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 love it when Mewtwo thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, and then he's not. Lopunny brings him down with such sass!
Still, this whole Gardevoir-can-teleport thing sounds like it might have been useful in a couple places earlier on. Lot-pay ole-hay, anyone?
(Not too surprising that in the Pokemon world, it's still the women who keep the men from doing dumb things ^_^)

MemberTechnically speaking, Mewtwo isn't even a male. It's genderless.

MemberI believe even legendaries identify as female and exude an aura that says as much.
or they are both and identify as one or the other
or they actually do have genders and humans don't care about it
or pokemon just KNOW if another pokemon is male or female on sight.

MemberThe level of smug in the 'I can teleport' comment xD
