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!

MemberIn my mind Im just wondering why people get off to gore and stuff like that. Like no hate to those people it's just like are you ok like mentality do you need to talk to someone? Like genuinely just asking.

MemberSo the weird thing about fetishes is how people get them can be pretty damn complex, and it's not really a simple matter of just answering straightforward like "This is why I like this". Sure, I imagine some people could easily explain why they're into gore, or feet, or diapers, or any other unusual fetish or kink; But I don't think it's really commonplace?
Honestly, I wish I could give a better answer for ya, 'cause this is a pretty interesting topic to look into! If you have free time, go google up some studies on "How people get fetishes". :>
