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!

MemberTentatively put rating as questionable because of bouncer's collar (is there a word for that ring attached to the collar?).

Blockednope, just a collar, its weirder to see a collar without a place for a leash to attach and its still called a "collar" rather than a "choker", fashion always eluded me.

MemberWell, you see, brain-ded normies decided collars looked cool but had to find a way around their own social stigma. Thus they created a cheap strip of cloth and sold it for a bunch of money, alongside the "right" to still look down on people who wear actual collars.

BlockedDamn... think this was the first ever furry comic I read way back in the 90s.
Talk about old.
