News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

Topic: I've made a lewd thing for the first time. Is it good?

Posted under Art Talk

I think it looks good enough to upload to e621. The anatomy is good, the coloring and shading is very nice, and that wrench looks odd until one realizes it's specifically made for a mouse working on human-sized machines. Give it a shot.

The Twitter reaction was in contrast quite lukewarm

Well damn, no wonder it was. I've raised suspicions when I saw my tweet doesn't appear in the search results, checked, and it turns out I've been shadowbanned. What the hell?! Can I escape that, or my career on Twitter ended before it could begin?

You might want to open up an account on FurAffinity, Inkbunny, and/or other gallery as a backup. Twitter doesn't seem to be well designed for use as a gallery site, and if they go Tumblr, you'll still have a footprint elsewhere.

Also, welcome onto e621. We might not always be high-falootin' art, but we know what we like. :p

I thought about it, but I don't think I'll be drawing a lot of furries (Even though I appreciate a lot of furry art, I'm not a furry myself, I think), so I'm not sure if my art will fit the format of these sites, since it will be mostly hairless apes. Besides Twitter and this here establishment, I only really know a couple of rule34 booru-style galleries and Newgrounds as places where you can post lewds.

Newgrounds and Pixiv are good as gallery sites if you plan on a lot of human stuff. NewTumbl is a good site for timeline stuff like Twitter--and more searchable to boot.

Deviantart is a good middle ground. Lots of artists from both the non-furry and furry sides of the fence. And they do allow explicit stuff, as long as it's tagged properly, so it'll be hidden from those who haven't deliberately changed their user settings to see such things.

If I remember correctly, they don't allow anything that goes past the "character is nude" levels of lewdness, even if it's tagged as nsfw. And then there's that lots of people are saying that deviantart is dead.

Fair points. Was just making a suggestion, was all. Though, I could swear there was at least a point in time when they allowed full-on porn...

"They were shit at enforcement" is not the same thing as "they allowed it".
