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!

BlockedStop changing the tags.
1: "stiff" is not a valid tag, as it's basically meaningless.
2: The plant spring on the upper character's leg is holly, not mistletoe. Mistletoe has round leaves and white berries.
3: The character on top does not look male, they look female. And we use tags to label what characters LOOK LIKE, not what they ARE. The rule is "Tag what you see, not what you know." If the top character is actually male, then use the "male_(lore)" tag to denote that, not any non-lore tags.

Memberoh, neat, i was about to head to your profile and ask you stop trying to misgender the characters; nothing about the top looks like a female as there is no visible breast-tissue, so "at best" they're a non-defined gender, if not male,
and i don't disagree with the holly, but i also do not wish for the tags to be misleading and thus do not think there should be female-tags to the post,
and i would know the characters genders since they are mine,
