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.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI thought Maddie was actually an adult though?
werewolfwill
MemberShe's 17, 4 years too young to drink besides she's a shorty compared to the others so she'd need some form of ID to prove she'd be legal anyways.
Not that person
MemberThanks cowboy, but everywhere else in the world she's just one year too young and in some countries she could even drink weak alcoholic beverages with her 17 years of age.
Considering that Twokinds is playing in a medieval-ish world it wouldn't surprise me either if every adolescent was already allowed to drink wine or beer.

BlockedIn the more backwards parts of the world maybe, only 1 year too young in civilized countries though.

MemberI'm going off of where I live in the USA where you have to be 21 to buy drinks but 18 to drive and serve in the army.
user 35468
MemberSince when do you have to be 18 to drive?? It's always been 16. Or am I just old and out of touch.

MemberI don't trust like that

MemberYou get a learner permit at 16 at least I did but you have to have an adult with you it's 18 to get the actual license to drive alone unless you worked on a farm or something which would be an exception and you can get a license earlier.
user 35468
MemberIn the 90's when I got mine, at 15 you could get your permit, had to have a licensed driver over 21 with you. At 16 you could get a regular license with no restrictions. Driving for a farm (I grew up on one), you had to be a minimum of 13 to operate a tractor (with a safety course). And 16 with license to drive an 18 wheeler (no CDL required). I know they had more restrictions now, but didn't think it was that much.
