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!

MemberWhat's that artist called? Thanks in advance.

MemberThere's no source for this and it's not on the artist's twitter so I'm curious if it was actually intended to be posted publically, or if it was somewhere else and had a mention of the original.
bleph
MemberApparently this was a commission and the artist did not know about the original, probably the commissioner detailed what it should look like panel by panel.

edit: altho in other comments on their twitter they said the commission was to remake with different characters? this is convoluted.
Rainbow Shoebill
MemberIt was on their Twitter but got removed because the original artist requested it to be taken down

MemberThat's the joke.

MemberLines are clearly not stolen, it's sort of meme-ey... The main issue is that the text is lifted straight from the first one otherwise it's like trying to claim a pose. Hrm, kind of a grey area. But the artist definitely did a great job and I'm not about to get angry on behalf of someone else.

MemberYeah, I'm not sure what to make of this. It might've been the wrong move, but I don't think Jam meant to "steal" anything, just make their own version of it.
