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!

MemberFor what?

ModeratorAccording to some random website it's People of Color, which.. doesn't make sense. I get they've been excluded in things for a long time but that doesn't mean they need to be represented in absolutely everything.

Social media is the reason why the world has become shit recently.

Blockedare you implying that black and brown dok't fall under the rainbow, which is has been for ages a symbol to represent every color and, in this case, every people?

MemberMan I'd honestly feel terrified for saying that but yea I agree. But, wouldn't that mean the same for the lesbian flag that represents people of color too?

MemberMe being a gay person of color (African American) I don't mind to be honest. I don't think the other guy was trying to sound racist... But honestly it doesn't need to be there in my opinion.
I love Risim
Member抱歉,但是
在第一眼看到它时我以为这是北洋旗(中国曾经的一个政权)
Sorry, but
When I first saw it, I thought it was the Beiyang Banner (a former regime in China)

MemberThat would be only relevant to those who choose it, plain and simple. Pride and making pride flags *should not* be for one person or organization for that matter to gatekeep. Even if others don’t recognize your flag out of ignorance or even malice, it doesn’t or at least shouldn’t detract from the meaning you take from recognizing it. There ought to be no pushback on this or any other pride flag variant on of all places, e6
