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.
Further information on the bill itself can be found at the Free Speech Coalition: https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2112/

MemberI'll choose to ignore the idiot comment, but only cuz I know how heated some people can get over the tags since I do from time to time as well. But really rally, how am I supposed to know that those rings are portals, and not just pretty display suction cups or something? Remember the site rule is "not what you know". And honestly even if they are portals, I didn't know.
Theclarinetist
Blockednow your playing with portals!
kajowwojak
Member1: Portal Annex, re emphasis: Portal.
2: The portal over my characters crotch, then sticking out of his pocket.
3: As the owner of this image, I can say that this is, without a doubt, Gay, with all of those dicks being real, and in portals.
FenrirEX
MemberKaj, you're assuming that just because someone sees multiple things in an image, they're suppose to put together what's going on. Most people on the internet can't string together a coherent sentence. :P
TheHuskyK9
Former StaffIt doesn't matter if you are the owner or not, on this site we tag what see in an image, not what you know. Since it's only one dude in the image and it's assumed that he has many detachable penises, this shouldn't be tagged as gay. We only tag gay when there's two males in the image having sexual intercourse.
FenrirEX
MemberBut what if it says "Portal Annex" above it, making it clear those are portals and not dildos?
kajowwojak
MemberI think that you're trying a little too hard to avoid the 'Gay' tag.
How on earth could you legitimately think that this is one guy with many different penises, when they're all labeled, and further, each character has a tag as an actual character specifically as an individual character.
Further, you're here making assumptions and considering them above the blatant truth of the matter.
On top of the matter: If there is a single guy with a dildo, would that not be considered gay? In this image, we have my character holding two dicks, and licking one of them, which is a very homosexual act.
Finally, given that this is the internet, me being the owner of the image clears up things that are otherwise up in the air. For example: These are dicks, not dildos. These dicks are on the wall via Portal technology, making them not only still fully functional, but technically still attached to their owners.
You can't over speculate that, because that is the fact. Saying otherwise is not what the image is SUPPOSED to show.
With that said, it ends to the bottom line that this is an image that has a gay wolf, enjoying a number of real, live dicks.
This image is completely deserving of the 'gay' tag.
TheHuskyK9
Former StaffNot really, since I'm just following the rules on how to tag
From just looking at it with no outside sources, almost everyone thought that the dude can attach/detach multiple penises to himself and that he has different names for them.
We only tag it as gay if there's two or more males having sex.
Still doesn't matter that you are the owner. Just because you own it doesn't mean you can tag it however you want. Want to learn how to tag on here? Go here. If you have a problem with it not being tagged as gay, you're always welcome to take it down since you are the "owner". You can go here to do so
FenrirEX
MemberJesus, you're a pedantic asshole.
Ryuzaki Tritium
MemberWith the ability to ban users; shut up.
kajowwojak
MemberHusky, lemme level with you.
There is only one person here who missed the memo on these being dicks. And they thought they were dildos. One person is hardly "Everyone".
Second: You tag "Gay" if the image portrays homosexual or "gay" acts. Such as licking dick, which the character is clearly doing.
third: Just because you see the image wrong doesn't make you right. The image has plenty of context clues implying (And as the person who commissioned it, informing you that it is, indeed, fact) that these are portal rings, and real dicks. And on top of that, real dicks or not, its still an image portraying a homosexual act.
Ratte
Former StaffI would not have known anything about the portal whatever had I not read through the comments, and no, the sign on the board did not provide enough context.
The "gay" tag is used for actual dicks, not dildos. Had I not seen the spiel about some sort of portal device, I would have assumed they were dildos.
Tag what you see, not what you know. If you need outside sources to confirm anything in a picture other than a character's name, it doesn't count. If you need some kind of outside context that cannot be readily provided through the image itself, it does not count.
Gay tag stays off.
kajowwojak
MemberSo, giving oral sex to someone through a portal doesn't count?
Ratte
Former StaffAgain:
As in, I would have simply assumed these were all dildos. Therefore, it does not count as that is the assumption without necessary outside information.
