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!

DragonRanger
Former StaffGuys, this literally is not an MLP character. The animation featuring her was made by a former Disney animator who just did it for the hell of it.
Elser
MemberHe was a former Disney animator? Dyou know anything else about em, saw his videos and was really curious to know his background

MemberYou are right of course, but that brings up an interesting question. Going to play devil's advocate and ask, what does this mean for fan characters in general? Like there's a lot of unofficial art/animations made with people's OCs that get tagged MLP/Hasbro that have as much to do with it as Athena does.
