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!

MemberI would really appreciate it if people would stop being massive dicks to others who ask you to correctly tag your art. Tags are specifically meant for two things and two things only:
- To find what you are looking for
- To make sure you don't see what you don't want
The rest of you use tags every day to find the things you want to masturbate furious to. You wouldn't be able to do this if people didn't tag properly, and then finding hot gay porn would be (marginally) more difficult and a struggle. Don't downvote the shit out of someone who is asking you to tag for literally the exact equal other 50% of what tags are for. Like every day in the past week I find a post where someone asked for good tagging and people told them off. Stop it.
And yes, in case anyone thinks this is biased in some manner, yes I do love me the shit out of some gay sex. But not everyone wants to see it. Some of you blacklist gore, MLP, human, others blacklist male/male.
Don't be degenerate about this.
