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.

Blockedleast they found out so that he wont be groomed anymore, but sadly the pain is permanent, when he gets older will he be strong and forget about this or will it haunt him? only time will tell, hopefully hell be okay :c

MemberI know what you mean-
TW: Repressed memories, regret, guilt, all that jazz.
For me, what happened implied to my therapist that I was being groomed at the time, so she asked questions and such and I told her and then some time after the police came to my house. She alerted them because she felt I was in "immediate danger", which is reasonable. Sorta hurt me heart a little though, feeling like she betrayed my trust. So they came over, right, into our house in the middle of us eating dinner. They were just like the cop in this post, all reassuring and such. All it did was make me feel bad. Felt like if I opened up then someone would go to jail because of me. They deserve to rot in prison for life. But I didn't want that on my conscience, as he was always so "nice" to me. So, the police recorded my statement, and left. But that fucking low-life convinced me to not submit the evidence. Just wanted to move on, forget about it- but I kept on going back to him, even after all that. I have screenshots, proof of the photos they sent, and I know what country they live in and yet I haven't gotten the guts to make that report. He even admitted to doing things IRL with minors, I-
Y'know what, this comic's kinda made me sorta wanna really see this guy locked up behind bars. But, aaa-
