Right now, Demographic labels are all lumped under the "Genre" section on a manga page. When editing genres, a distinction between Demographic and Genre is already present when selecting genre check boxes. However, this distinction is lost when simply viewing manga entries. 4t3x5i

I think this sends the wrong message about demographics, and they continue to be treated mistakenly as genres when they are not.

Demographic labels should only tell us one thing: what type of magazine a manga was published in. It is not supposed to tell us anything about content, it's the job of the Genre labels to do so.

I propose the creation of a separate section for Demographic on manga pages. MangaDex for example, already separates Genres from Demographics. In addition, when editing it may be better for Demographics to be radio buttons instead of check boxes to enforce the one Demographic only rule.

This old thread is a good example of this proposal:

Maybe have a N/A demographic option as well for cases where the manga isn't published normally like Web Comics or for non-Japanese comics.

This change might also help reduce the need for s to keep Genres locked on certain titles because of edit wars regarding Demographics.

If this suggestion is accepted and implemented, I also propose a (future) update to the Genres page to separate the definition of Demographic labels from Genre labels. Maybe create a Demographics page to hold the definitions that will be moved out of Genres.
