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 agree with Jill. This place is not safe at all. Now if they had Judge Dredd with them, they’d be a lot safer.

MemberAl is the kind of person to not tell his therapist about his problems because he doesn't want them to worry about him.
Novaneon
MemberI feel called out
Deska Folf
MemberYep, same here
Padded Stag
MemberThis brings back so many 'Fond' memories of my child/young adulthood.
Which is why I now live WAY out in the sticks, and will never, ever again, live in any large city or even town.

MemberThis even looks like a scene from Dredd.

MemberI love how the guy outside the door seems to be wearing a bulletproof jacket

JanitorProbably because that guy is definitely supposed to be a cop.

MemberCan't be that bad a place if the cops bother to show up ever.
AlexTalbain
MemberTrue that. In New York, cops don't even bother showing up until it's too late. And even then, it takes them a day to like a week.
kaderwolfen
MemberCommon, Al. You'd do the same for them. <3

MemberYeah I dealt with this before. The best and worst friends are always the ones who don't want to be burdens to other people. You see them suffering, but they figure "Things could be worse." and just shut others out to the point where you have to force help onto them or watch them self-destruct. I may find most people annoying, but I'd rather castrate myself with a rusty butter knife before I let any of my friends suffer outright.

MemberYou know it's bad when the himbo gets visibly nervous for everyone's safety.

MemberI had to live somewhere near there, I never want to live there again. Literal "other side of the tracks" type of stuff, The disparagement is too much.
