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 abhor the fact that I am subject to breath the same air as you clowns.

MemberCall me crazy, but maybe people don't like seeing raceplay/fetishization on a post just because it has a black edit.

Member"""""""""fetishization""""""""" on e621!? noooooo..... this has and always been a civil vanilla booru with a clean history!

MemberCan't say I've ever seen someone say this stuff except for raceplay or "BBC" fetishes
This is going to blow your mind, but just because there's something sexual going on in a video doesn't mean the floodgates are suddenly wide open for any and everything sexual. And last I checked, this video is literally just a black edit. No extra dialogue or nothing
Someone looking at one particular fetish doesn't want to see another. People aren't interested in anyone's weird, cringe comments.

Memberto be fair, as a black man who loves his pony smut, i like the bit of representation, its usually green face anon or a supposedly caucasian male, adds to the immersion.

MemberThis is pretty much my reasoning. Too many otherwise good images and videos are ruined because of some creepy race fetishism. People who can just make a version for black and white with no fanfare are the real MVPs. On the opposite end you had people like generalbutch who literally used sex with black people as a "punishment".

Membercan we just let black people exist? like what

MemberDear fuck, make a version of an animation where your characters are a different shade, and everyone goes wild. Are a majority of you even colored?
Dostri
MemberI'm black and I don't care that it's dark, I care about the kind of people that a dark dick brings out. These weird fuckers who seem to think it's sexier that it's a "BBC", and especially those ones that edit those shitty tattoos onto everything. And I don't believe you have to be black to find that unpleasant. In fact any decent person SHOULD think those kinds of things are at least a bit irritating. The whole "Blacked" fetish feels like some kind of racism that is somehow generally accepted if not largely overlooked because it's porn. And my favorite part? People like me get called racist for thinking that being pidgeonholed into a group of sexualized stereotypes is creepy as hell.
There's an artist called Wappah who up and quit and a bit part of his exit speech was about exactly that. I'll quote the relevant stuff since all I have are the screencaps.
He goes onto mention the opposite end, where people un-black pictures but this is the relevant part. A black artist quitting and a large chunk of his exit post was about how bullshit the BBC fetishism is.

MemberIt's not just racial stuff. I mean, in this case it is, but the same goes for trans folks. I have zero issues with trans characters in art, but for some reason there always have to be some weirdos who have to make it into a fetish. Don't fetishize people's identities, ffs. Don't they understand how disrespectful that is?

Blockedstop arguing over racism mfs you are jerking off to a fictional character horse from a kids tv show like who tf cares about racism in fictional porn if loli shit is allowed

Dostri
MemberI care, and your piss-poor whataboutism doesn't change that or how I'm 100% right.
Killertank
MemberMan yall really like to use the word “fetishization” while barely hiding your blatant racism, wild.
