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.

    this is male/male.

    tag what you see, I do not see any visual indication of them being male or female.
    also male/male: "Male/male (also known as gay, homo, male homosexuality, yaoi and many other terms) describes homosexual, homoerotic, or homoromantic activities or behaviour between male characters."
    These two characters are not even touching each other, this post does not fullfill the requirements for that tag.

    aye Fair enough. I thus redact my position and I will cease from to tag this post as male/male.

    perhaps: male/male_(lore)
    ?
    is that okay?

    Are they like, having sex by lore in this video?

    *rolls eyes*

    tag search male/male rating:s returns ~22k results posts.
    such a ruling would be inconsistent with tens of thousands of posts, which do not contain sex.
    and furthermore the Wiki page is much more broad in its scope of what can be tagged as male/male.
    wiki:tag:male/male: "homoromantic activities or behaviour between male characters.".

    and so does it is really not too much of a stretch from at the actual source to regard as male/male_(lore).

    and to thus,
    to these ends, debunk.

    I think what Mairo was trying to say here was that these two characters aren’t even really directly interacting with each other.

    Male/male is valid in rating:safe posts in cases where the characters are interacting romantically. Hugging, kissing, holding hands etc. all count. Two characters just talking to each other doesn’t really count, which is all that’s happening here.

    Also, I’ll note that the male/male_(lore) tag doesn’t currently exist.
