It is 100% targetted at gen Y and Z males who dare to wrongthink and consume problematic media.
It's not about the nudity, it's about making Jap products - uncontrolled by the marxist woke - less accessible. Expect to see more of this type of policy as western media continues to lose its audience.
China does hate Japan, and porn. But I don't know how much influence China really has over Ebay when it comes to something like this.
Ebay is primarily a Paypal market. Paypal hates porn because Paypal pinky swears to the banks that its transactions aren't for porn. It has to do this because the banks arbitrarily view adult content as "high risk" business, and impose fees that amount to a tax on anyone selling porn.
The continued pornification of society means that the porn pie keeps getting bigger and more delicious, and so the banks are turning over more and more stones looking for more areas where they can get a slice of the pie.
THEY are behind banning porn THEY don't own. THEY did not invent porn but THEY own the current Western porn industry. Which THEY use to push the most degenerate fetishes like cuckold, femdom, interracial, etc.
I'm not against porn, not by a long shot, but THEY controlling the porn in the West is part of THEIR agenda.
And before I end this post #NotAllOfTHEM. It is mainly a very few rich elite THEM. Though even just saying it was rich elite THEM has gotten one of my posts removed here. People can be very oversensitive about the subject of THEM, even if someone is clearly talking about just a small bit of THEM.
Note though that while the jews are behind pornography, there is a "final solution", and it's to just stop watching porn. It seems to me here that God is saying, that if you don't quit watching porn of your own volition, I'm going to make you absolutely sick of it. That he's providentially going to help ween gen Y and Z males off of coooming.
China loves porn. probably more than half the illegal jap porn I dl is from chinese file sharing sites, have to use google translate
maybe not officially, no... but Chinese millionaires are famous for hiring groups of top class japanese porn stars to "entertain" them at special events.
Sola Aoi is one of the most well known "celebrities" in china.
Weeb shit won't last much longer, Funimation is already sitting on a few board of directors of companies that produce anime. They (as of yet) can't do shit about manga but they can partially influence cut content and censorship of anime.
They actively seek it out, the American weeb community is FULL of wokesters and leftists. The religious right making a stink about kids anime like Pokemon in the 90s and early 2000s drew normie leftys into the fandom because counter culture and also brought in the leftists who think watching Samurai X was culturally enriching. Hell, I remember Nazi accusations against the creator of Full Metal Alchemist because the people in military uniforms and perpetrators of Ishbal massacre were the good guys, it was ignored and mocked back then but now we're here.
The “gotcha” moments and braggers of anime’s quality I’ve seen pop up over the past year were MUCH more than they ever were in the past.
It’s disingenuous to say “it was always like this” when the number of these crazies interested clearly multiplied thanks to both sides’ screaming and yelling. Instead of the quiet gatekeeping our side should have done.
It WAS always like this, these retards didn't just spring out of the ground in 2014-15. People just started listening to them instead of saying "go back to Tumblr/LiveJournal" after they pretended to be normal, infiltrated EVERYTHING and became the majority. See the old Skeptic community for how that works, specifically Kraut, Jeff and Memorie Holiday and Shoe. Pretend to be allies, infiltrate, gain a following and get power (mod and admin positions) then start making minor changes to rules that the majority agree with (racism bad etc) then slowly make more authoritarian and ideologically driven rules.....It's Rules for Radicals and Communist manifesto 101.

Sounds like helping someone with a drug addiction by offering them all the drugs they could ever want. Even if they don't die of overdose, they're going to hurt themselves before they get bored of the stuff.
Human beings have free will, and yet God is not willing that any should perish. We disobediently took of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, developed an addiction to sin, and yet God offered us salvation to us through his son Jesus Christ.
It's definitely going to be selectively enforced. Things they approve of will either be explicitly allowed or they'll be conveniently "mistakenly overlooked".
The fuck is with all this puritanical faggotry as of late? You just know it's going to be selectively enforced to get rid of the things they personally disapprove of.
I think we're going to see a lot of moves like this, and yet again it will come out to be Mastercard behind it and all the individual businesses are just being blackmailed.
So in other words they're banning anything that looks like a cartoon and might have sex references in it. This probably includes shit like Gundam models as well.
I can't help but think this is related to western 'artists' crying that people would rather buy Asian stuff that isn't censored and isn't preaching to them.

It is. There a reason Funimation pushed to get their people involved in the anime process in Japan and now have a few of their cronies sitting on the board of directors for a couple of companies that produce anime like En'en no Shōbōtai aka Fire Force (notice the pervy jokes involving Tamaki were inexplicably absent in season 2? Now we know why.)
Ebay is just the worst shit, I used to sell games on there but it's a nightmare these days for sellers and now they've gone puritan, it can't die fast enough imo.
Hilarious... ebay hasnt been relevant in the past 10 years. Interesting how they can afford to be woke. I doubt all the hipster leftist will flock to ebay.
I guess it's type of media specific. I buy loads of stuff on behalf of my boomer relatives because they can't into tech but haven't been burned once because it's all stuff like old postcards, tchotkies, old movies and shows (like, 1950s and 1960s old).
This isn't quite their "tumblr moment", since they do have a huge market of everything else, but buyers and sellers are just going to move to rakuten or something. They're hurting their bottom line for no good reason. It is amazing how irrational corporations are these days.
Well looks like buying directly from the source, suruga-ya and zen market are still viable. Until CC companies decide to decline transactions from sites known to sell that kind of stuff while citing anti scammer and fraud protection....or they force Japanese companies to bend the knee to their demands.
On some level I knew this was going to happen, but it still pisses me off. sigh I'm glad I have a 3D printer and a regular printer since I can just make my own figurines and posters. Dunno about manga, but I think there are some specialty sites where you can order them.
Yeah this feels targeted and i bet even among those that are banned is still also gonna be policed selectively

You also forgot to mention that China HATES Japan, so if anything I suspect it has more to do with that.

tl;dr version: Jews.
No, it's because Mastercard will terminate your ability to process their transactions if it's against the matriarchy's will.
Ask the porn sites, the wrongthink political figures and everyone else they've done it to.
The Jewish mind is female.
We're talking about the VP of Mastercard, which is more relevant.
Wait so Jews are behind porn, and also behind the banning of porn? Got it.
No.
THEY are behind banning porn THEY don't own. THEY did not invent porn but THEY own the current Western porn industry. Which THEY use to push the most degenerate fetishes like cuckold, femdom, interracial, etc.

