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 should hope this is a horror comic for anyone with a soul.

MemberWhat are they doing, actually?
WhoWillRemember
BlockedUh, this comic appears to be in another pool that I don't think it belongs in?
LuxxyFuxxy
BlockedArtist calls it a horror comic and I'm just sitting here wishing I could get 2 fully detailed pics of my OC in less than a day from an artist for free :(
Copeq
MemberHer oc is stripping his.
lurkmore
MemberI think "grooming" might work in more than one way.

MemberThe number of alarms going off in my head is staggering.
And in the wise words of JonTron:
"I don't like where this is going"
Octophile
MemberSo, wait... I thought this was a real fox but is this actually just a lady wearing gloves and a fursuit head, but the head can show her emotions somehow?
Or is this just how the artist is choosing to portray her but she doesn't actually look like that, and it's more of a metaphor thing?
Genuine question.
Courier
Blockedim hoping actual fox because that means humans and anthros coexisting.
but lurkmore has it pretty right "grooming"/pedophilic activities.
and yet...no one will really see a problem as it seems to be an older female and a younger male.

Member"Wolf in fox's clothing."
Octophile
MemberAs a woman, the fact that sexual harassment and assault is so diminished and so lesser-punished when it is against a male victim -- well, it just sickens me, to say the least.

Memberwith how most of the comments in this thread are i'm glad this idea is losing traction
Endor-7th
MemberPerhaps it's a sort-of interpretation of how Leto see's her? That being a mishmash of her fuursona and her human body?... Maybe? Cause I really have no other explanation for this egyptian god pedophile lookin ass.
Jamiewood500
MemberWell i lost my soul a while ago so... nice
Octophile
MemberI was thinking it may be something metaphorical like that. Like, she is portrayed to us as how she appears to the main character's perception.

MemberAre the black speech bubbles supposed to be the 'warning' language? Because I'm getting that feeling instead of it being spoken in a different tone.

MemberIf nobody sees a problem with it, they're part of the problem. As someone who never told their parents about being in the fandom, and did some questionable things both as a young teen (14+) and as a young adult (18-20), I do hope that future generations are able to be both more open with their parents, and parents more accepting of their children.
I'm of the opinion that the furry fandom by itself is relatively safe for younger members (provided that older members keep things SFW around them), however there will always be those who have no intention of being decent human beings. I do believe that sooner or later, we will need to collectively "rip the bandaid off" and have an uncomfortable, yet serious discussion about the subject.
...I didn't intend to write an essay, but here we are, I guess.

MemberLooks like I don't have one. All I've seen so far was Reth being wholesome and supportive. I wouldn't think about this grooming stuff If it's wasn't explicitly stated in description (In fact, I've just learned what "grooming" means). And since protagonist actually hit puberty even if they meet IRL that could be healthy consensual sexual experience. What's so dark and horror-like about this comic? Except arrogant parents maybe. No-one's getting hurt in any way... well except Howl with his self harm fetish.

MemberHow could you mistake the report button for reply, THEN submit it??? XD
ginkei
MemberOw... this isn't nice to do.
No, it's not that, it's just that there are way more guys doing it
Kutteboisy
MemberMaybe is the fact that she is showing porn to a minor, wich is a crime. If it's not a crime, then is something fucked up anyway
ShrekGotMeBanned
MemberI WILL SIMP FOR RETH AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME
