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!

Memberit always irks me when people act like chara was somehow a mastermind who somehow planned everything out decades ahead
they were like 10
chara was just an abused kid with a martyr complex who loved their family and made bad decisions because of it
being a ghost who died violently exascerbates resentment and other negative qualities who knew

BlockedIt's ironic because everyone is willing to forgive Asriel for the asshole things he did while "not himself" as soulless Flowey, but few will forgive Chara for the exact same thing he did during a presumptive Genocide Run. It's like Toby was asking the player: "Hey, you forgave this one kid when I held you by the hand and told you to do it, can you do it again on your own next time?" and most people answered "Nope!"
