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!

PrivilegedWhy would you choose to harass an artist/character owner that just said they're posting because they feel more comfortable now?
Do you not want e621 to have any art?

MemberIts really not a strawman, its a thing that happens, because I spent over a year debating on the forums and discussing this topic along with several other users who have also permanently left because of responses like yours. I can happily take my art down again because I have no prerogative to cater to people who need to validate their existence by shitting on other people.
If you have an issue with it, thats your problem and theres really no reason to harangue me.
Ninosi
Privileged"Attack" "harass" whatever you want to call it.
They're under no obligation to have their art here and the description just mentions that they're happy they don't have to label their character with a slur.
I have no interest in DM'ing you, sorry.

Memberkeeping your art on/ off the site is entirely your decision, but you're not free from critique on your reasoning, nor are you entitled to play the victim just because you personally don't like what someone has said.
I made one little comment; that's nothing compared to blacklisting an entire site because you don't like one little word. You are not being harassed, lectured, harangue'd, bullied, or abused in any way just because someone says your you have questionable reasoning.

MemberI said take it to a private message to keep it from filling up the comments, but since you "don't want to", I'm not going to be held accountable.
The artist is not even being attacked, they are being criticized. Nobody is saying the artist is forced to allow their art on the site, but they can, and will, be criticized if they have poor reasoning for wanting it taken off. Stop trying to throw out the victim card for sympathy points. I did not come out of nowhere and start insulting the artist, I looked at their petty little description box they added, and said "Wow, that's really shallow".
Ninosi
PrivilegedWhat you did was come onto an image an artist posted, after they just came off of DNP, and make a personal attack against them with thinly veiled humor over them not liking the old slur tags.
You're entitled to your opinion, but you're doing nothing but being disruptive and rude here.

Memberhow does this happen on every trans post.......
Demesejha
MemberSome people genuinely hate us for no other reason than they feel like it. And its fashionable I guess.
At this point, its hard for me to want to share sometimes because I know the reaction will be this. But the best thing we can do is not feed them, if we can.

MemberWow, I love when gender tags, arguably one of the most important tags, just straight up don't fucking work. Why is this not tagged 'female'?
alphamule
PrivilegedDid you read the tagging history or
artistuploader comments? It's locked to andromorph for a reason... and now I'm wondering WTH it's not showing up on left, but it is on the tag history.See: https://e621.net/forum_topics/18595 for tagging project on -male -female -intersex -ambiguous_gender -zero_pictured
This is the only post that shows up for -male -female -intersex -ambiguous_gender -zero_pictured clitoris -penis -breasts anthro.
Ah, yeah, tested it, then got the transitive relationship bug on the andromorph and intersex tags where it lists "adding" and "removing" the same locked tag. Requesting that -intersex be removed so that andromorph will 'stick'.
:edit: The uploader is an artist but this is drawn by another artist.
