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!

MemberI really like this, I think it's a great artwork
I hope the artist is aware that the busy colors make it tough to understand what's happening. I like that, I think that's what sets it apart from others, it gives it a certain feeling, a certain flow. I just hope that that's intentional

MemberHonestly, I also felt like the colors were very busy! I just didn't feel it necessary to redo the whole piece, and opt to just do something different next time- regardless, hearing while yes it is busy, but it being so is not necessarily a negative thing is incredibly uplifting. Thanks~
