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!

MemberIs it bad that I support the dark party on this? I mean we read the comic, there's clearly psychics messing with things

MemberI don't think so, personally. I mean. Fucking up someones head, possibly permanently, is kind of a big deal. Just because it's not as visible as a physical beating doesn't make it not real. Sucks that it comes back on psychics, but I figure others' right not to get mindraped trumps protecting their feels. Heck, even not being sure if you *might* have been tampered with could be seriously traumatic whether something happened or not.
Presumably any place expecting a lot of fire types has extra extinguishers, extra grounding for computers around electric types, waterproofing for water types, antidotes on hand for accidental poisonings... Dark types working the registers isn't ideal, but there aren't a lot of good ways to do the verify half of 'trust but verify' on someone who could tell you to trust them and not leave you a choice.
If anything Beheeyem is even more of an asshole for destroying trust in psychic types than he is for how he did it. That's gonna cause a lot of stress and trauma all around.

MemberDARK TYPES FOR LIFE BOIS!
Also, The Whole thing with Chatot saying that Beheeyem might have did some shit to get that exception, fricken thought the same thing.
I think we can all appreciate Grimart for making Darkrai a Good Boy, like in the Movie, or Pokken, and not a bad boy, Like in Explorers of Sky.

MemberLol, Remember when Miracle Eye was an actual move?
Nowadays, Psychics just Cheat by always packing a moonblast.

Memberwhat if all of this was set up by the dark party in order to get rid of the Psychic party? If this was all a political stunt to get the Psychic party and give them a reason to go to war? The bottom line is, I feel Beeheeyem would not have openly went out into an open arena and cheated like that when they knew there would be dark types around to immediately oust them unless getting caught like that was deliberate. I feel he was hired on by the dark party to take the fall and make the Psychic party look worse.
AngelTea
MemberThats an interesting theory, but why would Beheeyem agree to such a thing though? They would be the one to suffer the most out of anyone if the dark party took over after all.
Endor-7th
MemberTrue, but perhaps the Beheeyem is against the party for reasons... Plus at this point they're probably what would be considered a terrorist, at least a criminal by now.
Kaydrien
MemberWell... his brain isn't.
Perhaps
MemberFeel bad for the psychic types, i mean, yeah you technically can use your powers for bad, but as the same time you can also use them for good, and it's not like it's a situation they had any choice in, they're just born that way, but i guess that racism, or "typeism" or something, can be a thing in pokemon
Vrayber
MemberYeah, world building :)
