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.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberAt least Zen and Natani doesn’t have to worry about Clovis hijacking the Bro’s’ link

MemberActually it’s because his/her mother was a fox Keidran, and fox Keidran are looked down upon as inferior by wolf and dog Keidran

MemberCan someone better explain Natani and Keith's relationship like im five? Keith is Male, identifies Male, and is attracted to Females. Natani is Female, identifies as Male, and is...Bi? But currently attracted to a Male.
Does that make Natani a homosexual trans, or just a masculine hetero.

MemberCurrently Natani seems to be leaning towards a genderfluid identity.

Member...What does that mean? Explain this like I’m dum or something.

MemberNatani is female, has admitted she is female and is alright with it after waking from the coma.
Still prefers to be seen as a male shown when Flora who wasn't present at her reveal asks why
Natani is wearing bandages over her chest.
What genderfluid means from my understanding is someone who is one gender and identifies as either male or female based on how they are feeling at the time.

MemberIt means, as it sounds, having a fluid gender identity; making a comfortable mix from male and female identities, or switching between the two based on situation and mood.
A bit more nuance than that. Currently Natani is learning to embrace some of their female characteristics, but not willing to give up their male ones in the process.

Come for the cute furs. Leave with a deep and nuanced conversation about gender identity.

MemberThe others explained it. But for more context on the how you can read the comic where it's explained. In short, Natani got hit by a soul-destroying spell. It only clipped her rather than hitting her full-blast, so she survived the initial attack but with a missing chunk of her soul. In order to save her from dying, she needed a "donor" that could fill in the missing chunk. She underwent a magical process which permanently linked her and her brother and used part of her brother's soul to fill the gap. The part she got included his gender identity. So, combined with the fact that she had to pretend to be male in her assassin role, led to her growing up with some gender identity issues.
