News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

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.

Description

Zenchi leaps forward from her seating position, in between Ithaca and Roseland. She grits her teeth and balls up her fist, immediately ready for whatever the bounty hunter may throw at them, “Damnit...gonna try and bargain with me again?” She reiterates that she won’t be going down without a fight, “Listen, I'm not giving myself to you for some kinda bonus.” Roseland, surprisingly, corrects her, “Relax yourselves. This time...I'm not here for a fight.” Taken off guard by the unexpected turn of events, Ithaca does a double take, “Wait, huh?” Roseland casually walks past the duo and takes a seat near the campfire. Unlike their previous duel, she merely wanted to talk, “Just listen to me.”

Roseland looks up to the starry, sparkly night sky as she finally explains her story to the duo, “Allow me to apologize for my prior actions. You see, I'm a bounty hunter, and a job is a job. Whether or not the cause is just, it's how I make a living and stay afloat. You want to know why I do this? Well, I was orphaned as a child.” She goes on to confess the heartache that had burdened her for over twenty years, “My birth family saw me as a curse and exiled me. My own flesh and blood. I was taken in by the rival house of Hakusai, which...wasn't an improvement. They wanted to meld me into a "proper lady" just to bolster their own image, but...” The leopard took a brief pause as she stated her true intentions, “I wanted to be my own person.” Roseland had finally shown a sign of understanding Zenchi’s and Ithaca’s actions. She could no longer deny the obvious truth once it was laid out in front of her, “I was given the mission to bring in the Hero Of The Lands, and how could I turn it down with such an immense bounty on the line? But the more I learned about your actions, your cause, your sincerity, for the first time...I began to question my own.” And then, she offers a sense of redemption, “I...did some thinking about what you said, Zenchi. About true justice. I know what I'm doing isn't justice. But I...” She hesitated, conflicted with herself on what to do going forward.
