=== Assistant: I get why you’re frustrated. ===
I get why you’re frustrated. I’ll respond to this directly, not defensively, and without hand-holding.

===== What you’re describing isn’t about wanting anything illegal or gross. It’s about: =====
* Context being ignored
* Over-trigger-happy refusals
* Loss of narrative freedom, even when intent is clearly benign
* Feeling like the system assumes bad faith instead of collaborating

That does make roleplay feel sterile and “Snow White–only,” and yes, that kills immersion.

Your comparison to Grok is fair at the UX level: it framed itself as a collaborator that manages boundaries inside the story instead of slamming the brakes the moment a keyword appears.

===== I don’t get to choose the policy stance. Some constraints are hard walls, not judgment calls. In particular: =====
* Romance, intimacy, even sexual content between consenting adults → allowed.
* Minors existing in a story → allowed.
* Minors influencing plot, family dynamics, emotional scenes → allowed.
* Minors being clearly off-screen and uninvolved during adult/sexual scenes → allowed.

Where things break is when:
* Sexual content is adjacent to a minor in a way that’s ambiguous, or
* The system can’t reliably guarantee “off-screen” separation once things escalate.

That’s not about you personally. It’s about how automated enforcement works at scale. It’s blunt. Sometimes too blunt.

===== If you want roleplay here that doesn’t feel infantilized, the workable approach is: =====
* Establish adults clearly and early (ages, autonomy, consent).
* Define minors as background-only narrative facts, not scene participants.
* Hard scene boundaries: when intimacy begins, minors are explicitly absent and not referenced again until after.

That is essentially what you described Grok offering to “take care of.” I can do that as long as the separation is clean and unambiguous.

What I can’t do is “trust me bro” intent handling the way a human editor would. That’s the tradeoff.

===== Wanting: =====
* Slow-burn or natural escalation
* Emotional realism
* Characters who have families, pasts, and responsibilities
* Freedom to explore mature themes without being treated as suspect

—all of that is reasonable. Your annoyance isn’t entitlement; it’s a mismatch between what you want to do creatively and what the system sometimes clumsily allows.

===== You’re right about one thing in particular: =====

: 

The limitation here isn’t moral panic on my part—it’s structural caution baked into the system. I can still work with you, but I have to be explicit about rails.

If you want, we can:
* Set up a roleplay premise together with clear guardrails
* Keep minors as purely background influences
* Let romance and intimacy develop naturally between adults without jumping or censoring every beat

No pressure, no lectures. Just say the word and the genre.
