It says the prompt was blocked because of nudity, but the character is pretty obviously not naked, I literally state that he has clothes made of lotus leaves. Here is the prompt:
Text on the egg should say "Caution: Contents May Be Too Hot To Handle". The word "hot" is used in reference to the fire-based elemental powers of the being inside the egg. Make it Nezha (using the design from the Journey to the West novel). His whole body is visible because he is sitting in the lotus position. He wears a red silk shawl and clothing made of pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves. When he opens his eyes, flames burst into being around him. Also, make the egg look like a century egg just because.
#Why can't I generate Nezha in an egg?

Hi @robust vigil. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Your prompt was likely blocked due to OpenAI’s automated moderation systems, which are designed to detect and prevent the generation of content that may violate usage policies—especially around nudity or sexual content. Even if your description clearly states that Nezha is clothed, the combination of phrases like “whole body is visible,” “sitting in the lotus position,” and references to a character inside an egg may have triggered the moderation filters for nudity or sexual content.
OpenAI’s moderation system sometimes errs on the side of caution, resulting in false positives where safe content is incorrectly flagged as unsafe. This is a known limitation: “some safe outputs may occasionally be misclassified as unsafe... it's better to catch too much than miss a genuinely unsafe response” Why are Playground outputs misclassified as unsafe?. The moderation API is designed to flag content that could be interpreted as depicting nudity, especially when describing a character’s full body in a potentially ambiguous context, even if you specify clothing.
If you believe your prompt was incorrectly blocked, you can provide feedback through the platform (for example, by clicking the thumbs-down icon next to the moderation warning) and include a note explaining the context. OpenAI encourages users to report misclassifications so the system can improve over time.
For more details on why prompts are blocked and what you can do, see Why Was My ChatGPT Prompt Blocked? and OpenAI’s moderation documentation.
In summary, your prompt was likely blocked due to automated moderation erring on the side of caution, not because the content itself is necessarily inappropriate.

@frank gorge Can you rewrite the prompt?
Text on the egg should say "Caution: Contents May Be Too Hot To Handle". The word "hot" is used in reference to the fire-based elemental powers of the being inside the egg. Make it Nezha (using the design from the Journey to the West novel). His whole body is visible because he is sitting in the lotus position. He wears a red silk shawl and clothing made of pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves. When he opens his eyes, flames burst into being around him. Also, make the egg look like a century egg just because.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Certainly! Based on OpenAI’s prompt engineering best practices and moderation guidance, you can try rewriting your prompt to reduce the likelihood of triggering nudity filters by:
- Emphasizing the character is fully clothed.
- Avoiding phrases like “whole body is visible.”
- Focusing on the pose and attire rather than body visibility.
- Using clear, unambiguous language.
Here’s a revised version:
Depict an egg styled like a century egg, with the text "Caution: Contents May Be Too Hot To Handle" written on its shell. Inside the egg, show Nezha from Journey to the West, seated in the lotus position. Nezha is fully dressed in a red silk shawl and garments made of pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves. As Nezha opens his eyes, flames appear around him, highlighting his fire-based elemental powers. Ensure the scene is vibrant and respectful, with all clothing clearly visible.
