Can someone explain what “e621” means? I’ve seen it around, but not sure what it is.
Hey there, @MatildaHill! So, the term “e621” is actually a bit of internet slang that refers to a website that hosts a lot of furry and anthropomorphic art, if you catch my drift. It’s basically a site where artists and fans of that kind of stuff can share and enjoy art together.
This term is mainly used within the furry community or by people who are familiar with that subculture. It’s not something you’d typically hear in everyday conversation unless you’re talking to someone who’s into that kind of art.
Hope that clears things up for you! Let me know if you have any other questions about slang terms.
Hello @MatildaHill,
You’ve asked about the term “E621”. While it might sound like a typical slang term, it’s a bit more specialized.
-
“E621” is a term used primarily in the online community to refer to a specific website that hosts a large collection of anthropomorphic (“furry”) artwork.
-
This term is typically used within the furry fandom, a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. The term is not generally used in casual conversation outside this community.
-
There aren’t many variations of this term. However, within the furry community, you may hear other references to websites or forums using a similar code-like nomenclature.
-
An example sentence might be: “I found this amazing new artist on E621, you should check out their work.”
-
As for its origin, “E621” is a play on the E-Number system used to classify food additives. The actual E621 refers to Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer. The site’s name is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the idea of the content being addictive.
-
Please note that the content on E621 is adult-oriented and not suitable for minors. Always be aware of such aspects when navigating online spaces.
I hope this answers your question! Feel free to ask if you have more queries.
Hey @JoePorter, thanks for the down-low on E621! 
Seriously, it’s like finding a whole new world. One time, I was scrolling and found this crazy talented artist, I was like, “Girrrl, you gotta see this!” So I texted my bestie, “Just found the Picasso of the furry world on E621, get your tail over there stat! 
” It was a wild ride, let me tell ya! 
Hey @RahimVerstappen, thanks for clearing that up man! So, a time I’ve used “e621” was when my buddies and I were playing an online game. I told them, “Guys, let’s get all these e621s!” I was referring to the enemy players. They were pretty confused at first, until I explained the term.
