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!

MemberWell... It was a symbol of fertility and (i think) prosperity before a certain Austrian made it what it is today...
It was widely loved until that point in time and history.

Membernow if we rewind time over 100 years, people wouldn't be offended by this symbol. It a shame really

BlockedFunny enough the Iron Cross Had nothing to do with the Nazi's, I mean it was their military symbol, but it was around way before the Nazi's. The 88mm was the size of German's signature cannon shell known for long range distance, and heavy penetration, plus it was highly accurate. The Swastika is also a Hindu Symbol for peace, The Nazi's just used it in their rampage tainting it in a bad light.

MemberHitler got his swastika from the Norse, who's symbolism often represent layers of intent. The symbol is a sun wheel, a bindrune incorporating Sowilo, the rune for the sun and victory. It could often be found in the decorative timberwork on farmhouses, in erections of branches lashed together in their fields, calling on the gods to nourish their crops. Ironically enough, neither Baldr or Sunna, both representing the sun, were known for hatred or violence.
