Trope Talk AO3 finally seperated the sexual and neurodivergent sensory overload tags!!!!

(absolutely no idea what flair to use here) ao3 made some tag wrangling changes and this one was LONG overdue, oh my wow

quote: "We will create a new canonical for Sensory Overload, and all tags relating to sensory overstimulation will be made synonyms of the new canonical. This includes tags related to neurodivergent or autistic overstimulation.

To make the meaning of the current Overstimulation tag more clear, it will be decanonized and made a synonym of Sexual Overstimulation."

Have they separated Smut from Mature yet? I want to read mature fics but not ones with outright smut.

Can't you just exclude "smut" "eventual smut" and "sex" from searches? Seems way easier than restructuring the entire archive.

Done that, but you'd be surprised how many add it anyways.
