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!

MemberI live in the South and I laughed so hard at this.
Despite popular belief, there are some very smart Southerners, Cajuns, Rednecks, whatever you want to call them. Try to imagine one of them explaining how to split an atom, without laughing.

MemberI have no doubt that there are smart southerners.
But these seem not to be those...

PrivilegedNow I'm actually curious which flag that is. It doesn't match any I remember, nor does it exactly match any of the results in an image search for flags with a blue center.
:edit:
Oh, hilariously, I think it's an amalgam of several flags, including the USA's old ring of stars design and Tennessee's. Explains why it wasn't tagged.
Man, this comic is funny as hell for some reason, with the absurdity of the aliens.
