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!

MemberHmmm, bartender at upscale resort has wicked facial scar, huge snake tat, forearms the size of sheep-boy's torso, and is dressed like a Street Fighter character.
Call me crazy, but I'm wondering if this just might be one of the bad guys that giant lizard bodyguard was supposed to be protecting Ms. Leopard from.

MemberDon't be so prejudiced. Clearly he's part of an outreach program meant to teach useful skills to those swallowed up by gangland life so they have the opportunity to turn to being productive members of society.

MemberYes girls have been throwing themselves at this guy for the whole comic but this feels too easy.