The banks aren't the one's banning it. Ebay is banning it, possibly to appease paypal, who do it to avoid paying the banks.

Yeah, because it's illegal in China. That's the only way they can access it.
Weeb shit won't last much longer, Funimation is already sitting on a few board of directors of companies that produce anime. They (as of yet) can't do shit about manga but they can partially influence cut content and censorship of anime.
Maybe if we stop pushing weebshit in the wokes’ faces as a “gotcha”, that would be better for everyone.
Gatekeeping them by refusing to back down from your love of fan service would be nice too.
They actively seek it out, the American weeb community is FULL of wokesters and leftists.

People just started listening to them instead of saying "go back to Tumblr/LiveJournal" after they pretended to be normal, infiltrated EVERYTHING and became the majority. See the old Skeptic community for how that works, specifically Kraut, Jeff and Memorie Holiday and Shoe.

That said, early 2000s were pretty good. 2007 was the beginning of True Eternal September. It was before it was important enough TO infiltrate.
I feel so bad for youngsters, who will never know freedom from September, for they were born in it.

You people are the reason feminism is so strong.
We warned you so many times about promoting marriage as their real value declined, but you kept pumping up their fucking egos.
It's definitely going to be selectively enforced. Things they approve of will either be explicitly allowed or they'll be conveniently "mistakenly overlooked".
Wth?
Playboy/Penthouse is pedophilia, according to the MJ prosecutors. Ebay confirmed kiddy fuckers :^)
The fuck is with all this puritanical faggotry as of late? You just know it's going to be selectively enforced to get rid of the things they personally disapprove of.
Can't think of a single reason why companies are erring on the side of safety on this.
Why am I being downvoted for pointing out that Mastercard's VP is a feminist?
probably people didnt read the article. you weren't very explicit before the edit
Fair point.
I think we're going to see a lot of moves like this, and yet again it will come out to be Mastercard behind it and all the individual businesses are just being blackmailed.
Here are a few more reasons. Cairns is in the second row.
And another one, someone from the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth (at the bottom of the image) is mixed up with associates of Lord Mark Malloch Brown and Sir Ronald Cohen.
So in other words they're banning anything that looks like a cartoon and might have sex references in it. This probably includes shit like Gundam models as well. I can't help but think this is related to western 'artists' crying that people would rather buy Asian stuff that isn't censored and isn't preaching to them.
Because it is.
It is. There a reason Funimation pushed to get their people involved in the anime process in Japan and now have a few of their cronies sitting on the board of directors for a couple of companies that produce anime like En'en no Shōbōtai aka Fire Force (notice the pervy jokes involving Tamaki were inexplicably absent in season 2? Now we know why.)
Ebay is just the worst shit, I used to sell games on there but it's a nightmare these days for sellers and now they've gone puritan, it can't die fast enough imo.
What's a growing alternative? Would like to have a similar site to use / support
eBay is a pile of shit.
I've heard of Amiami, but not the other 3. Thanks!
Hilarious... ebay hasnt been relevant in the past 10 years. Interesting how they can afford to be woke. I doubt all the hipster leftist will flock to ebay.
Probably a desperate bid to regain some relevance. A lot of these fading sites try wokeness to make a comeback and fail.
I guess it's type of media specific. I buy loads of stuff on behalf of my boomer relatives because they can't into tech but haven't been burned once because it's all stuff like old postcards, tchotkies, old movies and shows (like, 1950s and 1960s old).
I pretty much just use ebay for books and maybe some old gaming related stuff.
Porn prevents OnlyFans whoring from being more profitable.
Feminists spent decades dehumanizing men to make them accept that they deserve to be treated like shit unless they pay.
Combine the two.
I've literally used Ebay once. Ugly website, mostly filled with scammers, don't know why anyone bothers.
So for the pragmatists among us: What's the alternative to eBay that we can make use of?
Stop using Mastercard so this shit won't happen. That would be more useful.
"It hurt itself in its confusion!"
This isn't quite their "tumblr moment", since they do have a huge market of everything else, but buyers and sellers are just going to move to rakuten or something. They're hurting their bottom line for no good reason. It is amazing how irrational corporations are these days.
Probably didn't want a PH-like Mastercard blackmail saga.
Well looks like buying directly from the source, suruga-ya and zen market are still viable. Until CC companies decide to decline transactions from sites known to sell that kind of stuff while citing anti scammer and fraud protection....or they force Japanese companies to bend the knee to their demands.
Living in the worst timeline
Worst timeline so far. Worst timeline so far.
so they went full tumblr
ebay competitors rejoice
On some level I knew this was going to happen, but it still pisses me off. sigh I'm glad I have a 3D printer and a regular printer since I can just make my own figurines and posters. Dunno about manga, but I think there are some specialty sites where you can order them.
cui bono
I use ebay a lot but have been looking for a good excuse to stop. The fees and favoring buyers over sellers have gotten out of control.
Anime turns people into gay trannies, burn it all
