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...
no one is going to step in because of what's really going on here.
it's a bullshit smokescreen. visa does processing for adult websites all the time. in all likelihood, visa reached out and said the site needs to remove anything sexualizing children or the contract would be terminated, and the site said no.
and now the typical KiA contingent of anime child porn pedos are out in full force trying to propagandize this into some freedom of speech issue in opposing censorship.
......you do realise you are complaining about Japanese drawings that there has been NO EVIDENCE of them increasing the likelihood of child abuse similar to violence and video games..
...when we have a bunch of Indian handshakes running around extorting the virtues of child marriage and celebrating women being killed for race mixing. A bit of a reality check here..
Don't need evidence. It's all feelings based. They "feel" certain genres of fictional works are dangerous.
Meanwhile Pornhub hosted actual underage rape porn, allowed uploaders to monetize, and gleefully accepted the national card networks without go-arounds like points. No one went to jail, no one was debanked, just a "tee hee, oopsie!"
denounce child marriage you ask? i accept those terms, i denounce that too. those people are pedos and they should be hunted for sport.
there is no circumstance where sexualizing children is okay.
Er, no one but retards and mud dwellers is arguing otherwise.
The point of contestion is recognising drawings AS children, that's getting too close not just to thought crime but that guy that insists his toaster has feelings territory..
It really does seem like this is the one topic that breaks peoples minds and makes them stop thinking rationally. I had been pretty active on PoliticalCompassMemes on Reddit, and they had the topic come up due to that bill Japan was looking at (that was DOA because it barely had any signatures). And when most of the sub said "It is good it wont pass, this is a stupid thing that people keep focusing on needlessly", a few users and the mods lost their fucking minds, declared that the sub had clearly been overrun by "pedophiles", and started throwing around permabans left, right, and center (lead by a mod tagged as "Libertarian Right". Hah!).
This despite the fact that people had argued in favor of far more controversial topics frequently in the sub. It is just so bizarre to me.
you're talking about victim theory. society has long moved past that in both the US and japan.
Sorry, but drawings are not real depictions of people. Art should not suffer the moral scrutiny we give to real life images. Censorship is never okay, and I'll die on that hill.
Would you really? You're an anon on a message board. In real life the pedo accusation even without evidence is so damaging that I doubt you or many people at all would truly stake their livelihood and reputations on this issue. Which speaks to the insidious nature of the opposition's actions here, and the unscrupulous lack of principle in the argument. They take an easy position on the side of power, and fall back to sophistry and word games like "you don't want to sexualize children do you? stop sexualizing children" knowing that's not the counter-argument. Imagine how they would destroy your life IRL simply for having an opinion. I won't argue there's not some perverts here who enjoy anime "child porn", but it's got to be a trivially insignificant compared to all the people who recognize going after drawings is in fact the "bullshit smokescreen" and a wedge issue to exert power.
I almost want to believe from trollin's username that he's intentionally playing the Agent of Chaos to encourage us to think deeper about this. He gives me the same vibes I got from Elon Musk when he claimed the reason he didn't want to let Alex Jones back on twitter was because he once held his dying son in his arms. (???)
While I agree with the sentiment, never die on a hill. I live my life and encourage other non retarded people by this qoute:
sexualizing children is wrong and immoral
No children is being sexualized,. Ink on paper is not children.
if the people buying this shit truly thought that, there would be no desire for it.
indeed
Nah. The communists have been trying to criminalize all drawn adult art because it cuts into their porn industry - which is far more vile and depraved than the adult anime industry itself. This isn't just about sexualizing children.

You using their own words, i.e "KiA contigent of anime porn pedos" to demonize whom they deem 'competition' really doesn't help your case.
