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!

MemberAmbus did the right thing here, as sad as it is. Mindes needs to see a psychologist, pronto.

MemberI suppose now it's time for him to sink or swim... and I'm guessing he's gonna sink, especially with this likely being a repeat of the past. He couldn't have gotten this far on his own.

Memberthe original story isn't much better though, unfortunately.

MemberWhen you are in a relationship like this, it is extremely strenuous on you emotionally and mentally, if anything, this would be as easy as it could have gotten.

but I cant figure out why im feeling like this...
can someone explain me please?

MemberSounds like a literal triggered (I hate how this word has been abused). You're probably experiencing a panic attack due to past trauma... Is that the case?
mr-fancy-paws
MemberI would not know if it is a trauma from the past, but as far as I can remember, (I have a very bad memory, so much so that I can not remember what I did yesterday) I was fairly tortured by my parents in a psychological and physical way. (besides that I miss a person, that is another boy, yeah I am a male too) so ... does that count as trauma from the past?

MemberI guess i'm a terrible person. I would have given in. Sex aside, I couldn't have left him literally begging. I'd doom him to repeat abuse if it'd make him happy. I've been there before, I'm probably doing it now. You can't change people, but you can give them a safe place to help them learn, to help them try.
