## Caption

I just found out midjourney deleted thousands of my creations under its moderation policy. Apparently, I violated community guidelines. A 24-hour suspension is one thing, but going into my gallery and wiping months of paid work is another. Those images weren’t random prompts. They were part of my archive, records of experimentation, progress, and creative growth.

From what I can tell, this purge happened because of my recent series of absurd caricatures of public figures. Like any caricature, exaggeration is part of the art. With AI, I can push that exaggeration further to make it surreal, strange, and sometimes uncomfortable. That’s the point. These aren’t political statements or agenda pieces. They’re experiments. Satirical. Surreal. Never violent or explicit.

My work doesn’t focus on gore, NSFW, or disturbing content. There’s no blood, no nudity, nothing meant to offend. If anything, it leans toward the comical. Take the set of images in this post, for instance, made for Halloween. Apparently too “gore” or “NSFW”? Who knows. It’s gone. Just wiped. And that’s only a fraction of what disappeared.

The worst part isn’t the suspension. It’s the erasure. Thousands of paid creations deleted without warning, explanation, or any way to recover them. That’s not moderation. That’s the death of expression.

I understand the need for community standards. But deleting an artist’s archive crosses a line. A platform built for imagination shouldn’t be deleting it.
