News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    I would totally agree with you if the world of these two lived in follows any of our laws of biology.

    Not really though? The risk is like 4% for the first generation of incest compared to 2% for 51st cousins.

    You do realize how common incest is amoungst animals, yes? They are more likely to produce a healthy litter than say if these were humans. My dog is an incest baby and the only thing wrong is he has extra toes. But that's just common in dogs.

    You could not be more wrong here. Most mammals practices incest avoidance. Domestic dogs is one of the few exceptions because their strong association with humans for survival has eliminated their need for strong parental investments and thus allowing them to breed promiscuously.

    FYI, your example of your inbred puppy "just" having an extra toe is literally an example of why inbreeding is BAD. If one generation of inbreeding already produces unwanted phenotype, imagine what negative genotypes that may affect its health might also be inherited (that you don't know about yet).
