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!

MemberWho tf be downvoting a chikn nuggit animation XD
Healthcat
Memberpeople don't watch the video for context so they assume the author's transphobic
Amethyst~
MemberProbably because it’s counted by people as political and people don’t enjoy politics on their porn sites. I’m not choosing either side though but I’m sure it won’t go well as all posts like this generally go in the comments.

MemberThere is a looks like a some downvoting "raid" going in past few days. I keep seeing numerous absolutely random themed and quality artworks been downvoted in bulk by like 2-10 users, as well as the comments under them.
Maybe just some pissed off wannabe-edgy kids brought their friends.

MemberYou're effectively the guy this animation is mocking
OhNoASin
MemberI personally downvoted this, not just because it feels forced, but more because it feels really out-of-character to see a Chikn Nuggit animation talk about politics.
Edit: I just wanna clarify that the political part isn’t that it’s about transgender people or non-binary people, rather it’s because the random dude at the start isn’t really specified to be anyone, meaning you can easily assume the least charitable interpretation of what they’re supposed to represent. And since they’re against non-binary people, the least charitable is usually most cisgender people. This is why this video is political, as well as why the message feels forced.

BlockedIf I can be real for 5 seconds. I'm all for trans people, but if you say their pronoun out of content even once you're the scum of the world. Can yall just tell us your pronouns in advance instead of make us guess to see witch one will trigger your or witch one is correct. I like how people be like "well YOU could just ask" but no, I'm not gonna remember to ask all the time. it's up to you to also inform me of your pronouns... two way street. I'm actually annoyed that pronouns are even this important in 2022 it's made communicating with people 10 billion times harder than say 2015 when I could say the wrong pronoun, you correct me we're still friends and we move on. Now a days it's you call me "wrong pronoun" blocked, banned and cancel cultured. It's not ok what people are doing to people these days. I want 2015 back not this confusing "oh you're confused, get cultured or die" mentality that people have in this lopsided generation.
Before I end this rant I just wanna reiterate I accept trans people, but I just cant stand pronouns and how divided it has made society in 2022. even non-binaries, back in the day they careless about what pronouns you use towards them, but now? NOW? it's the opposite. If you don't call me "it" or "them" I will send you to the darkest pits of hell. Like what where did that reaction come form :/ I'm just I'm just exhausted over all this stuff we gotta deal with on a social level. End of rant and again I just had to get all this frustration out of my system

MemberNope, the guy 2 posts above you literally nailed it. Politics on a porn site is annoying. That's literally the reason. It tempts people to come into the comment section and spew their political takes when noone cares.
bitWolfy
Former StaffHow is this political?
I've been a part of the LGBTQ community for about 12 years now.
I've never had anyone lash out against me for not using correct pronouns. Usually, they just correct you, and move on. Sometimes, they don't even bother. Same thing with deadnames, really, although that is a more sensitive subject for some.
Literally never had someone "block, ban, and cancel culture" me because I did not magically know what pronouns I should use before talking to them.
Now, insisting on using wrong pronouns after being corrected is going to get you kicked out.
And rightfully so.

MemberI suspect those who treat it as the end of the world when you get it wrong once are actually just the vocal minority. I've met nonbinary, trans, and even cis-but-androgynous people before, and they always are understanding if I get it wrong or need to ask (again).
Hell, I'm Cis-but-androgynous from behind, had some people call me miss. They aren't doing it out of spite, just out of accident. I'm not going to hold that against them.

MemberMy opinion of transphobic people who hate other people for just trying to be themselves: "Savages, savages, barely even human!"
Zorthax
BlockedSee? Can't even grasp the point, has to simplify it in a manner that's incorrect to rationalize it.
Even if I came out clearly and said, "The fact the whole thing is made into a hypocritical juxtaposition, or in layman's terms, they're doing literally what he's talking about in a meta format, proves the reasoning of the individual of which they mock." You'd likely still try to simplify it the same way, ignoring the fact its validating the point just like the content.
The right answer to those people is to ignore them. Understanding is fundamentally wrong if its only understanding those you like, and choosing to misunderstand those you dislike intentionally.

