is there a way to search tags with exceptions?

like say for instance I want to search status:any -male_focus but still include anything with otoko_no_ko or whatever it's called and have those posts override the -male_focus

The search should be -male_focus ~otoko_no_ko.
My bad.

You can add male_focus -otoko_no_ko to your blacklist

Logically this would be -(male_focus -otoko_no_ko) or -male_focus OR otoko_no_ko, neither of which is supported.
