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 know what ? Not my thing, but I understand. I completely get why someone would draw that. God speed daleport996.

MemberThat's the best response. Not my thing either, but I understand it's a helplessness/degradation thing, and is no less odd than my own tastes. Kudos friend. ^_^

MemberThey didn't even bother to throw the trash away, like dude it's literally right there. smh.

MemberI appreciate what you two said. It's not everyday I see indifferent comments about my stuff that are understanding.
To be fair, a person shaped recycling bin that might or might not be alive is kinda creepy. I wouldn't blame them if they don't want to touch it with a 10 ft pole. Let alone put stuff into its eye socket.

MemberDUDE congrats on finally getting this approved, I know you were worried about it from the blips.
I've been worried before about my posts not being approved in time and "niche" content is usually the stuff I worry about the most - but they've never taken THAT long for me so I can't imagine the dread...
In my head I go "approval isn't a popularity contest... approval isn't a popularity contest... approval isn't- BY GOD MY POST HAS -1 UPVOTES AND +1 FAVORITES, they're going to PERMABAN ME"

MemberThat's a feeling I'm all too familiar with, but never gotten used to, lmao. My earlier posts usually took about 10 something days to approve, and the wait on that is already stress inducing.

Memberwhy does the cans bin have square holes and not round?
Daleport996
MemberI was gonna say I referenced recycling bins in Japan where they have different shaped holes. But now that I look back at them, plastic should've been square, while cans should've been round. Good catch.
