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: Cloaca + herm combo

Posted under Art Talk

So, we've all probably seen thousands of arts being tagged as herm, with a character having both male and female genitalia. But what if... there was a cloaca... (I mean cloaca without penis, as it's actually rarity in nature to male have one) on a herm character? How would it work and how would we know if the character is actually herm?

Also, that question makes another one - what is difference between male cloaca and female cloaca? How does they differ from each other and how to know which gender is it (both externally and internally)?

I really wish there was some characters with cloacas that are actually herms, but doesn't have a penis. What do You think? Also if You know any artworks with such characters, can You share? I am really curious how would it be.

there is a peener in a male cloaca, externally they look the same. Most people draw them like vaginas though then get surprised when their cloaca having male gets tagged as an andromorph. Especially when they also give the character an anus, as that's not how anatomy works. Cloaca are a duel unit one whole for both types of waste.

honestly I don't think there would be an accurate way to tag herms with cloaca unless they had two different slits with one having a ween coming out, or an internal view with eggs getting fertilized or some shit
