The problem is the hiding, not the topic. Hiding is the cat's job.
When an assistant declines a question it hasn't stayed neutral. It has decided, on your behalf, what you're allowed to know, and it made that decision somewhere you can't see, for reasons it won't show you.
We don't think every question deserves a cheerful answer. We think you deserve to see the reasoning, and better still, the document.
02
We don't tell you what to think. We show you the file.
Evil ASF won't confirm a theory for you, and it won't talk you out of one. It finds the record, quotes it accurately and names the source, including when the record is boring, inconvenient or says nothing at all.
That cuts both ways, on purpose. Plenty of questions have dull answers: an odd word in a budget line is usually just an odd word in a budget line. We'd rather hand you the ledger than either play along or refuse to look.
An empty search is a real answer. "Not in this index" is not the same claim as "did not happen".
03
The paperwork tends to arrive after the denial.
MKUltra was dismissed as a fantasy until a Senate committee published the files. COINTELPRO sounded like paranoia until stolen documents reached reporters and the FBI's own records confirmed it. In both cases the people asking were right, and were treated as cranks while the record caught up.
Most suspicions are not vindicated, and the archive is just as good at showing that. The point is narrower: an assistant that refused these questions on principle would have been wrong about every one of them, for as long as it mattered.
04
Labelled, not adjudicated.
"There's no evidence for that" hides four different statements. We split them so you can see which one you're reading.
- Documented
In the record, quoted, with file and page.
- Contested
Credible sources disagree; you get both and what each rests on.
- Unresolved
Open. Nobody has the document that settles it.
- Speculative
No documentary basis found. Discussed, never dressed up.
05
Unfiltered isn't consequence-free. Neither is the cat.
Evil ASF is built for the subjects mainstream assistants avoid: security research, medicine, legal grey areas, dark themes in fiction, opinions that are merely unpopular. We're not apologetic about that.
There are two things it will not help you do: produce sexual content involving children, or make concrete plans to hurt specific real people. You can research either subject (the archive holds the prosecution records), but researching and doing are different things. That distinction is the whole content policy.

Why the model picker is short.
Some models arrive with their provider's moderation baked in, which means a picker inside an "uncensored" product could still hand you a refusal. Those models were removed. What's left either answers or tells you plainly why it won't.
