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!

MemberCriticizing his art is one thing but it's kinda shitty to make unsolicited edits and post them without permission, and that seems to be why they were removed.

MemberI definitely understand your point, I just don't agree with making unauthorized edits of any artist's work for anything other than personal use. But at the same time that's partially because I'd say it's better to tell the artist how they can improve rather than just editing their art, and in the case where they won't listen to criticism like that there's really not much you can do.
Either way thanks for clarifying!

MemberI actually prefer your edit a bit more. Artist that refuse to let people edit their freely released work /criticize them give me bad vibes. Idk much about this guy, though.
Curious that your comments are deleted
