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!

MemberIndeed. "Stranger" as in the song "Welcome to my nightmare" should play along with some pics.

So your argument is basically...

MemberLike the other guy said this is probably bait but just in case you're serious. This is porn on a porn site.
No one cares about the politics we're just trying to escape reality for a bit and Jack off. Piss off back to Reddit with that moral grandstanding.

MemberYou are making the mistake of assuming that people jerking off on e621 are good people.

MemberWell let me toos this out here. Yeah it COULD imply transphobia.,, but does it always. Like I would say i would get very triggered by hateful people at work who called me 'fag'.... but, if say i was involved in an intimate sexual game with a straight macho guy who wants to dom the 'girly fag' then maybe its kinda appealing to get called that. In bed sex is a heavily nuanced power game, and it looses its magic if you try too hard to justify it or psychologically analyze it. So unless the artist was activley trying to make a political statement (which i doubt given that theres an alternate verson where Slappy IS intersexesd) then i think that it would be a fallacy to try and scrutinize every tiny detail or statement for hate and bias. Like some wise gamer feminits said "you can enjoy problematic content, just you have to be aware of why it is problematic and know its not a thing you should impose onto an entire minority or cultural group.
