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!

Member@ROTHY:
...why do you hate it? Are you saying chubby or skinny people are not allowed at the beach? D:
Next you'll say rape is okay and then your transformation into sexist satan is almost completeeee--eh-heh scratch that >.>'[/sup]@someoneelse229:Gee, calm down there buddy. I think first of all we'd need a definition of what a "bikini body" is, and why/where (mostly why?...) a line is drawn. Then we'll make the insane tumblresque statements. :B
IguanasAreCool
MemberI see.

BlockedMaybe you should've realized that I was being sarcastic BEFORE assuming that my statement is genuine.
Emserdalf
Member@someoneelse229: Huh? I did realize that. If you were serious about it you'd obviously be crying about the "oppression" on tumblr and not here. :v
I guess the other part about the definition of "bikini body" wasn't a direct response to your statement, more of a general "wait a sec..." pondering.

BlockedI like the message to this but what it should say is "every body is a bikini body, but not every body should be a bikini body" i like the beach, i don't mind seeing overweight people there, but god i hate seeing overweight people in clothes so small you can see the disgusting ass, so please, at lease cover up properly, and not clothes that are sized for tiny anorexic people, nobody, or 99% of people do not wanna see morbidly obese peoples asses or anything else revealing

MemberPrecisely. Some people look good with a bit of weight, some look good skinny. Most look good somewhere inbetween. Some shouldn't wear bikinis at all yet they do anyways. People need to learn how to dress themselves for the beach.
