they are a tragedy manga.

I checked and it looks like all of the tragedy tags were carried over from batoto.
Truthfully, any tag can be abused; it greatly depends on people's judicious usage, which is still subjective. I've also experienced series marked comedy making me complain that just because one joke was made doesn't make it a comedy.

Based on your judgment & MU, I can remove these for you. I haven't read any of them, though. Another reader may disagree.
Oh, and sometimes, the tag may be applied based on something in the future.

Yeah, none of these should be considered tragedy despite death occurring so I say remove it.

a lot of tags get added because it happened in one and only one chapter and then never again (like people will add the yuri tag if 2 girls kiss once and only once ever). people don't understand the the tags are for describing the story as a whole and not "LOL THIS HAPPENED ONE TIME".

just fix them up when you see them, using the mangaupdates and myanimelist pages as references.

enen-no-shouboutai is tragedy. Many people died there.

ReLIFE there was a person who died and it made the MC feel remorse.

Idol na Kanojo is tragedy. Male MC... his manhood died.

a post-apocalyptic setting doesn't make a story a tragedy. neither does "the mc felt sad once. ONCE".