I repeat, the tag stays off.
kajowwojak
MemberSo what requires this image to be gay? Do one of the portal'd dicks (Such as the one in his pocket, which is another MAJOR context clue that its portals)need to ejaculate?
Do the Pulse Monitors that are unique to each dick mean nothing?
TheHuskyK9
Former Staffkajowwojak
MemberPretty sure Oral sex is, by definition, sex.
Ratte
Former StaffI will not repeat myself again--
The gay tag stays off. It is assumed that these are not real, rather, they are toys. "Oral sex" with a toy is not sex in the first place, because it is a toy.
The sign does not provide enough context, neither do the monitors. I thought the monitors were stickers or something, honestly.
It stays off, and if I see someone add it they will be given a record for tag vandalism.
That is my final ruling.
kajowwojak
MemberIf you truly must insist.
FenrirEX
MemberAlright, it's your final ruling, I get that. From there, what exactly WOULD this need to prove it, visually? I would really like to know how much proof you guys DO need.
kajowwojak
MemberFenrir, didn't you hear? Mods and admin are above logic, and despite significant reason, logic, and explanation, they're able to decide that something in an image is completely different than what the image shows, and make a ruling based solely on their opinions.
Scakk
MemberCorrection:
"You're playing with portals...CORRECTLY!"
;D
Ratte
Former StaffTwo characters actually doing things without outside information to be necessary. There will not be any proof you can provide me to change my ruling on this image, because it will all be from outside sources.
First off, that kind of attitude will not get you anywhere.
Second, I am abiding the rules of Tag What You See even if you happen to not like what that ruling is. You not liking it won't change the rules, nor will it change my mind.
I know what I see, the mod knows what he saw, and a friend of mine knows what they saw, and without outside information or explanations all agreed that what they saw was toys on a wall.
I'm sorry you don't agree with it, but this is how this site works.
TonyCoon
Former StaffIt was pretty clear to me that they were portals, and it seems like a pretty darn gay image to me...
FenrirEX
MemberAre there any rules regarding disagreements between admins?
TonyCoon
Former StaffIt says "portal annex", they look like real penises/balls instead of just silicone sculptures, they all have names above them, they have life sign graphs, he's got a thing where his penis should be, it's very clear to me that they're portals and real penises. You just have to take a closer look at the image. And therefore it's very clear to me that it is gay because he's licking one of them.
Char
Former StaffNot technically, but admins are expected to discuss things like this with other admins first; we have a chat specifically for it. In the end, the only person who legitimately has final say is the lead admin (currently DarkAngel). That way we don't end up with admins disagreeing with each other on the site, because it's all hashed out in chat.
Jugofthat
MemberBecause you happen to know what portals are. That doesn't mean you should assume that random strangers know all about these games.
For example, I made my initial Bad Dragon joke because I honestly thought those were dildos on display (fastened to a wall) in some development place. While I do know about the Portal series and its basic mechanics, not having actually played them made me fail to recognize those rings as Portal-related.
DieselWzl
MemberI have to politely disagree with TheHuskyK9 and Ratte on what gets classified as "gay" here. TheHuskyK9 keeps insisting that it requires two males having sex. If that were true, thousands of images would no longer be valid under the "gay" tag. A guy solo with cum dripping out of his ass, a guy shoving a dildo up his ass, a guy fucking himself with his own tail, two naked guys wrestling, two fully-clothed guys hugging/kissing. None of these examples show two males having sex (though one implies after-sex), yet they are all examples of images on this site and they are all tagged as "gay". I've personally removed the tag from tons of solo images because of the TWYS rule, but I have to side with tony311 here. Even if the cocks were dildos (I'm not going to argue the context clues), the fact that he has so many and is physically licking one should be enough to flag this as "gay". I don't know of anyone who would consider a male licking a phallus, real or fake, not gay.
Jugofthat
MemberThe ones portraying solo anal masturbation shouldn't have been tagged as gay if they were, since masturbation is only that. After all, pegging isn't tagged as gay either.
Guys frenching each other, however, that's pretty gay even if no sex is involved.
kajowwojak
Member"Tag what you see"
I see a man licking a penis
"That doesn't count, because I don't see that"
I see a man engaging oral sex with another man through portals.
