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.
Further information on the bill itself can be found at the Free Speech Coalition: https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2112/

    Oh, sorry, i'm from Russia and we have only two genders. We usually don't give a shit about LGBT and SJW stuff.

    But in Russian there is a pronoun ,, they". What the hell are you talking about? Also they used when you are addressing a person whose gender you do not know.

    they is commonly used when you legit have no idea the sex of someone regardless of trans or sjw so that's kind of irrelevant :V

    Yep, we do have a "they" pronounce, but we don't use it like you do. We use it only while referring to "many".
    Though, we sometimes use pronounces while not knowing person's sex, but mostly referring to their job. Художник - means artist - is "he" in russian. Няня - means babysitter - is "she" in russian. And so on.
    So Photonoko for russians is "he", because he's an artist.

    Oh, come on, dude. Just because most of the folk in our (yes, I'm russian too) country are douches about stuff like that doesn't mean you have to be too. That was straight up rude no matter the language differences.

    That wasn't really an excuse, more of an "I don't really give a shit" type of response. While I can actually understand if someone's having troubles with foreign language, the sensible thing to do in this kind of situation would be to apologize, try to memorize such details and move on. I get it, learning new language can be hard, nothing to laugh about. However rudeness and it's opposite are universal, I believe.

    Sorry about responding so late to this but yeah I suppose excuse is the wrong phrasing in that context
