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!

MemberI'm curious as to why you say that. I'm building a list of less than greats artists

MemberI'm guessing they wouldn't do a commission for free.

MemberOr because they decided to have an income, aka a Patreon.

MemberDon't worry, they're definitely going to tell us why, it's just taking them a really long time to compile all the evidence.

MemberI checked out her (Evo's twitter) and it says commissions are currently closed.

MemberHow DARE they want monetary payment for their work! Don't they know EXPOSURE is far more valuable?
I'm being sarcastic in case it doesn't come across as such

Memberit doesnt have to be necessary that, lets not assume things, ive met artists that would shit on my friends because of their views, ban from chats, demonize for criticism, cheat on money because work was harder than they assumed and agreed on in the beginning, call you shit in public, use their fanatic fanbase to chase you on social media, dont enforce chat rules in their discord among all supporters and those who got blind eye laughed straight in ur face because of it
those are my experiences with various creators not EVO tho i was her supporter for short time didnt engaged in her chats tho, im just pointing out it can be anything not necessary commissions

MemberI know I'm a little late to this conversation, but I honestly understand and support artists who use Patreon. Sure, it's admittedly irritating if you can't get everything for free, but if their work is worth it, I'd be more than happy to fork out 10 quid to support then.
Again, I'm a few months late and I can't help that. But maybe someone could add on and share their opinions too.
