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...
it’s a shame Japan doesn’t have its own competition to the visa/mastercard duopoly
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
