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!

BlockedIm confused why did you get dislikes on your comment. What the hell? Why are people so agressive and nontollerative around here?? Its as if since they like dickgirls it is not tollerable for others to like anything else. Btw i like dickgirls too but i upvoted your comment.

MemberIt is often considered “rude” to comment with a “But I want it *this* way,” though there are more and less polite ways to express it, and not only was this perfectly polite by not dispariging this original version, and also complimenting it, but whoever downvoted the original comment here was also ignorant of the fact that someone *has* done female edits if the last time Honovy drew that snow leopard

Member"Hey this is great, but I'm going to wait for someone to alter it without consent of the character owner or artist so I can personally jerk off to something that may be important to someone else as is"

MemberI already told the person who edited my first piece of honovy art that they're free to do as they please. It's a creation-centric community, so I'm always going to be happy to see other people do their own take on things. The editor guy also asked for and received permission from Honovy last time from my understanding. I'm not going to claim to speak on behalf of Uchoa here, but I feel very safe saying that he doesn't care about edits either if all other parties are OK with it.
tl;dr Like Aktwin said, there's already precedent for such an edit.
I've got a pretty laissez-faire attitude towards the internet, I personally think it's both naive and lame to expect everyone to merely look, not touch. Half the fun of the internet is people doing their own take on something! Wouldn't have any good memes to shitpost otherwise. If some pixels on a screen are so valuable, then I think those pixels are best left in private.

MemberBecause it's disrespectful to the artist and the people who commissioned it. You want art a certain way? Commission it yourself. And don't whine about downvotes as if they matter.
