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!

BlockedThis form never seemed to get much love from the fans, but I always liked it much better then the original.

MemberI think it was the order. I think it would have been cooler if this was his first form, and the first one where he looked a bit stronger came second. Iunno. I liked both for different reasons.

MemberI'm late to the party, but I agree. I initially hated his second version, but it's not that bad after all. Though IMO it's stupid to change styles that drastically out of the blue. Regardless if the new style is better, worse or as good. It's just weird and confusing. And there is tons of style change in history of animation, but I can't think of anything that much drastic. People hate new pikachu, but the older isn't all that different. Jake is literally changing from western dragon to eastern dragon, which are like kangaroo and mouse for example. Completely different species. Imagine pikachu as a kangaroo now... Maybe I've chosen a bit too much different species, but the point remains. Also I won't count the oversimplifying styles, like making the Scooby-Doo gang look ugly or the new Duck Tales being square heads. I mean just change od the style, not simplifying it because of laziness.
