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 character is a trans man (he/him) derived directly from my own body and surgeries. Based on your comment history, complaints about a trans male character lacking “pussy” or “bewbs” seems to be a reoccurring theme.
There are plenty of OCs with breasts and vulvas you can enjoy on this site without having to intentionally misgender people and their personal sonas. Thanks.

MemberIs he available for a 3-hour long lecture on how mosquitos and eusocial wasps are not useless?
(I specified "eusocial" because solitary wasps sound pretty chill. They're pollinators, and aren't aggressive.)
Update: the lecture was cut short to only 2 hours, due to my fault. Still, 10/10, would recommend Asderat as a lecturer to a friend!

MemberWanna schedule a call? :3
I'm not even kidding! I forgot to let go of my child-like curiosity as I grew up, so, if you have the patience to talk about zoology to someone who doesn't know the first thing about it, I'm more than willing to listen and learn new things!