BlockedBut its pride month! We should be super supportive of the community even if it goes against the wishes of hundreds of people, ignore the fact its prevalence is already so accepted that companies literally monetize the fact through rainbow coloring, and that its practically an officially recognized month long holiday celebrated arguably even more than Black History Month! If you tell people to chill out with the support, they'll just call you homophobic and ignore the fact they have over achieved their goals and are reaching towards consequences.
There's a reason the majority of gay people I've met IRL hate the LGBTQ+ community, and by extension, pride month. Its gotten to this point where you're at risk if you don't support them, which means those who support them will be put at risk by those who are sick of being put at risk. I'm fairly certain this exact mentality is what actually led to the creation of the KKK, for the record, a shift people weren't happy with but given no choice but to follow due to either personal or legal risks. I mean, the amount of businesses that have been torn apart for choosing not to support the homosexual community should've teed supporters off against the overt support, at this point, just support the individuals cause the group can't really be targeted anymore anyway, least not without major consequences.

MemberI think I can guess the joke!
EDIT: nope.
Zorthax
BlockedOh, uh.
Short version: IRL Homosexuals, possibly the actual silent majority, are beginning to hate the pride movement due to their many failures of basic human decency and morality, as well as those who staunchly ignore said failures and support them anyway, despite the very obvious negatives that will get in exchange. Also I got reported for that statement, but I both stand by it, and declare it an inevitability, specifically violent hate groups coming about to cut the abusive congregations down. Who, for the record, would be placated quite sufficiently if pride parades, groups, and projects would filter who gets in so they don't keep having child molesters, large amounts of them, among them, since that's usually the most common mass hated offense.... Just a thought.

MemberNgl, he do be having a good point. Better regulation for this stuff would be nice. I hate it when I say "yeah I'm bi" and people imediatly think that. It's not their fault that's what they see
EntropyDiscord
BlockedBut that is their fault? I shouldn't be guilty for what someone else does, even if they used my group as a tool for it, its not like we're scary as a community or anything. The LGBT are here FOR the LGBT people, after all we're still oppressed even now here in most of the first world, our shows that represent us get canceled like Owl House for example, nevermind the fact that its so heavily supported as a show that it made Disney tons of money, and still sell merch even after the show has been canceled. I mean, unless most big businesses make more profit to frame the LGBT as oppressed so they empty their wallets more for those that represent them, but that's crazy. I mean, after all, most of the biggest websites have strict pro LGBT rules, like Reddit, Twitter, Youtube, and so on, we had to fight for that by implanting strict members of the LGBT on those platforms. Sure, big companies like Amazon for example will outright fire you for speaking out against the LGBT in even a remote capacity, but praise you for praising it, but that's just because they're progressive. many large work places are following suit, but that doesn't mean we're growing too big that we need to be concerned with how seriously we're treated.
We totally don't have the power to regulate ourselves, we can barely control the very vast network that already clearly supports and profits off of us, whom go out of their way to follow our whims and only antagonize us by cutting off support to what we're passionate about, and then framing it as not being supported from within. I can't imagine we, as a community, are constantly being manipulated at a large scale, because that absolutely and totally would not explain a massive amount of conflicting details between these many giants of both internet and business.
I mean, if such large and many corporations and internet websites were that motivated to use us, that would imply there were many individuals who could come to the same conclusion for nefarious purposes....
....So yea, in short, I agree with you, there really should be some form of regulations and critical thinking going on. Especially with how tribalism-like fellow members of the LGBT tend to be, I've personally noticed a distinct treatment difference when LGBT members think you have a bias towards them for whatever reason, they act like you're misguided if one of the LGBT, unless you become an actual threat to LGBT influence, then you're someone worthy of insulting. Highly recommend the more rational members of the LGBT try it some time and see what I mean, pretend to be outside the LGBT and critique it, see how different the response is.
