AI prompt words inappropriately marked as violations

I have had this happen to me twice with completely benign words in my prompt. Several months ago, I had the word "lasso" in the prompt and kept getting the message that the prompt violated guidelines. I changed "lasso" to "lariat" and all was good. I'm assuming the middle three letters of "lasso" was the violation. At least, that's the only thing I can think of. HOWEVER, I have no idea what might be in appropriate in "elk antlers with no background". I started with "horns" and changed it to "antlers" thinking there might be some way to construe "horns" as dirty, but there was no change. "Antlers" is just as bad, apparently. It works with deer, reindeer, moose...but not elk.

 

I do understand having guidelines, but I think they need to be reviewed and maybe softened a little. Other services have not given me that issue and I don't have to pay for them.

I tried a few variations. Firefly has a problem with 'elk' for some reason as got lots of "We can't process this prompt" messages. Managed to get 'elk accepted with more words.

However, even some of Firefly's suggested text gave me an error.
Example that did not work: "elk with large rack of antlers looking into the camera"
Example that did work: "elk with a blue sky and fall foliage at sunrise"

So Firefly does have problems with certain words and does not understand context at all times.

Someone must have been listening. I tried both of your phrases and they worked, and I was able to create a lasso border. Still not sure what red flags those raised, but they're working now! Thanks to those who fixed the issue.
