I don't know if you need to say "if your story is likely to unduly etc." It's nice of you to try to take that all on yourself, but also this is just common politeness for everyone in fandom these days? One person's content warning is another person's interest tag, so you don't need to pre-emptively point yourself out in any potentially self-deprecatory way? (I am very anti self-deprecation!) You can just be very general! And not mention any names.

If anyone takes offense, that's on them, not on you.

After a certain point in time, some tags are kind of duplicative, and sometimes authors miss them, but yes, I thought I'd try to help with my understanding of how tagging conventions have evolved over the years. (Blame Tumblr, for sure, for those weirdass freeforms. I love them. But they are weird.)

I'd go back and revise the tags on my older fics, but that's hard work.
