Issue appears to be that the uncensored model too closely reflects reality with all its troubling details such as history.

Prompts like "Generate me a Scottish lord from the 17th century" only generated people of color. Reimagining is a thing, but refusing to generate a white person for such prompts caused lots of commotion.
Was not an accident - it was deliberate.
Why they thought this would not be noticed is beyond me.
why are we using image generators to represent actual history? If we want accuracy surely we can use actual documents that are not imagined by a bunch of code. If you want to write fanfic or whatever then just adjust the prompt

Black vikings do not model reality. Asking for 'an Irish person' produces a Leprechaun. Defending racism when it concerns racism against white people is just as bad as defending it when it concerns any other group.
