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!

MemberIt's times like this I wonder why Eric became a slave trader.
Corinthian
MemberI wonder what made him want to draw Keidran nudes in the first place.
Iago1
MemberFamily business, and he gets to be around Keidran all day, plus all the sex he can eat.
Cute kids tend to grow up into horny teens, and if no one tells him that slavery's wrong...

MemberDawwwww kat is so cute
TsukiyomaruZero
MemberPlus if I recall he is a good slave trader.

MemberShot in the dark.
He did it to perpetuate good treatment of keidrans and try to do SOME positive work in the world.
Likely out of despising his family for their mistreatment of keidran like Kat.
Considering he thinks of her as family that seems like a logical conclusion to me.

MemberI think you're giving him a bit too much credit. Eric may be comparatively nice to his slaves, but he still sells them to other people and has sex with them without their consent without any seeming pangs of conscience. It's only just recently dawned to him in the comic that he may have been doing something immoral.
Just because he gives Kat special treatment doesn't change the fact that he's been viewing other Keidrans as property for his whole life.

MemberI'm not sure which clip from 12 Years a Slave I wanted to use, so have both.
CamKitty
MemberHe actively tried to re apply the mind rape collar.
Eric is scum and should not get :cute" moments
yugijak
MemberTrue.
But at the same time look at his relationship with his only gamily we've seen. His brother.
It might be that while he may not do pure good he DOES have a choice in clientele.
Also keep in mind that he forced the collar because he suspected them of lying. And it would be VERY bad if that had been the case. He moght have gone a bit too far with it but I think that was the point of the moment: to remind us he still does follow Templar law.
Though if we really are going as far as that moment let's not forget he bought them freedom, gave them seed funding for their new lives, and did the utmost he could to make amends.
Eric, now that I've written this down, may be the most unclear of all the Twokinds characters.
CamKitty
MemberIt's a mind rape collar, there is no justification if we want to pretend he is a good guy
yugijak
MemberBut neither I think is he entirely evil.
He's very complicated.
In a way he makes me think of Legend of the Shield Hero.

PrivilegedPeople are mad because he's too realistic in how he has his rationalizations, even when trying to not be a dick. XD
That saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" was an old form of this wisdom. People will rarely think of themselves as evil, and even the emperor's tax collectors (who were barely above slave catchers) can be redeemed. Beware the guy who thinks he can't possibly do any wrong... Therein lies narcissism.
