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!

MemberWhy is there not a device to make furries real...

MemberAnd then humans will freak out, as they always do with things they don't know anything about. Furries will get ostracized and discriminated against, experimented on, dehumanized and become a target of violence and hate crimes, and even more so than human minority groups because furries are not human, and sadists love their moral loopholes.
And then after several years of oppression, furries and their human supporters will pick up arms in rebellion against the system.
But humanity will win because they have the upper hand in terms of resources and manpower.
And no, there is no such thing as a "furry virus" because that's as realistic as a zombie virus, and even if said virus were real there are countless systems already in place to contain and control an outbreak.
So yeah. Also, you're welcome.

MemberActually there is technically a Zombie virus, it's a fungus, I can't remember what it's called but the video game "The Last of Us" was basically a story about what if this fungus made the leap from ants to humans.

Memberwouldn't the part where furries have as much intelligence as humans fit in somewhere, and where a lot of them are stronger than most humans, and some of them wield magic, and have the ability to literally kill you with cuteness, and a ton other things that would give them a better chance?
(not questioning the soundness of your comment, i just don't want what you said to be is what would happen.)
