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!

MemberNo, not it's not.

MemberTechnacally that's very far and away from being a reasonable excuse. It's usually a great idea for the uploader to add as many tags as they can prior to posting instead of relying on everyone else to post 95 percent of the tags for them.
You've posted, that's a great start, now take some good classes on tagging! :3

MemberIf the author doesn't personally specify, flat-chested characters like this with no visible genitalia should always be tagged ambiguous. Exclusion by assumption is bad.
TheGreatWolfgang
PrivilegedThat's the second time someone posted that link to me.
Anyway, I was joking about that #tagme tag, that's why I added in myself.
TheGreatWolfgang
PrivilegedJust checked, the post on Fur Affinity did specify she's a female in the keywords section.
ippiki ookami
Former Staffmale tag added
TheGreatWolfgang
PrivilegedWha? They said it's a female.
TheHuskyK9
Former StaffWe don't based the tags from the source. We tag what we presently see in the pic. I agree with ippiki
TheGreatWolfgang
PrivilegedWell, that's odd and inaccurate.
Meh, what am I gonna do?
TheHuskyK9
Former StaffNot really. For example, if an artist uploads a banana and he says it's an apple, on here we are not going to tag it as an apple just because the artist said so. If someone wants to see an apple and they get this random banana out of nowhere, that's not what they were looking for. TWYS is the most accurate way to find what you are looking for.
TL;DR If you see a banana but the artist say's it's an apple, you tag it as a banana.

MemberI see a female, actually. But i'm not gonna go against the TWYS rule and get blocked instantly.

Memberwell i think it's kind of ambiguous
TheGreatWolfgang
PrivilegedOh.. Ok. This kinda reminds me of the Hello Kitty Species Tag Incident. Some people said that Hello Kitty is a human girl and not a cat, I even pointed out that we should put what the people think about it.
Thr creators say that it's human, but we say that it's a cat.
It's the same thing, right?
TheHuskyK9
Former StaffLiterally everyone denied or joked that she's not a cat. We are still tagging Hello Kitty as a cat because she has the appearance of a cat.

MemberI have changed the tag to ambiguous_gender, because male genitalia is not visible, and it could be a flat chested female.
I think this is the fairest observation.
