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

Generational gaps do become quite the thing in the DragonScape, between the 1st generation and their offspring, the 2nd generation, and eventually the 3rd generation.

Having that sort of fundamental disconnect of knowing or not knowing the prepulse world tends to create rifts in various aspects of life between the older drekir who knew of that old life, and the newer drekir who only know the life they live now. It hasn't been enough to upend the societies built up thus far, but there is definitely a generational rift.

Particularly in the Great Lake with the Winnebagons, the War of the High Lake Tail is broadly seen as a failing of the ideas of the 1st generation drekir of various factions and, with the 2nd generation taking charge of fighting that war, has led to a larger independent cultural identity that has begun growing from the younger drekir who have started to take the reins of the culture

    wait so hiker lost all their memories of the old world? hoo boy…

    Even if Imua still had her old world memories, by the time she arrived into the DragonScape (136 years after the Pulse), the concepts of Twitch and Krogers would probably at best be relegated to niche history books about late culture in the Americas before the long decline of the 21st century.

    Its important to remember how long such concepts were. Even if for the 1st generation drekir like this one in this chapter, it only felt like decades ago. For everyone outside of the dragonscape almost a century and a half have passed since that incident.

    "People used to live here!"

    People live there now.

    They live near the shrine, but not in the shrine I think is the difference
