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!

MemberCucking is mental masochism at best, and just plain abuse at worst. I can see why some people like it, but personally, I prefer to have some control of who my (imaginary) love sleeps with, and I certainly am not into being humiliated. I'm fine with open relationships, but I'm not fine with being cheated on, and there's a big difference.
I really don't like how Kadath's taste in porn changed after his new girlfriend entered into his life. I miss the old times, where it was more about incest and kinky stuff, not just cucking his fursona...

MemberFunny enough, it’s a major turn-on for him

MemberKadath could have Pat say "This is a major turn-on for me" in big bold letters and some people will still insist that he's being abused.
SketchyBug
MemberAiight, there's a lot wrong with this take. Well, aside from the fact that you can just blacklist tags you don't like if it's that much of an issue.
1. Patrick is not Kad's sona. Kad's sona has already appeared in ask pages and is distinctly not Patrick.
2. It's kinda presumptuous to assume Kad's tastes suddenly changed once he got a girlfriend. This is made even more yikes (as if the implication, unintentional or not, that his girlfriend is the reason for this isn't bad enough) by the fact that these themes didn't show up in Kad's work until long after they started dating, so this just makes it seem like you're seeking something or someone to "blame" for what started Kad's use of these themes. Artists are capable of getting into new subject matter of their own free will without outside influence, and for all we know it could've been something he was always into that he didn't start exploring in his work until later on.
3. "I'm fine with open relationships, but I'm not fine with being cheated on, and there's a big difference." Correct, there is a big difference between open relationships and cheating, and what is being depicted here is not the latter. It's kind of a no-win situation because Pat could be wearing a T-shirt saying "I'm into this" in all caps and bold letters and some people will still think he's not happy, or that he's agreeing to it under duress, or that he's brainwashed, etc. etc.
If you're not into it, you're not into it. That is 100% your right, but let's not make things up and portray things to be something that they aren't. That's pretty yikes, fam.

MemberWhen your getting cucked this badly it’s hardly surprising

MemberThank you. I'm glad someone's at least understanding enough to see the art as is instead of trying to make it seem like something far more malicious.
SketchyBug
MemberNo problem. This is something I’ve observed for years now. Thankfully more people are warming up to it but you still get the people making uncharitable reads every now and then.

MemberKadath recently commissioned a romantic pic with nightshade and Markus for valentines day with Patrick not even in the scene.
Make of that what you will.
SketchyBug
MemberHe also had romantic pics with her and Pat in the past, and it’s already been established that Pat consents to Night being with Markus without him around, but go off I guess.

MemberTell you what, you're probably right. I'm probably just disappointed in the turn that Kadath's art took, and I'm probably just looking for a scapegoat. But I can't emotionally get over the change in themes, and I guess that means I'm cursed to believe Kadath was somehow manipulated into becoming the artist he is now. Besides, he apparently just dropped the incest-content because it made his girlfriend uncomfortable. I mean, say what you will about relationships, but I just don't appreciate it when they should have to influence art like that. If someone is restricting you from expressing your feelings in a genuine way, or impeding your work strategy, that's an alarming sign in my book.
But what the fuck do I know, right? >_>
SketchyBug
MemberSo... you admit that blaming his relationship was just you looking for a scapegoat... and then proceed to make another baseless claim about his relationship being the reason he stopped doing incest stuff, then continue to lament about how "relationships shouldn't influence art like that" when you don't even know if that's the case and insist that it must be such.
Not only does it put undue blame on a third party, but it also implies that Kad doesn't have enough free will as a person to make his own decisions regarding his work. Kad is capable of losing interest in something of his own volition, and seeking something or someone to blame for it is straight up not healthy.
"But I can't emotionally get over the change in themes, and I guess that means I'm cursed to believe Kadath was somehow manipulated into becoming the artist he is now."
That sounds less like a Kad problem and more like a you problem, and this is just an observation, but I find it interesting that this is almost identical to the rationale behind the negative reactions to Nightshade. They resort to calling the relationship abusive, even when they see proof to the contrary because they can't get over the change in themes. It HAS to be manipulation or some outside force, because that's the only way it can make sense to people like this.
Likewise, it's not a curse that's making you continue to believe that there's manipulation at work. It is yourself, because that belief is more comfortable than accepting the possibility Kad changed of his own free will.

MemberWithout being rude, you know you can just blacklist it and not talk about it right?

MemberDon’t get your life advice from 4chan, there are a lot of terrible people on there

MemberI’m really not one for cucking stuff, but Nightshade is just too gorgeous.

MemberYeah, thank you so much for expressing my thoughts to this guy.
Also, just a quick note from me - y'all who have problems with cuckolding from side "oh I don't like this stuff because I can't control with who my girlfriend/boyfriend sleeps, I can't control them enough" - look at yourself, there's totally a problem with you somewhere hidden on plain sight.
