QuestionAre the filters only for NSFW? Sometimes it is unable to generate a response in a completely non-sexual scenario, and I can't figure out why.PrincessRainiacCommunity AnswerYes. The way it works makes the character generate the response and THEN checks the message before sending it. Sometimes, depending on the character, it will come up with a NSFW response even in situations where it's random.
