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: Humanoid

Posted under Art Talk

I have been bringing more fanart of an anime I like here but it keeps getting taken down cause it’s “only human”. I have seen a picture on here where the only thing that indicates that it’s not human was fangs and it’s tounge. The characters I post have animal ears and have cosplay/fursuit type paws. So this site is telling me that nekomini is not allowed cause it’s human even though there’s thousands of nekomini posts here. half animal half human, humanoids,dressing as an animal which is essentially furry stuff this site is all about aren’t allowed here?
What gives?

It's better when you can tell the character is clearly humanoid. This (source ), for example, looks to me like two cosplayers wearing fake paws and fake ears, with a third character not wearing a costume. There's nothing to suggest the animal ears or paws are part of their anatomy. The other deleted posts I've seen of yours seem to have the same issue; the animal parts are very minimal, and of what they do have, the paws look like gloves, and the ears could easily be seen as a head accessory.

So humans cosplaying/fursuiting aren’t allowed on this site that’s dedicated to anything anthro/inhuman?
