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!

Have fun correcting over 50% of these.

MemberBelieve it or not, those all fit. An American Flag, a Firework, it only takes one small thing to go from "Unrelated" to "Fourth of July." The Eagle, however, does not count towards it.
Also, the way to link to the tag search is {\{4th_of_july}\}. It'll become 4th_of_july.

Just a few examples among those posts that can't be linked directly to the 4th of July celebration, equally to this one from a TWYS point of view (I mean, I'm not saying you're dead wrong in that respect).
For the link to be undeniable in a TWYS way, a picture needs at least some fireworks and/or a celebratory text, preferably both, and if those aren't there, then AT LEAST someone holding/waving the flag (but then it's still pretty ambiguous). There's a whole bunch there missing all three.
This pic has an American flag.
Sure, it's in the background, but combined with an eagle that already makes it at least as July 4th-related as Applejack standing in front of that same flag with a loaded rifle, and also on par with some hyper-titted fox again in front of a flag background while wearing a Murrica-themed bikini, and Desi's fat ass doing a parody of the Uncle Sam army propaganda posters. That's not very 4th_of_july either, just America-themed.
Or how about this?

Just the Stars and Stripes bikini, not even a flag of any description.
So, no, if this isn't 4th_of_july, that definitely applies to a good few of other tagged posts too.
Thanks, but I'm quite aware after having spent as much time here as I have. Just copied the whole URL to the search results there because... ehh, I dunno? :V
Anyhow, it's not necessarily "the way" as you can see. Just the most tidy.
