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!

BlockedA lot of furries apparently do... what with their fetish with raves [glow sticks, UV lighting, etc.] and what not...

MemberThat thought made me wonder: How many furries are furry because they chose to be part of the lifestyle; versus how many are furry because they fried their brains on the ecstacy that's handed out at raves, and have been confusing themselves as looking like an animal with human features?

MemberI'm a furry because "Holy shit it would be awesome to be an animal person." Excluding humans, of course. We are technically of the kingdom Animalia.

BlockedTechnically ? Humans ARE animals.

PrivilegedI have the same feeling, though it's not a bad feeling because I can't find it and I really like this.
Well, that's what they said, just used the T word for emphasis of fact: Tell people that they have the manners of an animal and watch how many will actually respond "Well, yes I do!"
Clearly humans are above other animals...
