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!

PrivilegedHmm, does Bill_Cipher need an disambiguation? *edit* I guess not. bill_cipher -alternate_species -dreamscreep -re-yyyyyy
BTW, if you create new tags, you really should add Wiki entries and change category if characters.

MemberI want... I want to stay optimistic
But everything indicates that it is very likely that it will be the end of Death Battle
Well... It was very very fun while it lasted.

MemberYeah. The fact that they uploaded the Wiz vs Boomstick Death Battle Cast…. It’s not looking very optimistic all things considered.

MemberThe main issue is that WBD isn't trying to offload it (contrast RWBY).
At best we'll get a Zero Punctuation/Fully Ramblomatic situation, where the specific show is dead but the concept of it jumps ship to another venue with the same creators. Since Singer clearly doesn't want to end it this would be the least-legally-messy way to do this.

MemberI deeply appreciate that Homelander is getting bodied again in this image. :D
