If this really is about racism, as some people are suggesting, it makes me wonder how equitably such TOS-rules would be applied in other cases. For example, if Linus Torvalds turned out to be a racist or sexist or homosexist or transexist, would his Linux repository ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux ) be hammered? Would he be removed from the Linux project somehow?

Hopefully - in the very unlikely case Torvalds or anybody else was deliberately uploading content of that sort.

This doesn't seem a remotely comparable case though (deliberate uploading of offensive content in the delisted repo vs - say - unwoke opinion/comments, or whatever the example of LT is supposed to evoke), if the reasons mooted in other comments are correct.

What do the double and triple parentheses mean in context of a Stable Diffusion prompt like the one you linked? e.g. might it apply some weighting to the phrase? Additionally, I wonder, looking at that prompt, maybe he was banned for beastiality.

From context I gathered from other SD posts, yeah, weighting. The more, the heavier.

Looking at the Reddit thread about this, there was some arguably racist stuff going on in his repo which could've been related to this suspension. I'm not sure whether this is the right way to handle such things (banning those specific repo's might be better), but it would be somewhat understandable.

Why are all the nice things ruined by bigots.

Strange if true. Those triple parentheses are weight modifiers, increasing the importance of the tokens inside.

This reddit link posted elsewhere gives a more damning view, aside from the triple parentheses: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/103upr6/co...

In what ways? All I can see is some furry porn stuff. Explicit and not my fetish, but what parts are disgusting?

That's a nice example of false accusations.

Parenthesis are used for increasing the weights of some terms. See how he uses single, double or triple parenthesis on different words. It has nothing to do with the triple parenthesis jew thing.

Just wait till you hear that some circles of the net think using pepe the frog is a racist dog whistle.

It is exactly that - each parenthesis doubles the weight of what's enclosed.

It's a weight system, { } are also used. You can use as many or as little as you want to rank them in terms of importance. Some people use a number system, but it gets messy.
