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 don't get it.
DonKalypso
MemberIt's a play on the recent recut of The Last Roundup, where they removed all mention of Derpy's name, changed her voice, and underped her eyes. When the episode aired originally someponies cried about Derpy being retarded (Tia knows we can't have retarded people being portrayed on television, THEY MAY BE OFFENDED), and as such Hasbro pulled the episode so they could "Fix" it, by destroying Derpy's, well, derpyness.

Member*Keeps mouth shut about how mad she is about this bullshit*
Bizzle
MemberThat depends on which voice you heard it in.
DaftMink
MemberUm, they edited the episode because the word derpy can be defined as retarded and they didn't want little girls (the shows target audience) calling each other that.
They also edited her voice because it didn't match what the storyboard writer had in mind while writing the scene.
Didn't we all get the memo?.

MemberThey basically removed Derpy. Have you seen the edit they did to her on Hearts and Hooves Day?
TheFrozenOne
MemberYou're forgetting the part where they changed Derpy's eyes, animation, and Rainbow Dash's voice.
RemusShepherd
MemberThe writer of that episode has said that the eyes will continue to be derped in the future. The voice will probably change to the more girly voice. The name...that's up in the air. It may go back to Ditzy.

MemberHow did you miss the raging on every site as Bronies verbally went to war with both each other and with Trolls? Granted, that's nothing new, but it was a little more heated than normal.
