Hi, I'm an e621 staff member. There are no plans to shut down the site, and Bad Dragon (e621's owner) is currently exploring their legal options.
While backing up your favorites is always a good idea, do not fall for fear-mongering posts like this! Wait for an official announcement from us instead.

e621 is now functionally illegal in the state where it's hosted. If e621's owners can't relocate the servers within 90 days, they'll have to shut it down.
If you have favorites on e621, download them now.
If you use e621 as your gallery page, start setting up an alternative.

You rock!!
Makes sense in hindsight .
That's not just 'broad', that's literally all-encompassing 😬
I wanted to do this anyway, before all this news came out, but now I feel a bit rushed to get through it
gallery-dl -D
I know some artists whos older library is full-on lost media because their own backups failed.
That's pretty cool
Anyone could back up e6 posts on their own time and money though
still glad to know the fascists will have to fight to take it down.
but thank you for this clarification! you rock!!
Use their own logic against them! That’s how I like it!
It’s fictional. It’s art.
Do they get upset at movies with gunfights because “oh my god that’s murder!!!”?
If its supposed to look like a child or a 4 legged, non-sapient animal and its being put in a sexual situation. Its CP/Beastiality. Making excuses for it is weird and gross.
(And to clarify im not counting general nsfw furry artwork)
CSAM involves real children and all the damage both societal and individual that entails.
Drawn CSAM doesnt involve real children but does encourage pedophilia which leads to the exploitation of real children/normalizes it 1/2
(Im very unfamiliar with feral tho? So no comment from me. I dont want to make assumptions when im as new as I am) 2/2
