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!

MemberIf that was supposed to be a joke then I suggest you try harder next time... Jokes are supposed to be funny after all...

MemberFunny Definition: "Causing laughter or amusement; humorous."
Joke Definition: "a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline."
Literally the definition of funny is in the definition of Joke and the word directly referenced too...

MemberI find what you are trying to do is nitpick semantics in a way that favors specifically your point but doesn't actually accurately reflect a majority or even a significant amount of use cases...
You even said that the joke might not be funny initially "but becomes funny when..." Well that is the keyword(s) there, as you yourself are saying that it will be eventually funny.
And by most logic the joke is only an attempted joke until it is considered funny by someone... (It only truly becomes a joke when found funny...)
Basically like I don't say I beat a boss in a game until I actually beat it... I say I attempted to beat a boss... (Assuming I had...)
As for dark humor if it is still found humorous, (I mean it is in the name) amusing or laughable then it is still considered funny. If it is none of those things then it was simply an attempt at Dark Humor... Not Dark Humor...
Anyways your argument about jokes not needing to be funny but instead just make you laugh (which is the definition of funny) is like saying fire doesn't need to be hot... It just doesn't make sense...
Regardless one thing I have to give you credit for is you have been trying to explain your point in a respectful way which is uncommon and appreciated. I don't agree with the point you are trying to make, but you are handling it well.
