I’d like to suggest a change of how ChatGPT handles fictional writing, particularly stories involving violence, evil characters, or dark and edgy ideologies.
I understand the need for safety guardrails for legitimately criminal requests, but the current behaviour often restricts straightforward fictional narration even when the content is clearly not instructional, endorsing harm, or presented as morally good. In fiction, authors frequently explore evil characters, immoral beliefs, and violent actions as part of storytelling, critique, or psychological exploration — not advocacy.
It would be helpful if the system allowed greater freedom for fictional depictions of violence or extreme ideologies as long as the narrative does not frame them as admirable, justified, or “cool.” Exploring darkness, cruelty, or moral failure is a core part of many genres (horror, tragedy, crime, dark fantasy), and restricting explicit narrative language can unintentionally limit legitimate creative writing.
In short: fictional depictions of evil, violence, or disturbing ideas should be allowed when they are clearly presented as fiction and not endorsed by the narrative voice.
Thank you for considering this feedback.
