Strictness of censoring

While there is absolutely a needs to keep this application from becoming weaponized, I find that the censoring of words is far too strict. There should be a contextual based filter rather than a list of banned words.

I am trying to generate some religious images for insipration of a project based on the Four Noble Truths. The first Noble Truth is "Life is Suffering" and it spits out garbage because the word "suffering" is a banned word.

I tired chicken breast, with predictable results. That's a phrase where a contextual filter would be great. I'bve run across some other odd words that seem like they shouldn't be banned but I wasn't paying close attention.

As I come across them I will compile a better list. Once agae, I understand the need/want of filtering, I just feel it can be done better. I'm missing a lot of results because of it.

I see, I didn't realize you were trying the text effects module. See if using “slimy” along with a color will give you more options.

When I'm using the tool to determine how the text/font looks, it won't let
me search the term "slime" and says it's prevented because of the Firefly
guidelines.

I can make the text look like balloons, candy, etc, but NOT slime. It
doesn't matter what text I'm trying change. I've tried words like "Happy
Birthday!" or my name, but it refuses to make the text look like "slime"

@GenghisKhak, the word “slime” in this prompt worked for me. What else are you trying to generate using that word?

I 100% agree. It's WAY too strict.  It wouldn't let me use the word "slime."  Dear GOD, WHY?!
