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 don't really understand surrealism. Give me Renaissance, give me impressionism.

MemberGoing to uni wasn't a mistake, because now I understand a reference made in furry porn site.

MemberI don't see anything "surreal" about this...looks more like an illustration in a veterinary textbook. If anything, this is more in the realm of "photorealism".
And I agree...canine cocks rule!

MemberIt’s surrealist because of the text, which is a reference to “this is not a pipe”
The concept itself is to make a point about how the work is a illustration of an object and not the object itself.
“This is not a dog cock” is playing on this concept, as it’s not a dog cock it’s a digital illustration meant to represent one

MemberIt's funny because when Impressionism first surfaced, the Academy snobs derided it as not 'real' art.

MemberIllustrations in veterinary textbooks usually look rather... unsightly.
This, however, is pleasing to the eyes~

Memberoh no! I don't study French! I meant that I'm familiar with the "this is not a pipe" original picture because one course about media and representations used it as an example.
(I studied French in junior high-school for 2 years then quit because my pronounciation was bad... and because of that number you mentioned, lol)