"That doesn't count, because I don't see that"
Just because you see it wrong, doesn't make you right.
This is an image clearly partaking in homosexual activities (And I'd like to let you know you've kinda offended wuffamute in that you're saying that all the extra work he put into this image means absolutely nothing) but it isn't gay because you say so.
This is called an abuse of power.
EDFDarkAngel1
Former StaffThere are two people on this website who can have final say in anything: myself and Varka.
While there is nothing stopping me from arbitrarily settling disputes, such as this, by giving my opinion, I would only do so after it had been discussed within the admin staff. This is what should have happened here.
First off, under no circumstances should you be openly insulting an admin or moderator. If you disagree with their decisions, you may contact me to help me dispute. It is not okay to call anyone a 'pedantic asshole', for any reason.
Secondly, I don't appreciate making disparaging comments about how admins are above logic and can form decisions based entirely on opinion. I agree that may have been the situation in the past, but both Char and I have been working hard to correct that over the past year. Any instances of that happening are individual events, and have been the admin was dealt with.
In regards to the tag, let me be clear: this has not been decided on. We are discussing this in Committee, as it should have been, and we will consider everyone's angles. As always, if you have any constructive criticism, you may post it here so we can consider it as well.
If you have any specific complaints about what was mentioned here, use the report system, or contact me via email/dmail.
FenrirEX
Member...wait, there's a report system? o.o
EDFDarkAngel1
Former StaffYep! Every comment should have a Report button in addition to Respond. Alternatively, you can go to the user's profile and click Report on the bar above their name.
kajowwojak
MemberMay I ask why it is impossible to Downvote an admin/moderators post? It gives them the appearance that everyone agrees when that could very well not be the case)
NotMeNotYou
AdminThat is needed so that our comments can't fall below the threshold to be hidden, to make sure anything that we say will be seen.
We may change the way this works sometime in the future, but we have more irons in the fire that need our attention at the moment.
kajowwojak
MemberI suppose that makes sense, to a degree. I'd try to suggest just making admin votes immune to the threshold (Or give them a threshold of 9999 or something) But if you have more important things, you have more important things.
EDFDarkAngel1
Former StaffBoth are good suggestions. I know we've touched on it before, and if I recall, it's not terrifically hard to implement, we just need to know what we want to do with it.
Peekaboo
PrivilegedThen the tagger was incorrect, those do not get tagged as gay on here.
Me, and pretty much any person familiar with sexual roles, fetishes and orientations.
I don't become gay by taking a strapon up the butt, nor sucking on a piece of plastic shaped like a penis.
Peekaboo
PrivilegedThat sounded more hostile then it did when I read it the first time.
Also, Rupert is best penis.
kajowwojak
MemberThough try to be considerate of the flip side:
"Oh, you're not gay, you've just got a fetish for penis"
I'm not going to say that enjoying dildos makes you gay, but it shouldn't automatically make it not-gay either.
But what I'm trying to convey is that these are not dildos, and there's not one, not two, but three separate indicators to this: 1, the name "Portal Annex" indicating that they're using portal technology (And not knowing what Portal is doesn't make everyone else wrong, it makes YOU uninformed)
2: The heartbeat monitors
3: The In-image example with a portal over his own shaft (And sticking out of his pocket)
I wish to apologize for being a dick earlier, but the bottom line is that these are not dildos but actual dicks, and there's more than plenty of context clues in the image itself to not require "outside information" to discover this.
Peekaboo
PrivilegedI weren't arguing against ya, just correcting you on the things you said about those examples.
I actually agree with you, this would be something I'd tag with gay.
ArtSkunk EsmeBelles
MemberExcept the "portal annex" could be the name of a store and this could be a complex display shelf. Just cuz it says portal doesn't mean it proves anything, just keep that in mind.
As for the ring over his own shaft, the way its drawn I see a large black area under it, reminiscent of clothing soooo, yeah it doesn't quite say oh hey my Dick is in my pocket.
since the admin made a ruling I have no intention of disputing it anymore.
