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!

MemberIs it a trace from Chayason?

MemberNot sure who or which picture you mean, but looking up this "Chayason" he is described as a kid who is known to trace and copy art, so it seems likely it is the reverse of what you say.
That, and I don't want to imagine that Sorc, one of my favorite scalie artists, would trace art.

MemberSadly the image they’re talking about is from 2019, not likley unless its a purposefully misleading signature.

BlockedMe, I'm just hoping the poor girl survives the encounter.
It's like watching someone trying to cram a watermelon into a golf ball scrubber...

MemberExcept, if you look at the tags for this picture (and the source), Sorc originally posted this in 2018, so yes, it still points towards that Chayason traced this picture.
Also, yikes that Chayason picture is a downgrade.

MemberI posted the original image to Tumblr back in 2018, so that 2019 image from Chayason is a trace of my work.

MemberHello Sorc and sorry for having asked that. I thought that the pic you posted on Twitter was recent.
And yes, that "Chayason" guy's trace is really a big downgrade compared to your art (which by the way is one of my favorite Kobold-theme ones).

MemberIt's all good, ginkei!
People are recovering older artwork from Tumblr and I really appreciate the work they put into archiving everything.
Horny salt
MemberThanks to furry logic she'll survive
