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!

Member"Bisexual"
"Gay"
"Straight"
Can we please decide on one of those?

MemberThe gay tag is completely uncalled for and the straight tag is probably against policy.

MemberA fur tag is all you need. Anything is possible and the more kinky the better. Like every image having a quart of cum sprayed all about.

MemberWell there is no male on male action going on here, but there is male/female/male going on. So it is straight. That people call it Bisexual because the guys are kissing is also correct in one way.
PlasmaFox
MemberThere are thousands of posts with the "gay" tag but we can't have one with the "straight" tag? =/

MemberThere is male on male kissing. Furthermore, when tagging orientation for a picture like this, you tag each and every sexual relation in the pic. There is straight penetration and gay kissing in this pic, so both are tagged. The males are penetrating while gay kissing, which is bisexual. Therefore the bisexual tag is added.

MemberGay is not necessarily as an insult but simply a status. Straight is common.
Gay = m/m relationship
Straight = m/f relationship
bisexual = m/m/f or f/f/m
lesbian = f/f
They are not meant as insults, simply as status. If you seriously take offense to the use of a simple word then I don't think you should be on here.
