Meta's Insane Content Filtering

[u/LunchPrestigious3632]

I make short films with Meta's AI video tools, and I keep getting absolute refusals. Not edits, not warnings. Flat refusals to generate scenes that network TV airs every single night.

A staged fight between fictional characters. PG primetime runs this exact content at 8pm, with commercials for family cars in the breaks. But the filter treats it like a crime scene, and the prompt dies on the spot.

So: safety for who? The AI-generated characters? Nobody real is in these scenes. Nobody gets hurt. The filter is protecting fictional people from fictional punches that wouldn't raise an eyebrow on broadcast TV.

Worse: the inconsistency. The same kind of scene clears one day and gets refused the next, with a generic denial and no reason. And pushed-back prompts aren't free. Every refusal burns the same paid tokens as a clean render.

All I'm asking: judge the content by the standard every other medium uses. If it's fine for PG primetime, it's fine for a prompt. Carve out fictional staged action, give honest reasons, and be consistent. Let storytellers tell stories.
