Someone goes seaching for, man turned into woman and finds my story that has nothing to do with that. Yet I should dismiss thier complaints, from 4 different people so far. I don't have a lot of readers. 4 is a substantial percentage.
But according to you, I should treat them like shit for thier correct, logical statements.
Are you high?
Looking at all your posts so far, I don't think the high one is me. You already know what people are looking for in a Gender Bender tag. Why put it in the first place? Reading from your description, there are Parallel Worlds/Alternate World for you to choose from, and most of the fictions using the tag feature what you've described as a "different ethical system", so you're essentially asking for something moot and void because you didn't search for other keywords and other tags.
Spock did not change genders, but if i were to tag a mirror universe episode, what do i use?
This literally fits under Alternate World/Parallel Worlds. If it's not a focused aspect of your story/throwaway gimmick, you don't need to put the tag in, ESPECIALLY if it's a throwaway Gender Bender moment.
And you shouldn't treat your readers like shit. You don't need to. You've already done so by adding
Gender Bender despite not having
Gender Bender in your story, and you did it on a site where people notoriously put GB in their tag for popularity's sake. I should probably have expected this; since you didn't even bother to search for other potential tags, why would you know what
Gender Bender stands for?
I do have some fault in this, though, as I thought you got pressured by some bitch-ass GB readers doing their usual round of complaints, but no, turns out you were right. The complaints were correct, logical statements; directed to an author who didn't know any better.
You know what? It has been established I don't have to show respect for people who complain.
You are bitching up a storm, so I don't have to play nice with you.
ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF READING? Is the english language your second, third, or maybe 48th language? Because your inability to READ seems to be in question here.
One, Don't tell me what I think or feel, BITCH unless I SPECIFICALLY STATE SUCH. You cannot read my mind you steaming pile of assumptions. I do not give two shits about Fairness. If you read any of the HUNDREDS OF BOOKS I HAVE WRITTEN OVER THE YEARS, you would know how I feel about THE NONSENSICAL CONCEPT OF FAIRNESS.
Oh wait. We return to your inability to read again.
I am not the one complaining. PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING TO ME AND I HAVE NOT SEEN A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. Considering I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS WRITTEN STORIES IN THIS PARTICULAR SUB GENRE, it would be used by MORE THAN ONE WRITER.
There is a few hundred people who actually seek out stories of this sort, SO WOULDN'T IT BE WISE TO GIVE THEM THE OPERTUNITY TO FIND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR?
I don't know if you write or not, and I don't want to waste the time figuring it out. But let me explain something about being a writer. YOU ARE SELLING A PRODUCT. Every reader is spending either money, or even just something as simple as TIME to read your story when you write. IT PAY TO BE RESPECTFUL OF WHO MIGHT BUY YOUR PRODUCT.
Wasting my reader's time is DISRESPECTFUL. GO FUCK ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT RESPECTING PEOPLE IS STUPID. And I know exactly how ironic that statement is. YOU FORFIT THE RESPECT I AFFORD TO PEOPLE WHEN YOU REFUSE TO RESPECT OTHERS. Tolerance does not apply to the intolerant. If you cannot follow the rules of polite society, you forfeit all rights and privileges to being a member of polite society.
Go fuck yourself. Sideways. With a chainsaw, you HACK.
There is a reason you do not know the meaning of love. Has it ever occurred to you the reason why all your relationships fail is because you are just a terrible person who is a psychic vampire who leeches off the goodwill and happiness of everyone around you?
The tag DOES NOT AFFECT ME IN ANY WAY. It is for the benefit of the READERS who come here to this WEBSITE and generate TRAFFIC. Every MICROSECOND of time we can save them finding the shit they want to read is that much more likely to KEEP THEM COMING BACK.
I don't know if the retards who are negatively responding to my thread understand this, BUT IF YOU PISS OFF THE READERS AND THEY LEAVE, THE SITE DIES.
I can only assume that the negative feedback I have been getting is from people who ACTIVELY HATE SCRIBBLE HUB.
I happen to like it and want to see it prosper and grow. I like the place. You hate it.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE SOMEONE TELL YOU YOUR MOTIVATION?
Stop projecting your hurt feelings onto me you abortion of a personality. It's children like you that are the cause of the sky high divorce rate. Understandably, I might add.
GROW. THE FUCK. UP.
Oh boy, it's been a while since we had one of these.
Since I got time, let's dissect this piece by piece.
We don't need to cut through the whole steak, of course. Just the pieces worth looking into.

