Looks like autism is the main tag, used for when the image has the word “Autism” in it. And the other tag seems to have been almost entirely created and added to images by one person in 1 day, 3 years ago.
So I’m guessing autism spectrum disorder -> autism is the right thing to do. So I did.

It appears as though the tag has been used in a derogatory manner much too often. Someone will have to clean that up…

If you’re talking about “autism”, well, duh. It has been in the insults-zeitgeist for quite a while. The first page of results look pretty clean to me at the moment, though.
If you mean autism spectrum disorder, it didn’t look like it was being used derogatorily, though that user did apply it to images of OCs which had been described in other posts as autistic - eg. mentioned in the description of >>2565576, thus tagged on >>2545008 and others - so the validity of having that tag on images where it’s not brought up is questionable. (That user also tagged asperger’s syndrome in much the same way.)

Let’s just fix the tags, with as little drama as possible.
@LightningBolt
If you have an idea what needs to be done, if anything, let me know and I’ll do it. Even if it requires looking at each image to sort it out. Feel free to PM me if you’d like.
That way when some people insist on being jerks about it, they can be a jerk to me.

I miss the show so much
If an image is covered by adversarial noise, such as >>3538077, does “simple background” still apply if the background is single solid color under the noise? This isn’t the only time I’ve removed “simple background” from an image covered by adversarial noise, but I’ve started to wonder if I’m too strict. I’ve also added “patterned background” a few times, but I’m not sure if that is correct either.

Wow. Adversarial noise has never bothered me, but I almost threw up as soon as that image opened for me.
Yeah - very agree that is not simple background. That is WAY not simple background. Effectively the artist laid a bump map across their background making it psychedelic paisley puke.
Patterned background makes more sense, since it’s literally leaping off the screen reaching for me like some sort of Cthulhu-level nightmare monster.
I’m going to see that in my dreams now >_<

@LightningBolt
(and others)
I have a request to bulk change a shipping tag, and wanted to verify that I’m doing this right before proceeding.
Request: ship:pinkieplay -> ship:pinkieace
Requesting user is the OC creator. Via a search for pinkie pie,oc:*ace*,shipping,-ship:pinkieplay, the tag does not appear to conflict with any existing ships (although I think I found tags that should have the image that are without it - note to self to fix that as a part of this).
I understand that creating the new alias does require manually moving the existing aliases, documentation, and implications from the existing tag.
Is there any reason not to make the new alias?
