FANZA Follows as Next to Suspend Visa Card Payments
Japanese adult websites have been suspending the use of Western credit card companies left and right, and the latest to do it is DMM subsidiary FANZA, which dropped Visa card payment support.Here's an excerpt from FANZA regarding the suspension of Visa car...
yakuza worked for decades to keep cards out of japanese life. card transactions are traceable and controllable. cash isn't. for being such an advanced country in so many ways, almost everything was cash-only or anonymous RF card up until the pandemic (suica or pasmo, it's like a prepaid debit). then many places in japan started taking visa/MC during the coof.
the dumb thing here is that this sounds like it's being framed as the sites dropping visa/MC, when digging deeper it sounds like they got dropped for erotic content. but it's not just any erotic content... i doubt those stopped working on OF and all the other porn sites.
it's because so many of these japanese sites have anime child porn. and as much as some specific people in KiA want to act like that is legal, there are plenty of jurisdictions where it's illegal.
This is a slippery slope of idiocy. Fake is fake. Unless you think fake murder should be banned. Bye bye vidya.
Where in reality burning, stealing and invading is "arguable" but muh fake drawing is bad because 'think of the children!!!'. Meanwhile real children from the island..... get memory holed with epstein.
Stop chasing fever dreams, and start pouncing on actual pedos and their enablers in capitol hill pride parades.
Canada actually used to have a law that banned any and all depictions of "crimes in progress", which technically banned even Batman comics and stuff. It was never enforced; I think if it was used at all, it'd just be one of those tack-on charges the prosecutor can easily drop during plea bargaining.
I don't think it exists any more; before Trudeau went full-blown retard, he did do the useful act of trimming some of the fat out of the Criminal Code.
Dude look at the guy's username. Just downvote and move on. He's trolling.
sexualizing children is still sexualizing children.
are you defending sexualizing children?
all pedos deserve the bullet.
Murdering innocent people in a video game is still murdering innocent people in real life.
Are you defending murdering innocent people?
yes, taking out terrorists or nazis or zombies is exactly the same as sexualizing children...
You seem to have forgotten that you aren't on Reddit here, retard. That "anime CP" shit is just a way leftoids try to get anime censored. Either by "localizers" or at the source, out of fear of censorship. Take your pro-censorship bullshit and GTFO.
Yes, but also no. There really is a subgenre like that over there, which some use as an excuse to go after the rest, even though the vast majority contains no such thing.
Which is why I oppose all of this censorship on GP. This is just an excuse for them to turn anime into the same degenerate propaganda, that most western media is now. They made this painfully obvious when they referred to stuff like "Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!" as CP. Anything with a female character that isn't a troon is heresy to them and it makes leftoids and their masters seethe.
Considering the homie up there immediately went to the "why are you defending sexualizing children" you can see this exact slippery slope excuse play out in real time in this very comment thread.
Because that's how it always goes. First they pass "common sense" parts because nobody likes pedos enough to risk defending them, then the bar for pedo gets lower and lower until any woman under 35 without sagged tits from 3 babies is "pedo shit."
But it's not new is it? I wonder what changed...
opposing child porn is not "pro-censorship"... it's anti-pedophilia.
this is exactly the shit i'm talking about... KiA users bending over backwards to defend child porn. oh! it's animated! bruh, it's still the act of sexualizing children.
Have you seen what anime leftoids refer to as CP? You've fallen for their bullshit, hook, line and sinker. It's just a bullshit way leftoids use to get their foot in the door to push censorship and retarded faggots like you are helping them. They don't give a fuck about "anime CP" and most of them are likely pedos IRL.
are you paying attention to the groomer shit? leftoids are the ones sexualizing children.
are you really defending sexualizing children?
Yes and every time I headshot someone in GTA I'm advocating for sniping innocents in real life. GTFO out of here with that retarded leftoid logic.
keep bending over backwards to defend sexualizing children. this is why people mock the KiA community... this is not the hill to die on.
Censorship of content you find to be abhorrent is still censorship lol, everyone tolerates speech and artistic expression that doesn't offend them.
Hentai involving lolis and shotas is absolutely vile, foul, repugnant, depraved, degenerate, abominable, cursed, ungodly, demonic, vomit-inducing, etc. But it's nonetheless a victimless crime, unlike real CP which involves the raping of actual children.
If you mow down a bunch of civilians in GTA, you're not a murderer. But if you mow down a bunch of civilians IRL, and film it, you're still a murderer. Same principle applies to hentai involving kids, or to porn with adult actors that roleplay as kids, or porn involving rape and murder roleplay, even the most atrocious fiction is still fiction.
again, there are tons of laws criminalizing "victimless crime". why is bestiality illegal, but branding, caging, inseminating, and slaughtering animals is not illegal? please enlighten the crowd for us...
There's plenty of actual depictions of minors in anime/manga pornography in Japan. Not everyone who condemns that is left-wing.
Do you really think the censorship will stop with "loli/shota"? Obviously it won't, because the goal is forcing anime to bow down to ESG bullshit. The left are mad that people have found a way to avoid their propaganda and now they're trying to turn anime into the same bullshit. They don't seem to realize that they can't force people to like troons or other DEI bullshit, but their programming makes them think they can force the issue.
I have conflicted feelings on the question of whether everything immoral should be illegal. I don't know the answer.
You can condemn something while also being wise enough to understand that "banning" something that vague won't help, and will make things significantly worse.
One of the big separations of Left/Right used to be that gap between "make the government fix it" and "keep the government out of it, let the people fix it."
Why have the card companies just noticed? It was ok with them before for some reason.
Japan shouldn't have to enforce international laws any more than we should bow to the UN or EU.
sure, but visa is still an american company that must abide by american laws
In America, not in Japan.
the processing of the transaction legally occurs in america. none of anything you say here is going to change this... this issue has been litigated to death and there are no new points you can make that will change it.
America has the 1A and SCOTUS has ruled that loli/shota hentai is constitutionally-protected speech you inbred low-IQ mouthbreather.
no. that's a specific provision under obscenity charges. there have been multiple convictions upholding it since, you low IQ mouthbreather.
