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!

MemberSeriously? This is the shit that gets approved?
No, Dr. Seuss was not cancelled. There are hundreds of Dr. Seuss books that are still being published. The company that runs the Seuss name stopped publishing SIX books which were problematic because of racist depictions.
Yes, WB shit the bed by removing Pepe le Pew, and Lola's redesign is controversial. Nobody gets hurt by them being what they were, but "cancel culture" is not a thing, unless you include all of it, like the attempts to cancel D&D, to cancel Magic; The Gathering, to ban Mortal Kombat, to censor books like To Kill A Mockingbird, to say that "the cancel culture is coming" is entirely fucking political, and this is not a political site.

Blockedlets list Bugs Bunny's offense's - cross dressing to seduce, lying, manipulation, impersonating a person of authority (game warden, police officer, ect.) attempted murder. burying animal/person alive, counterfeiting (hunting signs or hunting permits), breaking out of jail and that just the tip of iceberg.

BlockedA lot of people like Pepe.
That is nothing compared to Elmer Fudd, Sylvester the cat, and Yosemite Sam. Oh and also Wil e Cyote.

MemberPepe is literally just a walking rape joke and has been outdated for more than a decade by now

MemberThats funny because they didn't remove Bugs for all his old racist cartoons 7 decades ago. They just stopped airing them. Writers can't improve the characters rep, because people wanna stay stuck on old as dirt slapstick cartoons. In recent years he's barely chased Penelope. Hell any other time they are paired up like a couple.
