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!

BlockedFrankly, I consider it a benefit. Give me a comfortable t-shirt and my favorite ripped-up pair of jeans and I'm straight for the day, maybe even the whole goddamned week.

MemberHoly crap this is 100% true. Go into any clothing store and the women's side has all of these intricate styles and fabrics. For the men's side it's all some cosmetic variation of t-shirt and jeans. Though any problem is instantly negated by the fact that men's clothes tend to last longer AND have actual pockets.

MemberSocietal norms are dumb, skirts are better for men than pants are, too.
I suggest people to try it out, don't need to consider it crossdressing, some skirts actually look great with male attire, try pleated skirts, will help hide your stuff without needing underwear, too.
