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!

If the background is black but it's not supposed to be, then you're likely viewing a resized version of a PNG image that happens to have a transparent background. Resized images are JPG and they don't support transparency. Click the "Full size" button/link under the image.

MemberAlright then, thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm still not a fan of this image over the other one I posted though. I really don't care if this version stays or goes at this point. Let the mods do what they shall do.

AdminHow about we keep both?

MemberSure, why not? And thanks for fixing it so the background isn't black and text obscuring. :)
