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!

MemberThis version of Maid Marian is a woman. I'd also like to ask you not to use language ascribing deception to her gender, please.

Membergotta love when the literal artist of the pic gets told off for telling what's going on in THEIR PICTURE

MemberIt looks like the fennec is knotted, and dialogue implies it as well.

MemberHow are you gonna get mad when you've drawn marian as a dude 3 other times?
Pirate jojo
MemberBasically artists have no control over the context of their images on these sites. If someone thinks it's a dude then they can't do anything about it, even if the outright "hey, thuis character should be tagged as a female, they're trans" someone could think "well i dont think I'd appreciate this art as much if it were a female, so ilill tag it as male despite the context provided

BlockedI don't see why this is complicated .. you tag sex not gender. Gender is a social construct but sex isn't.
