Filter OUT Horror Games?

I know that itch.io is huge for indie horror devs, and I enjoy their games, but I really wish there was a default filter to remove games tagged as horror. Maybe there  is one and I am missing it? Again, I fully understand a large swath of the community comes here for the horror games but I have only a small interest in them and would really love to be able to browse a large array of games without ninety percent of them being PSX horror games (no diss, just not something I am overtly interested in). Seemingly right now the only way is to use filters and choose everything except horror, which is very tedious and still could exclude some cool games that otherwise would show up.

Yes, you can exclude a given tag from searches as explained in this older topic.

Is the only way to do this to manually alter the URL? Was a more fleshed out feature added as was mentioned in that original thread?

For now, the only way is manually via the URL.

Just ad this text to the end of the url

?exclude=tg.horror
