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!

BlockedHis art is great. Photonoko is my favorite artist, sometimes I ponder about whether if I should to use his stuff as a wallpaper and ignore my family's stares or not.

BlockedThe only way to buy a house here at my age is by selling your organs and rent is also expensive as hell, especially now that unemployment is everywhere.

MemberAll the more reason to save your money for more important things.

MemberIt's not like you have to buy a house right away, you can rent one until you put together big bux
Also unemployment is fairly rare on higher-tier jobs, but that requires good education, which I presume costs in your country of origins

Memberi don't see anything wrong with this comment. it's your opinion, and you're free to express it. the 8 people who have downvoted you by the time i'm posting this misunderstand the purpose of the downvote button. people will press it whenever they disagree with the sentiment and not when they're faced with blatant trolling or the like.

MemberExactly, in any case I'd say a B to A- is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

MemberClearly the best option would be to get together with a bunch of other furries and buy a large house you can all live in so everyone knows everyone else is a furry.
