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.

MemberTags regarding character lore are marked with the (lore) suffix, and I've added and readded them as the character is by lore gynomorph. Lore is not an acceptable reason to add normal tags, something that is quite clearly stated on multiple rule pages.

MemberI promise you that misgendering someone's oc is not as important as you think it is

MemberThere's no call for disingenuous interpretations; this has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with visible image contents. The TWYS policy is stated here and its reasoning explained here, and further guidelines for gender tags is found here with the following very clearly stated:
