News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    Gld's comment was basically about how these are classic examples used in psychology textbooks.

    Note that there seems to be two main scans of this drawing, and one has much different blues than the other. Like the color space was different?

    Hmm, actually, I think the alternative version is an entirely different work redrawn by a Pixiv artist. Sadly, said artist was forced hidden by Pixiv. :(
