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’d rather Shicks be alive than Micco :<

MemberGotta be some person to try to save the dudes who just tried to rape and murder you when you got home from the hospital after a TBI.

MemberWhy?
I think you might be thinking of Boggart, with the yellow eyes. We saw him try to stop Micco from confronting Jonsey in the restaurant. Later, he was very shaken when looking at Shicks' remains and thinking about how he could have been in the same position -- which I think contributed to him snitching on Micco and Swab after he failed to convince them that attacking Jonsey was a bad idea.
Boggart seems to have some good values, but all Shicks has done is defend Bowser (who's obviously corrupt) and rape Noctua.

MemberI know the difference very well. Its likely only from having seen more of Micco‘S hostile+rapy behavior than much of Shicks (which at the time I didn’t even know what “fraternizing” had to do with getting killed)
(That and a wolf bias)
