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!

BlockedHow does this make sense? Mammals have paws. Reptiles don't happen to, Nor do fish or birds last I checked...

I put them into a hexagram pattern, with the Fathers as the female (downward facing) part of the hexagram, and the Mothers in the upward facing masculine position, in some attempt to represent both masculine and feminine elements of divinity." -TriadFox

MemberDid you seriously just link to a Wikipedia article proving you just used a word wrong (AND get six upvotes in the process)?
Sarcasm is a tone of voice. You can't be sarcastic in writing because writing does not have vocal timbre and it is your reader who decides its tone, not you.
Sarcasm also has nothing to do with verbal irony, the term you were looking for.
You were just using this as an excuse to get out of an argument anyway, that argument being of course that furry is just a social label - lizards birds et al are still furry - so the use of a paw to represent the fandom is questionable because it isn't accurate to a large number of them.
Of course, this doesn't stop Furiffic et al from using a paw as their icon anyway, so.

MemberSo whatever disorder you have that has you trying to argue with jokes made from years ago, how's that working out for you?
