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.

    Since it's apparently just a leeeetle too long to post under "edit reason," I'mma' put it here:

    Sure you can use the humanoid tag for non-human traits. Apart from elves and dwarves and the like, that's the entire POINT of the humanoid tag. It means "human, except with a small number of non-human traits." Like a neko, for example. Human, but with cat ears and tail. But both of the Pokemorphs in the picture above have TOO MANY non-human traits to count as humanoid. The only human traits they display are the shapes of their bodies. That's textbook anthro.

    anthro, on this site, requires animal traits on the characters in order to be tagged. I quote: "But as this describes most non-human characters on e621 and intelligence can be difficult to tag, the anthro tag is specifically used only for animal-like 'furry' characters."

    Humanoid, in contrast, requires creatures that look like humans, but with little to no animal traits. "Non-human creatures that resemble humans, with minimal or no animal features. This includes, but is not limited to... Humanlike Pokémon, such as Jynx, Gardevoir, and Meloetta."

    Ergo, these creatures are humanoid, not anthro.
