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!

MemberNot seeing much difference between this and post #449596 - some changes in color saturation and nothing else. Issat grounds for flagging as a dupe?

Membercolor edits or variants are not dupes
Shingen
Memberdoesn't that work only if it's the author who created the differently-colored version? otherwise i've seen those removed with "pointless edit" comment.
this version isn't in the original blog post nor in any recent of his works that i've seen, so i assume the uploader edited it himself.
not an artist? please, he's the reason why i started looking at gay stuff :v

AdminIt would be nice to know indeed if this is an authorized edit or a lighting change from the uploader
BrightShadow
MemberYou sure you're not confusing the artist (Braeburned) with the resident shitposter (Brayburned)?
Know the difference - it can save your life.

Memberidk if this an edit or color variant but its still not a dupe. dupe/inferior would be copy of exact same image, more compressed version of exact same image, smaller version of exact same image or cropped version of exact same image. not same image with more saturation.

BlockedI got mistaken with a single letter difference here.
Braeburned
MemberYeah, this isn't my edit. Kinda just looked like someone threw it into photoshop and cranked that saturation slider to 11. Weird.
Rainbow Dash
AdminWell, are you okay with it being here or is this something you'd rather be removed?
DarkSonic
MemberOhey there he is. Anything on the horizon or are you taking a break for an indefinite length of time or something?
