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.

MemberI totally agree. I do think the reason for this is that it's not just only for sexual gratification, but it also gives us a character to creatures, things, inanimate objects, etc. that we can talk to, be friends, siblings, or even a wife with you inside the comfort of your house, and wouldn't be judgemental as say other humans would. It also gives us a way to not feel lonely when that occurs. I do hope in the near future we get closer to having these creatures adn such come to life, without superpowers/abilities to destroy the world and such, to bring along or even live with us at home as anthro creatures/pets. But that's just me.