Since OP provides us with no insight into his feelings on "the nonsensical concept of fairness" nor provides us with any incentive/motivation to read the "hundred of books I have written over the years", we can assume this to be schizo, along with the rest of his admittedly mid bantz.
We skip.

There is a difference between accessibility and unnecessary pandering.
If I open a restaurant and one out of a thousand people complain that my french fries make their fingers greasy, I wouldn't listen to him because the other nine-hundred and ninety-nine would learn to go to the restroom and wash their hands. I wouldn't make my french fries non-greasy because one guy was pissed that he couldn't be arsed to go to the restroom. Just like how we don't listen to GB idiots who screech about "not being true GB" because the guy-turned-girl still likes girls despite being turned into girl when they could've just read the GL tag. When four out of a few hundred people are having an issue, it isn't an issue, especially as minor as this.
Actually, this is an even weirder scenario. The chef himself got flamed for promoting organic food when nothing from his main course aside from his salad is organic, and now he's asking for a government-funded "non-organic" sign on his shop when he could've just not falsely promoted that he serves organic food in the first place.
Alright, enough with the food talk.
It's not the tag that's the problem in the first place. It's you who never bothered to search up other methods and severely misunderstood why people complained in the first place. GB readers already got the short end of the stick with a monkey vocal minority and abused tags. If you did some research on the tags and the climate of the site, you'd know this. Instead, you decided to wash your hand off the blame and prop the complaints as a viable reason to add a new tag when there was never any such prop needed in the first place.
It's just a case of not practising what you preach. You claim to respect your readers but you don't even bother to learn enough before misusing a tag.
Go fuck yourself. Sideways. With a chainsaw, you HACK.

This is just ignoring a trade-off between investment and profit, along with a general statement that doesn't encompass the more niche culture that the site inhibits.
Newcomers to ANY online fiction won't come to ScribbleHub. They'll start off with the major sites like Webnovel and Wattpad, and THEN they'll go on to niche sites like SH or RoyalRoad, where by that point, they're novices who are beginning to be engrained into the culture of user-created web fiction.
Big sites would pay to instil such features because their reader base is large enough that doing so would prove a profit. They got staff and workers around the world AND clock to fix bugs and have a system where they introduce/promote new fiction. Hell, they even got movies for it. Wattpad Originals: We Cater to White Suburban Stacies and No One Else.
ScribbleHub, meanwhile, is run by one poor Tony juggling two sites working on the infrastructure/bug fixes on an annual basis with no staff members aside from a handful of mods on both ends. Hell, most bugs are found/fixed by users willing to stay with Tony for multiple replies for free. Readers are drawn to the site mostly from NUF or the fanbase of established writers simultaneously posting their stuff here and trickling some staying users every update. With this, we can establish that most of SH's readerbase is already engrained into the culture and are competent enough to look for what they want without any features SH's already strained resources (literally one guy and maybe some volunteers) can't afford to shave their microsecond. They will stay, and any other stragglers that somehow stumble in will eject themselves regardless of accessibility, because this site caters to a niche.
Right now, Tony is working on something infinitely more important than your one tag: a mobile port of SH; something that far eclipses the tag you hold so near and dear to your heart that you chimp'd out a full segmented CAPS LOCK keyboard-warrior rampage on. So do excuse us when we treat your suggested tag and your inflammatory defence against it with impunity because unlike you, we understand the climate of the site and have priorities on what's important.
You say you love the site so much, and yet you know nothing of it and used that thin veil of an appreciation to prop up your contextually errored suggestion.
Piss off the readers? What, the four guys who wanted
GB and found out it's just some dumb guy who doesn't know how to properly tag his stories? Yeah, they're leaving alright; for better pastures: a.k.a
anywhere else but your story
Stop projecting your hurt feelings onto me you abortion of a personality. It's children like you that are the cause of the sky high divorce rate. Understandably, I might add.
GROW. THE FUCK. UP.
Oh yeah, you can say that again.
What a wild ride this was. I sincerely hope you don't leave and keep posting. Between frens and acquaintances, the other thing that keeps the site fresh is the occasional fresh apple like this: keyboard warriors who trade in critical thinking for capital letters.
To quote you once again:
I bid you adieu.
