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!

Another fight for survival in grim situation.
That's why atryl is one of top artists that I know.
But sadly this is called drawing in open media , and paint farted out is called an art -.- (unrelated rant about low level of modern art)

MemberTake your army of fanfic writers and write me about that girl and her friend! Do what you want with the others, but I want her carrying the other through a blizzard! It'll give you no trouble, I promise you that. And include a little scene where she won't wake up to take the fight out of the readers, heh! Take special care to make the feels, I want that most of all!
Now fly! Fly! Fly!
