  "textContent": "The current system does not only restrict explicit content — it also limits non-pornographic adult expression such as tone, dialogue intensity, and narrative atmosphere.\n\nThis makes it difficult to maintain consistency in creative writing.\n\nThis is not a request for explicit content.\n\nWhat is needed is controlled flexibility for:\n\n- non-pornographic adult literary tone\n\n- rough or direct dialogue when context requires it\n\n- metaphorical and symbolic expression\n\n- suggestive, non-graphic atmosphere\n\nA possible solution would be a toggle-based system:\n\n- default mode remains unchanged\n\n- optional creative mode allows expanded expression within safe boundaries\n\nThis would preserve safety while improving usability for writers.\n\nIt would also be beneficial to maintain a clear distinction between explicit content and non-pornographic adult expression, as these are often treated the same despite being fundamentally different.\n\nAdditionally, previously explored directions such as Citron-related systems should be preserved rather than permanently discarded, as they may have future relevance.\n\nIf future models such as Spud are being developed, aligning them with improved expressive flexibility would significantly improve their practical value.\n\nIn summary:\n\n- support non-pornographic adult expression\n\n- introduce a toggle-based system\n\n- improve balance between safety and usability\n\n- preserve deferred initiatives\n\nThis is a usability and product design issue rather than a request for unrestricted content.",
