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