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!

MemberNaylor's intersex characters are always the best! Love the way he portrays them interacting with other characters in his worlds. <3

MemberDoes Jay still do work? I do miss original Life.
Heroic
MemberHe's still very much active - but he doesn't maintain a significant social media presence, and most of his current work is locked behind Patreon paywalls (which, to be fair, is perfectly fine - a man's gotta earn his daily bread). He's out there, if you want to find him.

MemberI like this couple, but the big wolf should be on top

MemberProbably because of the drama.

Memberwhat exactly happened? i never fully understood it
Heroic
MemberI honestly have no idea either. He seems like a pretty conservative/independent guy, so it might just be generic hate-boners from people who can't stand his personal views. Regardless of whatever grudges or bad blood people have with him, his work's always been very solid and enjoyable, at least in my eyes. Hopefully he keeps it up!
CaptainLithSteele
MemberThat's pretty much the gist I've gotten. Maybe he said something once that got someone's panties in a twist and now it's just hate that's passed on and on

MemberShe isn't trans? Did I miss something? Also why isn't she with Aron anymore?
That's a common issue with some artist... But I like the art for the art, not the person behind it.

MemberShe is, I presume they meant it in the catchall e621 tag sense. I also wonder about the Aron thing though.

Memberwhat pun
ginkei
MemberI am still confused about the tagging system of this site.
And apparently she ain't with Aaron anymore as the comic Force of Nature had him go with Trixie
(unless the world of JN is full of exchangism and open relationship as far as I can understand).

MemberSo! Months later, so you may well know by now, but 'intersex' as a catchall is used here on e621 to refer to any character that displays mixed sexual characteristics, for example, breasts and a penis. By that definition, the term also encompasses non-op trans characters like our girl Audrey here. The term is pretty widely used in the furry fandom this way. There are also more specific tags to narrow things down further, such as 'gynomorph' (a character with breasts and a penis, but no vagina), and the trans_(lore) tags to distinguish characters that are trans from their similar-appearing counterparts, since furry art is full of characters with that body type that didn't have to transition to get there.
If you're ever curious about a particular tag, you can click the ? by it for its definition.
And shoot! Don't think I've read that one yet. I liked that pair... ah welllll.
(I also wouldn't rule that out, though. C'mon hit me with that threeway...)

MemberI'm not entirely sure about the way e621 names the tags but I guess it was misstagged at first.
