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!

MemberAnd there's actually a tag for Mewtowo now so it's an official and very much permanent name.

Memberwhy is "female" "flat_chested" a locked tag? tagging rules == tag what you see, this should be tagged ambiguous_gender, with no obvious genitalia, AND if you go to the source its obviously male.
just because something looks female doesn't mean it is.

MemberEven though we can obviously tell it's a male from the original comic, that don't really matter with this image by itself with tag what you see. But by tag what you see logic, images like this should be set to ambiguous gender should they not? We can't see genitalia and a lack of a bust or a effeminate body really shouldn't define sex.
Especially in a place like this with concepts like cuntbois, dickgirls, full package herms and girly gay dudes as far as the eye can see. We don't know till legs have been spread.

Moderatorfemale figure + unknown genitalia = female
On the prospect of the tag ambiguous_gender, it's intent is for when images of characters are to androgynous to be identified as either male or female, or when the characters depicted have to many contradicting male and female traits to be classified as one. Gender tags are in place for categorization based off the visual traits of an image from an un-biased view point. Where the viewer of the image would no nothing of the character they are looking at.
True identity of a character as far as sex goes is perfectly acceptable to be placed in the description box, or the wiki of the character.
