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 think they just are like those cells that make copies of themselves

MemberMaybe they are like the moclans in "The Orville." Where somehow males reproduce with each other and lay eggs.

MemberAs far as I know they reproduce asexually via an unknown process, but I do know they "hatch" from rocks, and that they refer to each other as brother not only culturally, but also in a literal sense as they're all related. Despite this, they are also capable of being fathers and sons, as seen in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
They're less similar flesh and blood creatures than they are to golems, to the point of the word Goron being a corruption of the word golem.

Member"Father" and "son" might be a creator connection, then, like how a living statue might refer to its artist as its "father".

MemberRiju out here asking all the important questions.
I remember that in the Ocarina manga there was a girl Goron, but maybe i'm juwt remembering things incorrectly
