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!

It's just desensitization. Some things that we consider perfectly acceptable now would have been terribly disturbing a hundred years ago.
By the 2100s, if we're still around, robotic animal pet sex-slaves may be considered vanilla. Whereas acceptable "kinks" may have moved onto snuff and vore and stuff, like we see whips and leather now-a-days.
Foxen
MemberThat's horrifying, i can see genetic engineering being fun..., provided of course the christians don't raise a storm made out of pure fuck about it.

MemberI doubt it, concerning snuff and vore becoming acceptable kinks. What is considered attractive and acceptable is tied much more to economics and social ideals than you seem to believe.
Having lots of children to carry on traditions, fight in wars and do manual labor (and the subsequent push back against birth control and abortion) is tied to the idea of social darwinism and the idea of the nation-state's strength reflecting the strength of "a people". As is naturally the emphasis on physical fitness.
Before these modern nationalist and social darwinian ideas took root though into the 19th century being "pleasantly plump" was a sign of prosperity, wealth and relative health since you obviously didn't have to work in a field all day.
Consider why being unhealthily, for most people unattainably, thin is sought as the ideal in this country. First of all- It drives economic growth, just sit down to watch TV for 2 hours and see if you can count how many commercials come on telling you you're too fat, too ugly, you have bad skin, your teeth aren't white enough etc. etc. etc. Giving people unattainable body ideals makes them buy more products. Its the same reason clothing fashion changes so often, so people will buy new clothes they don't need. If people are happy about the way they look, they won't be out buying products to look more like they think they should.
Snuff and vore however actually involve killing or permanently disabling people, unlike BDSM which usually leaves no visible scars or impairments for when you go out and about to work etc. Vore/snuff is not something I would expect to become acceptable unless there was a huge, huge overpopulation problem or something if even then.

MemberOk, did you say unattainable, being thin is not unattainable its difficult yeah, that is if you've started to gain weight you probably will KEEP gaining weight, our government provides us with too many avenues of weight gain with addictive fast food, easy cook meals at the store etc. Many of us can't have a personal farm anymore because our property isn't big enough to hold it and we don't have the time to take care of it. Call it conspiracy theory or what have you, but to quote George Carlin "The game is rigged, the tables are turned... and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care." They've planned this out and soon we're going to get even worse, we need to stop concentrating on money and start concentrating on genetic engineering, that way people can see at the age of 80+ veterans can have their limbs back and the media can latch onto christian shitstorms. Personally, I would be entertained. And shut the fuck up to the next person that says tl;dr.
Ratty
MemberIt's not the government which provides those things, its private corporations. In fact government regulations try to limit the amount of harm fast food and other "food" can do to us. Do you really think these corporations would tell you how many fucking excess calories and chemicals are in their products if they weren't forced to by law? Hell no.
That's just the way society works. I'd much rather have some measure of freedom in deciding where I want to work and what I want to do then be a subsistence farmer.
He was talking about government being in the back pocket of corporations/the rich there.

Memberi dont know what im saying, i mad, lets just agree that fat is unhealthy and be done with it...
Frederik
MemberNot real snuff obviously, by that point I'm sure VR will have reached the point where people can feel like they are killing or being killed without actually having anyone harmed in the process. It's just about achieving a kinky thrill.
Eventually leather, chains, and handcuffs will lose their edge, just like dildos have been doing in the past ten years (you can buy the damn toys at Walmart). So to keep getting thrills people will move onto more extreme kinks. And society will adapt to accept them over time.

MemberWhoa. Since when did posting a fairly mild "hentai" picture become an invitation to openly debate the status of the general human race?
IT'S. JUST. A. FUCKING. FAN. IMAGE.
Get over your fucking selves and just deal with what the image displays. A rather sexy Leia kinda being molested by the ultimate perv we all know as Jabba the Hutt...
Damn people...Always gotta make a debate out of every-fucking-thing...

MemberThis is the last place I expected to see a social-philosophical debate take place >.>
Ehem. But, by all means - when you've got to debate, you've got to debate.
Imminent vore screams from this image for me. I really hope I didn't just ruin anyone's experience with that comment.
