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!

MemberI never thought about that, like do other wacky furry universes have anthropomorphic animals, aaaaaand feral ones, that's dam interesting

JanitorSimply put, both species share a common ancestor. Over time, some members of this common ancestor became more feral fox-like while others became more anthro fox-like. As time went on, the two groups of common ancestor became two separate species that continued to change and develop further away from that common ancestor and each other. So, basically, that feral fox isn't the ancestor of any anthro foxes. It's a sibling species from the same ancient ancestor.

MemberYou tried to explain furry logic and my brain is rejecting all information
Furry logic ≠ logic :3

JanitorIt's not furry logic. The question is just a modification of the the century+-old question, "If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?" The answer is the same. If someone's brain seizes up because of that, it's because it's an answer they don't want to hear, not because it's "furry logic".
