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!

MemberYou can't expect someone to change their entire art style if they wish to draw a commemorative picture. Furry art representing a national emergency is just as valid as any other as long as it's not distasteful, vulgar or mocking. I find this picture highly appropriate for the situation and am glad to see that artists out there are showing emotion for travesties like this.

MemberI like the image, but I get the feeling the comments are gonna be bad.
Drakanifox
MemberOf course the comments are gonna be bad. They are bad only because they are viewed as bad by the people who keep on wanting to repeat the emotions that were felt that day. Now, if they had a family member or a friend that happened to be involved in the tragedy, then they have full right to be super defensive about the issue.
However, those that bandwagon the issue that keep on telling people to "go to hell" or "go kill yourself" because of making such comments? They do not understand world history enough to know this: Yes, this event may have been the first of attacks on America, but the death ratio is literally mere pennies in account to the other world disasters. Holodomor, Holocaust, Great Chinese Famine, Nagasaki/Hiroshima, Crusades, Pol Pot, Trail of Tears and the Rwandan Genocide. All those events costed over 1,000,000+ lives per account, with the Trail of Tears being a hugely unknown American genocide story, and the Crusades topping it all off by killing/controlling over almost the entire Eastern hemisphere of the globe and running their empire for almost a millennium.
I'm not defensive on the issue, I am defensive against those who put this truth to death and stake their claims above all to get backup from the bandwagon.

Panelledsquid
MemberLest we forget the thousands of people who lost their lives, the men and women who came to work a civil life, only to have it tragically brought to an end in a new York minute. Be strong, Be brave. Justice has been served.

MemberYou'd be amazed to know just how much children are able to acknowledge from their surroundings. I was just 5years old when the 9/11 attacks struck, but I still remember it plain as the day. Despite my parents shielding me from the worst news reports, I and my fellow kindergardeners were still fully aware of the situation, though there were some uncertainity as to what had happened. Back than, we assumed it was just another airplane crash which resulted in large numbers of losses, which further resulted in a national shock to sweep across the nation (Norway) I live in. Only years later though did I learn what really happened that faithful day, but even in kindergarden, I was aware that something catastrophic had occured. Kids may not be aware just by watching the events, but the reactions their parents and other adults make upon hearing terrible news is enough to scare the living shit out of children. So yeah, to be honest, I feel bad for the young ones in the art piece above. Not because they would have to mourn alongside their fellow citizens, but because they would have to endure the pain of never having their questions answered as to what has happened, why did it happen, and why is everyone so upset and down about it. I asked those very questions, but the answers were not given until years later. Nowadays, now a grown up myself, I'm one of only a few that never shields children from the truth. If they ask what's going on, one shall give them the full story, as gruesome as the details are, it's a part of the world and the children have the right to know what's going on.
9/11 undoubtedly remains the biggest hole in my life, because the excruciating psychological pain I went through this period of time because of the lack of information as to what was happening around me as well as watching my own parents and the employees at the local kindergarden stay in a state of shock for several days on end, was the worst pain I have ever gone through.

MemberThese tributes form important snapshots in time, but they're a hindsight reminder that seeking justice through war is really expensive, and questionably just.
Mantikor
MemberAgreed, 9/11 was superb entertainment.
America is still way ahead of Old Europe when it comes to action blockbusters.

MemberThey died. The US military killed their leader..you know, the one we personally trained. Its over.

MemberI wasn't talking about the clown with the long beard, there's still more who have their days numbered.
Syderen
MemberI still mourn those who died and sympathize with survivors (many of them still have nightmares of trying to escape while the explosives combusting left and right.
True, but there's a group of very evil cretins who dictate the world and get their kicks out of destroying innocent lives for their pleasure. They may hold power for a while longer, but their days are numbered and they will face the ultimate judgment, just gotta have a little faith...
MercenaryX
MemberHas it really been 21 years? Man, when the truth finally comes out about all the details things are gonna get really nasty, There's some seriously mind blindingly scary details that are coming out.
