Tagged my game as nsfw mistakenly and now it won't remove it

Hey gang, kind of a weird situation I have here, but I was releasing my non-nsfw game on itch yesterday when I decided it would be really funny to tag the game erotic, thinking no one would really look at it except for some friends, and we'd have a laugh at it.

Unfortunately, even though I removed the tag once someone spotted it and we had a laugh, the consequences have come to bite me in my ass. Itch still seems to think the game is nsfw and recommends it as such. Most of my traffic seems to come only from nsfw game players browsing the nsfw section, and itch keeps recommending me adult games, and I'm unable to disable this as itch thinks I make adult games now.

Yes, I realise this is a result of my stupid joke, but I would appreciate some help on this asap! Thank you!

The game in questions is: https://jbroook.itch.io/batter-up-new

Double-check that you actually unticked the checkbox and saved. If the problem persists, contact support.

Sorry, what checkbox am I supposed to untick? I deleted the tag if that's what you mean. And the settings for toggling nsfw content isn't available either if that's what you mean

The "sensitive content" checkbox on the metadata tab of your project. That's what determines the NSFW status, not some tag.

Ah got it, that solved everything. Tysm!

Iirc if you select one of the "nsfw" tags, the ones that circumvent the adult setting for browse, the default status of the box is ticked or something to that effect.

And I do not understand what the difference between the two boxes is, that there are. It actually reads, like you can decide if the 18+ warning should be displayed or not. Which would make no sense at all. The lower box is greyed out till you select the upper box.
