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!

MemberNah. Quite simple i feel.
Step 1) Remove all males.
Step 2) Grant magic dildo.
Step 3) Every other user's cli8t doubles as a penis.
Step 4) world that's 50/50 gynomorphs and females.
Step 5) smash the love button while ego swells beyond the god tier it was before.
Step 6) Get bored.
Step 7) Do some other batshit crazy shit to the mortals.
Step 8) Repeat steps 6-8

MemberI think something is sus about that goddess. I don't buy the story that males were exclusively responsible for all the evil in the land and that ritual of sacrificing a person to give birth seems very cruel to me - not something a purely good god would come up with...

MemberWell to be fair, gods are gods. Mortals cannot hold them to the same limitations, nor can we truly compare their motivations and morals with our own.

MemberAll ethical discussion aside, it's also a disastrously bad idea from a purely pragmatic standpoint. Someone has to be sacrificed in order for someone else to be born, but sacrifice isn't the only way you can die - there's still accidents and disease out there. This dooms the population to slow extinction, as there can be no increases and even if nobody died of old age, if you live long enough your odds of meeting your end in some other manner will eventually reach 100%.
The title of the comic says it all: their deity very intentionally doomed them to an eventual extinction, while establishing a myth that perpetuated her own power and worship in the meantime.
