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.

    Probably because it's too transparent. Hot water looks more.. steamy? At least, it's not as prestinely clean as cold one; more particles flowing around.

    I don't want to be the nerd here, but as water gets colder, it's more preserved since the molecules aren't moving around as much. That's why you see cold natural springs with really clear water, and hot natural springs with more opaque water. Since the molecules are moving around trying to evaporate, and potentially mixing more air in. Like when you boil water.
    That and the use of cooler colors also shows a much colder scene. The way his skin is almost a purplish blue hue triggers our brains to see him as he's freezing, since we tend to go pale when cold. Unless I the case of hypothermia, which from this being gradual as you get in the bath, this probably wouldn't happen.

    Hopefully that helps!
