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!

MemberDidn't expect the incest and intersex/intersex tags to be the ones to get removed, since the speech bubble implies it pretty plainly being Isabelle...

ModeratorText doesn't contribute to tagged content, only what is visibly seen.
And no that doesn't catch 22.

MemberNot to be facetious, but under that context and "tag what you see not what you know" nothing should be able to be tagged with incest, as you'd need either prior knowledge or contextual in image text stating it. So it seems kind of unfair to make that claim, don't you think?
Versperus
ModeratorTrue, incest tags are completely contextual, it's kind of wacky, I don't have a good answer I can give you. but in the context of this post, if there was some sort of body to go with the penis giving its owner form than sure, but it's simply a penis.

MemberWould it have helped is instead of "'Belle" the text was "Sis"? I know I can't make a new edit just for that though I wish I could, but rules but just for future reference.

Moderatorsee, that's still an issue of text only, effectively the site treats text in the content of a post as if it doesn't exist, beyond tags such as text, English_text, url, signature.
Though I'll be honest, as far as the content of this post it might get deleted for one of two reasons.
1. It's a merger edit, which usually get classified as a low effort edit.
2. It surpasses the sites maximum on bases with the addition of this post pushing the total ammound of this base to 6 when the max is 5.
Mind you I'm not a janitor, it's just two reasons this post could be deleted. At that same time however, if this post does get deleted you can put a link to this animation in the description or the comments of one of the other posts of this base so users can still view it.

MemberCum version when though? That'd be better than the original for me, ngl
