News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    tag by what you see, not what you know.

    if the artist draws a character with breasts, a vagina and no penis but says it's a male it still gets tagged as female.

    And thus a straw man was born.

    I don't think you quite understand how the tag system works.

    A submission is given a number of keywords explaining the direct content of the picture. You search a term and get a list of results of pictured tagged with that same term. This helps people easily find exactly what they are looking for.

    Why would someone specifically looking for pictures showing multiple tails want to see this image show up in the results? It doesn't even show a single tail. That's like tagging an image of a clothed character with "nipples" because, even though it doesn't show nipples anywhere in the image, the character does indeed have nipples underneath.
