Up and Coming: Arizona ID Age Verification Law places E621.net and other pornography sites in AZ on razor's edge.

Imagine having the news broken to you by E621.net, a furry porn website. E621.net (click here to see furry porn lol) has a disclaimer covering today's topic: how the state of Arizona is balancing on a knife-edge as the Governor contemplates whether or not to Veto this ID Age Verification Bill. E621.net is an archive of furry porn that is fiercely moderated by its community of nerds who dedicate their spare time to finding, categorizing, and tagging countless pieces of furry porn for quick queries by potential consumers. Featuring a blacklist and virtually every possible type of furry and furry-adjacent pornography you can think of, E621.net is potentially the most "slice of the internet" a furry porn website can get, and its controversies are many.

You're gonna wanna read-on from here. I'll link the two relevant articles and a PDF I have about Arizona's current Bill and the broader problem here:

  1. Yesterday April 1st 2024, Bill goes to Az State Governor
  2. February 2023, Bill enters first drafts.
  3. (edit)Project 2025, which is the GOP's Trump/Christian Nationalist Theocratic Agenda.
  4. I'm watching for the next Media Release Kate Hobb's organizers put out online in a Legislative Action Update. The present bill HB2586 was not listed in her most recent action update.

CW's: U.S. Politics, Policy, Grim Portents and discussion of Pornography online. Also, SFW Content, NSFW Blog. Thanks, let's go.

[April 3rd 2024 Edits]: Small revisions for readability, extra linking, and clarification of my conclusion so that it's less "welp we're about to get murdered lol" and is actually what I meant to say... plan for websites you like to go offline.

Even if it got vetoed, if it got this far in the process I guarantee it's gonna go through. Sorry guys, I hope it doesn't come back after a verto, but we all know how this country operates.

I am a autistic, pansexual, TRANSGENDER GIRL, artist living in the USA, which is going to be a Nazi country next year and I have zero escape from the worst case scenario. I've been robbed of my entire life and it's not going to get better, and I don't want to live to see it get worse

This will be what actually makes old-internet-style spaces impossible, by the way: A hobbyist running a forum for modding some game they like cannot afford a drivers-license verification company's services. Hobbyist-run websites would just get priced out of existence.

sorry, im about to say something rude to you and i apologize for it but i saw this post on the global feed a few days ago and i just need to get this out of my system.

im looking at the three top level replies of this post. if your rhetoric is making people feel so powerless, what was the point of you saying anything at all?

when you post about what happens if the GOP wins without mentioning at all what happens if they don't, barely even mentioning the possibility that they don't win, when you do this, you paint our world as a death trap of suffering and misery where the end to everything you know and love is an election cycle away and there's nothing you can do about it. i find this assessment not only extremely counter-productive but just straight up factually incorrect.

if you want my speculative opinion, the idea that we're all going to die is not some natural, non-biased original observation that people independently form about the state of things. it's an attitude handed down to you, originating from probably a century or so ago, maybe even longer. it's an attitude that serves to deceive people into believing it's impossible to change the status quo. it's an attitude people should reject.

it's late and i have a headache and im probably going to regret speaking up about this but. bweh. sorry.

im sure you're a cool person btw and i mean no ill will i just get kinda worked up about people responding to news stories like this with nothing but doom and gloom

I reached out to the person in question and did not get a reply. I'm not willing to make their pain a public spectator sport, so it was handled as privately as possible via a comment on an older, similarly expressive post of theirs.

It isn't my job to do this blog, but I do it because it matters to me that the information is presented. I'm the sort that prefers to know when a gun is pointed at my head, I bring a certain intensity to any place that I occupy which harshes people's vibes exceedingly well. My understanding of the clinical data is that people who are not in crisis but are entering one should have resilience training and not simply positive thinking emphasized to them. It certainly helped my former patients more.

However you cannot build resiliency in people who are in crisis, nor can you anticipate just who will be in crisis when they chance upon you. I saw at least one other user comment on the person's post that I left a reply on as well, and have left the comment public in hopes others will reach out to that individual via their page. I don't want to stifle the chance for someone asking for help to get it, and they can choose not to get it from me.
