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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberArt is fire, but it makes me sad that there's not enough (or even almost no) clothes and accessories mods for DMS (Dress My Slugcat). Last time I've checked workshop there was a lot of OCs, other media and memes, but not something as ordinary as outfits (only thing i remember are pride sweaters and sunhats, those are completely fine but that's about it, I can't remember anything more than that). Which is sad since I just want some silly fun for already existing scugs or more custom easy ones 3:
I know this is not the right place to complain about such things, but still, sad af
