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 need to analyze what exactly makes the face looks so masculine. >_< Is it the eyebrows? The jawline? The snout size? This isn't bad art... Just the features on the face are like a "Prince charming" look. The face is soft, but also has heavy tones. Basically it's a "Superman" face. http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2011/11/30/SchaffenbergerFace_custom-bb2cc993945fe4b03f773cc02bf1996b240ada7a.jpg

MemberIt's the length/width of the snout. Nose size tends to correlate with gender, a fuller, longer snout (or a larger nose in humans) makes the whole face look more masculine.
The big issue here is that the artist went to heavy on the anatomical correctness of the horse face, to make her look feminine her snout needs to be softened considerably, thinner and shorter, and there needs to be some suggestion of lips.
Horses actually HAVE lips, the absence of them creates an extremely masculine appearance. Check out the DCAU animation style, the men are never given lips, if you added lips to them they'd look feminine. Meanwhile if you took the lips off of characters like Lois Lane or Catwoman their sensuality would be severely lessened.
