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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberSomething I heard, if you tell a jahova's witness you've been excommunicated they'll avoid you like the plague.

MemberI only think this is true if you've actually been excommunicated, although I'm probably giving their investigative skills too much credit.

MemberMy dad studies the King James Bible a lot, and the Jehovah's Witnesses hate the King James Bible. He invited them in and preached to them. It's been eight years and they still haven't been back.
My friend James is Catholic, but also a closet nudist. He opened the door on them with nary a stitch on. They don't go to his house anymore either.
So yeah, excommunication, preaching to them from anything other than the NIV, and opening the door nude (unless you're in a Hladilnick comic) works great.

MemberOpening the door in your underwear and asking "What are you selling?" also works.

MemberFor some strange reason, I cannot see this without thinking that the two older females are twins or sisters, the male is their younger brother, and the two young females are their offspring.
The reason they live in the wild is because in that way they can indulge in ancient, incest-filled traditional lifestyle. Here they are secluded and happy to live their lives as they please without the rest of their original tribe/community bothering them.

MemberI believe the word of the artist is that this is incest. The two older women are his mother and his aunt, and the two younger women are his sisters.

MemberHot damn, I wasn't that far off then! Thank you for the info!
