I've been trying to block the solo male content here, since there's so much of it I feel like I'm missing other stuff as a result of it. But somehow, even with all the combinations of tags I've used, I'm still seeing them from time to time. I think it comes down to how 'solo' is being interpreted, since the images usually imply someone else is involved, but they're also not involved, really? It'll be a pair of hands, or a random detached dick or some tiny character way in the background that qualifies the image as not solo, yet the focus is clearly on the single character.

Is there a way to block these as well, without completely blocking any male content? I'm not against seeing guys at all; I'll even go to look at the solo stuff later. I just don't know how to exclude these images without excluding them all.

Examples:
https://e621.net/posts/2511540?q=animated

https://e621.net/posts/2507807?q=animated (this one made it past my blacklist at first, but seems to have been adjusted enough to be blocked again later)

Again, I don't mind seeing these, but I try to block them due to the sheer number of them so I can see other stuff. Yet somehow they're slipping past the tags I've used.

Part of it's due to posts being poorly tagged, those two posts should have the solo focus tag. If I'm not misunderstanding, male solo and male solo_focus should work for your blacklist.

Search for male -solo -solo_focus.
Any residual posts you see are posts that have not been tagged properly.

the problem with the ones you send is just that they are not well tagged. Most likely the reason why the second one is now not shown to you is because of that, too. Somebody tagged some missing tags and now they fall into the raster of your blacklisted tags.
Anyways I think for the problem you have described there is a male_focus I believe

EDIT: It looks like you got 3 answers while mine is also slightly wrong but yeah.
