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.

  • This is an extremely controversial comment but i really do think that people with this kind of talent could be using their talent to make money in other ways rather than porn

    this is still really good though

    Which is why I am very grateful they choose to use their talents to satisfy the carnal part of my brain that loves sex.
    Besides, talented people get horny, too.

    Who says they don't? They could be making porn under a fake alias, no one would ever know.

    I consider it a good thing when a creator can earn a living by making what they like making, be it porn or not. Porn helps induce is a valid emotional response in a viewer, just as horror, drama, and action do. If they'd prefer not making as much porn, I'd agree that it would be nice if they could do more of those other things too.

    A commission is a commission, they'd get the same amount either way for their time. Having their talent delving into porn opens their pool of customers.

    Talent like this is clearly best used by making porn; freelance, big audience, can be done from home, commissions, freedom, etc. Porn will never go out of business, there will always be horny people. So I'm not sure why you're blatantly suggesting that this artist should go do something else.

    Thanks for the comment ^^
    Porn art may not be (very debatably) as elevated an art form as landscapes or still lifes or fine abstract art, but honestly I consider it to be easily on the same "level" as comedy or cooking, they all seek to elicit a physical and psychological response such as laugh, joy, savor, salivation, erection, arousal, etc. and being a good chef is seen as something respectable. If it's because sex is nasty and shameful then I think that's a cultural thing that is long overdue to die. If it's because it's not as profitable as being an artist for a big game company, that makes sense, although there is a good deal of money to be made of furry smut as the demand greatly exceeds the production and is constantly renewed, but money is not the reason I draw, I keep my prices low and open commissions very rarely, this pic for example is not a commission, just sheer expression of lust, happiness and aesthetics.
    I also do make a lot of things (perhaps a majority) that aren't erotic, like my comic on FA and other pics, some worldbuilding art I've yet to upload and other projects that I will reveal in time.
    I'm currently in university studying something that I'd like to be my job. Art has never been my job, just one of my hobbies and I'd like to keep it that way :) I greatly enjoy making it and I hope it brings a small bit of pleasure to some of the viewers!

    Also thanks everyone else for the comments, I know I rarely comment on e6 but I do read and appreciate them
