April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Blockedit sure would be nice to stop seeing females on my posts page, but that's not gonna happen till SOME PEOPLE learn how to tag properly.

BlockedNo. Every time I visit I have to correct someone's lazy ass tagging, and this one still hasn't been fixed. I should start writing down the names of uploaders who don't tag their shit, along with the pics that weren't tagged and start reporting them for lazy tagging. The fucking blacklist doesn't work unless you tag it properly. And GENDER should be one of the first fucking tags you put down!

Former StaffAll that is required is a minimum of four tags. What those tags are is up to the uploader. If you have the time to comment your complaint, you have time to lend a hand.

MemberThe artist who did this picture, DracoJeff, is known for his genderqueer art. The character shown here is originally male, but whether he has become female, is a futa or what-have-you is unclear, especially with e621's "tag what you see" policy. So I left the gender tags untouched.

BlockedI'm always lending a fucking hand because I'm tired of seeing female art all the damn time. If people tagged the right fucking way this wouldn't be a problem.
Breasts and no sign of a penis generally means female.

MemberKnow what, fine. If I'm gonna get yelled at just because I don't like to give INACCURATE tags, and because I'm new and don't fully understand the policies yet, then fine. I won't post anything ever again. Will that make you happy?

Former StaffThis reaction was a little extreme.
It is fine that you are new and don't quite understand tagging rules. Here are links for help on tagging:

Do please abide by Tag What You See especially. Forget character backgrounds and simply tag the image at face value. It makes images much easier to search for by the userbase. For search purposes, even if a tag my not "truly" apply to a character or situation, it is the most user-friendly.
That said, some of you are being absolutely ridiculous. There are no tags that are specifically required upon upload, only encouraged. It should not take much to remain level-headed about simply adding it and proceeding with your day. I am disappointed in you.
