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!

MemberThey’re also all 16 (If the same age as Leto) and aren’t fully mature yet. So while it’s not a mature thing to do with her situation; he really doesn’t know any better.

Blockedwell were about to find out how asexual she is.
im thinking shes just really unhorny.

Blockedyea, im really mad at Howl rn, he did not care about anything else she said and only about the part about Howl wandering how it feels and then pushed on that. like what the fuck Howl..

MemberRight. Because you had your sexuality figured out for the rest of your life when you were 16.

MemberWhile it is possible for someone to not realize their sexuality until a later age, Sam has considered herself Asexual since Page 22, when they all were much younger. Howl should respect her boundaries.
However, Howl is also not in any position of power over her, and doesn't appear to be coercing or forcing her to engage in sex. If she decides to engage, it is her own decision.

MemberYa'll assuming they're having blatant sex when it could just be something experimental and harmless like a handy.
Tbh, I think if Sam at least wasn't willing to at least try, she wouldn't even be doing anything of the sort. I'm not gonna call Howl a bad guy here off the bat, he's not "taking advantage" of her, he has no power over her at all and she can literally walk away seeing as he hasn't pressured her not even in this page, it seems more like they're just seeing how it goes and that's it.
Sam's ace, but she also engaged on her own choice, maybe and likely out of curiosity, maybe she just wants to understand just why people like the thing. Experimentation's not a bad thing (Or it usually isn't, just has to not hurt someone), and I doubt Howl's doing it out of some selfish desire.

Blockedi mean, they are underaged- that makes it bad enough i feel like
ogtariq
Blockedwe think he is taking advantage or something because of how all he cared about when Sam was literally was to let her know what it feels like, if your friend was crying about a situation that happened wouldn't you help your friend and give advice on said situation, not "hey want a handy?" not only that but if Howl wanted to let Sam know how it feels, then why did we see Howl make a sexual noise, if he wanted her to know about it, why would he be feeling stuff to? thats just my thoughts, and I'm still heavily disappointed in Howl.

MemberVery good point.

MemberAs someone who is actually asexual, I just want to point out that your sexual drive / attraction to people doesn't mean you're incapable of sexual pleasure. People need to break this mental box that "asexual = I am incapable of sex".

Blockedoh i dont believe its about incapability, ive just always seen it as "nah that aint doin it for me" to pretty much every sexual thing.
like asexuals arent incapeable, just really not into it as much as most.
just really hard to quantify an evolutionary and biological trait as unneeded to a group...
