AI Video Generators Misflagged My Anime Duel

I’ve been working on an anime project called Lost Garden, and I recently ran into a problem with AI video generators. When I submitted a duel scene to Runway, it was rejected for ‘graphic violence.’ But what does that mean in this context? The company didn’t specify why they thought the scene was graphic, but based on past experiences, I suspected their algorithms were misjudging the level of violence.

Anime and animation creators have long struggled with using AI tools to create content. One issue is that these generators often flag stylized violence as real, even when it’s clearly fictional. This can be a major problem for artists who want to use AI video generators like Runway or DALL-E 2 without losing their unique styles.
