There would be similar and possibly greater backlash if SINNERS won BP. I don't watch the Oscars anymore and I just consider it a good year if none of the results send me into a blind rage. (Ethan Hawke winning Best Actor could've had that effect...)

M.10orda, if "Acid is Groovy" was the only one you saw... you're lucky. It's actually the BEST of the fictional ones!

I will count this among my blessings.

Whatever won will get called overrated.

Yes, people are doing that on X regarding ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER already, saying SINNERS should have won Best Picture and Ryan Coogler Best Director.

I did ask copilot if "stockings" and "feet" fall into the fetish category.

copilot:

In modern internet language, "stockings" + "feet" is overwhelmingly associated with adult content.
The classifier is trained on modern patterns, not 1930s blues lyrics.
The filter is not reacting to meaning, it's reacting to phrasing patterns, regardless of context, genre, or intent.

So why does bob always get a pass?

copilot:

Because he doesn't use the exact phrasing that triggers the classifier.
He probably wrote something like:

"Big Mother Hubbard in her stocking feet poster"

Very blunt. Very literal.
No extra adjectives. No cultural framing. No cleverness.

^ I ignored Lady In Satin (I think I had the LP used) until you were listening to it, which made me get a CD copy.

In the context of the blues, the line "Big Mother Hubbard in her stocking feet" is a classic example of Hokum—a style of blues that uses humor, double entendre, and nursery rhyme characters to disguise sexual or scandalous themes.

I guess AI saw what Rev was trying to do there 

I think it is a case of wording the prompt request, but what do I know...

I did specify that it should be a historical drama in an African-American milieu, which Bob obviously didn't. I don't think that should have tripped any fetish filters, though.
