Does Liquid have a "does not contain" or "not in array" operator?

unless to the rescue !

Create an [A, B, C] array.

{% assign input = "A,B,C" | split:"," %}

unless print only if constrain is not met.

This prints nothing:

{% unless input contains 'A' %}No A{% endunless %}

This prints "No Z":

{% unless input contains 'Z' %}No Z{% endunless %}

you could do something like this:

{% if collection.tags contains 'tag' %}
{% else %}
  do stuff!
{% endif %}
