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!

MemberWell, now it's here. That means you gotta tag it appropriately. Sorry for the venting in my first post. It just seems that one tag was left out "conveniently". Blacklist is only so effective, so I try to tag whatever seems out of place for me (in this case, gay) so others won't have to; That way, everyone can enjoy this site better.

MemberI commented on the missing lesbian tag in a pic once (after tagging it), and only got negative votes. Seems like complaining about gays is still more accepted than about art that many straight men enjoy :P
The moral of the story: blacklist and help with tagging, or become gay (or bi). :P

MemberI just love your name! Some sites don't have enough gay or they don't care enough to make a tag for it
