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!

Memberthe term "cuntboy" is incredibly offensive to trans and intersex folk. Please use andromorph or even just boy. "Cuntboy" "dickgirl" "shemale" and other shit like that pretty much just level trans and intersex people down to their genitals, and if you seriously want to be proper or literal, andromorph, gynomorph and hermaprodite are words that can be used, or just use the term that the character/person prefers

BlockedWow youre so rude i love you!
Anioops~
Memberamazing, astonishing how basically everyone in this comment section is butthurt because they cant call the character a cuntboy, damn
Zer0Rebel4
Memberno, its just because as a literal transgender guy myself, its incredibly derogatory. Ive been called a cuntboy before, and it peeves me because thats not what i am, im just a dude. Im not defending a fictional character, im defending my rights as a transgender guy and the fact that terms like "cuntboy", "dickgirl", "shemale", "shehe", "heshe" and "pusslad" are incredibly vulgar. I wasnt even being rude, and yall are so absolutely butthurt for someone asking you to not call trans guys "cuntboys"
Oddly Arousing
MemberPersonally, I would think terms like andromorph, hermaphrodite, or gynomorph are just as offensive. I know what they mean, but to a lot of people, it will sound like xenomorph or some other sort of alien thing. It would sound like you aren't even human. I have met an intersex person, and he would prefer I don't use any term like that. Just call him by what gender he looks like the most he said. Maybe I just don't know much, but don't you think there could be better terms? I mean, "cuntboy" is offensive because it defines your genitals, and not you as a person, but doesn't "boy," "girl," "male," "female," do the exact same thing? Or at least they do in science. I admit, I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject. I'm actually curious, so if you don't mind helping me figure it out, that would be nice.
Side note: personally, I don't care what ever someone calls me. Could even be a derogatory term. As long as it works to make the subject clear, or to get my attention, it serves the purpose of any other label. I don't try and tie myself to a label, I am just me.

Membere621 has a pretty robust system for keeping comment sections relatively filth-free, actually. Commenting slurs, political opinions, misinformation, or creepy sex fantasies often leads to accounts getting suspended or banned.

Memberi find it strange that literally no one said anything about "hermaphrodite". (educated) people don't use that for people anymore. has been some time. though i gotta say, don't much like the "new" terms for any of this shit either. kinda lame
Horsemonger
MemberHermaphrodite is the biologist's term for dual sex. Both male and female at the same time. It's the technical term. Educated people use it all the time.

Member'Educated people' really don't, when referring to people - but plenty of armchair biologists do. Hermaphrodism is a subsection of the intersexed tree of presentation, representing a very narrow presentation of genital organs: it literally reduces the subject to genitalia, so it's been phased out by people who know what they're talking about.

BlockedYou're both right. It is a biological term and it is rarely used for humans. As long as you arent talking about human animals it's plenty in use. eg, some species being simultaneous hermaphrodites. Biology is NOT human centric and people always assume it is when they get in slapfights about trans people.
It's the same reason it's stupid imo to bring up gender in animals unless you're just trying to say that something isnt inheriently "unnatural" or whatever (like with homosexual behavior in non human animals), like "but that snail over there is neither male nor female and birds dont have xx for females and xy for males" you're not a snail or a bird, you're a human and these are specifically part of the biological differences between snails and birds and humans.

MemberSocial media users can't understand context.
In furry porn context, talking about the genitals is pretty important. Hermaphrodites are valid.

MemberMmmmm glad to know some people would still find a way to shit on each other even over a pic on porn site
