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.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI've seen enough action movies to make a prediction on what happens next;
> Hammer assembles the team, they pull some kind of heist to find Dasha
> Shizu is in on it with the bad guys and manipulating Hammer, causes heist to fail in some way
> Hammer completely loses his shit, decides "fuck it" and goes full Terminator-in-Police-Station on the Ox clan to rescue Dasha*
> Clans are forced to go after the team... until they realize just who the team is affiliated with and that even combined, their syndicate is completely out of their league
> Syndicate backs off... for now, until the next comic. Sequal baiting is fun!
Throw in enough explosions, cool angles and nudity, and boom! A dope action story!
*Bonus possibilities;
> Dasha breaks herself out and does the Terminator rampage
> Shizu is secretly screwing over every party involved in the story, and profits from the chaos of playing the good guys and the bad guys against each other
> Man in the Suit is going to punish Ox Clan for fucking up the way they did
