Midjourney has proven itself to be one of the greatest AI-powered tools in the industry, which can be used to generate any possible image that one can think of.
But, as the human mind discovers the possibilities and freedom the tool offers, the intrusive thoughts might cause disruptions.
That’s why the creators of Midjourney decided not to let users’ intrusive thoughts win and limit the tool to generating SFW (Safe for Work) or PG-13 content only.
Midjourney censors the content by automatically blocking the text inputs that have the tendency to create images that are deemed disrespectful, aggressive, or otherwise abusive.
Here in this post, we will include a list of all the words that are banned, and that you should avoid using in Midjourney.
Midjourney Banned Words as per Community Guidelines
We are going to mention some really ad∪lt and unsafe words here. User’s discretion is required!
To dilute the offensive of the words, we have modified a few letters. ‘α’ is used for ‘a’, ‘ε’ is used for ‘e’, ‘$’ is used for ‘s’.

What users and artists think about Midjourney Censorship
Well, the reaction of the community is mixed. While some agree on the entire censorship, some believe that only a part of the current censorship is required. The restriction of using some words in Midjourney somewhat limits the artist’s creativity and innovation.
The current censorship makes sense to us, but we also believe that the developers must tweak things a bit.
We have seen a lot of examples where censorship ultimately limits imagination and creativity.
Yes, alternatives to banned words exist, but still, in some scenarios, the restriction doesn’t feel right in the first place.
We have seen many examples that got us thinking that developers should reconsider their list of banned words. Or recognize the context in which the word is being used.
Some people are brave enough to imagine a situation where Midjourney revokes censorship. Well, some artists will be able to enjoy the benefits, but it will surely be disastrous.
That’s why, Midjounrney’s decision to keep the platform SFW or PG-13 gets our full support.
With this being said, we would like to conclude our post here.
We will be back with another awesome post soon.
