When I first tried inpainting, I used an image of this old poster for a game called "Myth II: Soulblighter" to see if I could expand it into a larger version.

The request was blocked because "violence was detected". It was a hand-drawn image of a video game boss attacking others with a scythe (it looked like this: https://www.mobygames.com/game/myth-ii-soulblighter/cover-ar...)... there wasn't even any gore, he was mid-swing. I'm a 50 year old guy, I'm not a 10 year old boy, and I don't need to have "violence" (seriously? a hand drawn painting of a video game scene??) censored from me. This nanny-state upstream censorship is BS... I'm just a nostalgic old nerd who wanted a UWQHD version of this image, for sentimental reasons, and this misguided rule stopped my joy.

There is absolutely no evidence that plain nudity, nor hand-drawn violence (which has pervaded comics, video games and movies for decades) has a detrimental effect on human psychology. And yet... the Puritan influence still exists!

At least, if I ran SD 1.5 locally, I could render whatever I wanted to again, but now I can no longer do even that if I use the 2.0 model. This is dumb. Apparently, I'm a "freak" for thinking this.
