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.

MemberWe definitely need some more art of this adorable smeargle, the're too cute.
Smeargle is such a criminally underrated pokemon, they need more love.

MemberCuteness aside
Glasses dont fit all people the same, they have to have the lenses made specifically for people based on eye tests.
If this were realistic that smeargul would have even worse eyesight than before.

MemberWell, it's certainly possible, though highly unlikely, that the trainer and the Smeargle had a similar level of vision loss and so the glasses could work perfectly.
