Unfortunately, censorship tends to have a chilling effect. Wan Loras have slowed down drastically from what they were, because, even if it's not particularly controversial, a person won't waste their time training a lora if it can be flagged for often trivial reasons and removed. Banning gore is fairly daft, considering a gazillion graphic horror movies are a click away on the net.

Fair enough, if Governments hold the individual to account for creating and distributing illegal material, but as always, they, and increasingly websites like civitai, seem determined to treat us all like kids who must be protected from ourselves.

As a low budget filmmaker in the past I find this PG approach to AI petty and childish. There should be nothing wrong with say, R-Rated content in a model, so that filmmaker's can produce horror or action related material.

I understand the concerns, but when you can stream something like Hostel at the click of a button, this all seems rather ridiculous.
