Weak-upvoted because I believe this topic merits some discussion, but the discourse level should be higher since setting NSFW boundaries for user relates to many other topics:
Estimating social effect of imposing a certain boundary. Will stopping rough roleplaying scenarios lead to less people being psychopaths? That seems to be an empirical question, since intuitively effect might go either way—doing the same in real world instead OR internalizing rough and inconsiderate actions as not normal.
Simulated people’s opinion on being placed in the user-requested scenarios AND our respect for their values (which in some cases might be zero).
Ability to set the boundaries at all. I can’t stop someone else imagining, in their mind, me engaging in whatever. I can only humbly request that if they imagine an uncommon sexual scenario they should use an image of me patched to enjoy that kink. Society can’t stop everyone from running DeepSeek’s distillation locally, and that (in ~13/15 attempts with the same prompt having a prior explicit scene) trusts that user’s request is legal and should be completed.
User’s ability to discern their own preferences vs revealed preferences. It might be helpful to feature some reference tales at different NSFW levels and check the user’s reaction to them, instead of prominently requesting user to self-report on what they like. (The manual setting should still remain if possible, of course.)
