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'm pretty sure he's talking about it in terms of the pony world, not real world.

MemberHERESY!

*BANG!*

MemberYep, Zecora is completely and totally independent of pony society. It's a good thing she never has to go into town for necessary supplies or anything, or else her monologue might be just the slightest bit hypocritical.
But you shouldn't think too hard about that, Big Mac. Now get back to performing manual labor for the woman who is in no way dependent on others and who asked you out here for the sole purpose of fixing something for her.

MemberEven in the deepest wilds of equestria, there are ayn rand fans.

MemberZecora in this comic reminds me of Neytiri from Avatar for some reason...
kamrud
Membersomeone has never read ayn rand....

MemberDamn it Jay, anytime you want to open your mouth cause you think you're deeply philosophical and just HAVE to share just don't. please.
stupid contrived tripe. what do you want us to take away from this? Big Mac's deeply searching for meaning and Zecora's just waiting for someone to ask the right question so she can become a preacher and prove how deep she is and how impressive her self reliance is and we should all be more humanist (irony lol) like she is?
you watch cartoons and look at porn as an escape from reality, please don't bring it here

MemberI was trying to think of something sophisticated and original to say but ive got nothing so...
FUCK THE GOVERMENT
Baske
MemberYes, Jay, we all know your an Objectivist and an atheist. We got that from Better Days and Original Life pretty well.
Baske
MemberYou're*, goddamn.

MemberWhenever I see Jay Naylor art my brain automatically cuts out the dialogue bubbles. Makes it more enjoyable that way.

I think this is what Zecora was implying.
Skinflint
Membergod shut up and fuck him you stupid hippy
nobody gives a fuck also capitalist christians REPRESENT
Maltheorize
MemberWhat she means is that even if the ponies didn't exist rain would still fall and the sun would always rise. It has nothing to do with her not needing society.

MemberI love how Big Mac's reaction is something along the lines of "Whatever Zecora, we're about to clear-cut this forest to plant more apple trees, because that's all we eat." I imagine the sugar and flour is somehow apple-derived.
In other words, Sweet Apple Acres is Equestria's Monsanto.
GarethGobulcoque
MemberIf that is the point, then Jay could not have put it in a more self-righteous and hypocritical way. Also, the phrase, 'I require no pony to work for me,' is pretty unambiguous.
BrerFox
MemberI finally read the first page. Despite my sarcastic assessment of Big Mac's presence, apparently he is rebuilding Zecora's house. As in, he is working for her. Strange for Zecora's Gulch to need a mere workpony to do something.

MemberShe knows too much! *knock her down*
empathyheart
MemberJay, it is nice to see an artist with an objective point of view, I write so I can't talk but you go from furry porn to deep pony ramblings like a madman
I salute you
And zecora is right... nature needs no manipulation
And I am agnostic so you can't sell religion or nonreligious ideas to me
Though I do dabble in wicca and others
And omegle

BlockedNo one is ever truly independent it's natures way that we all need help from others every now and then nature even shows this when some animals of different species will sometimes adopt the abandoned cub of another, then if you wanna be more exact scientifically rain is generated from the heat of both the sun and the earths core slowly heating the waters around reliance is part of nature as much as a robot would rely on a technician to keep it running properly
