This is just being more open about a policy that has existed for years. Hopefully this means a rival service can facilitate what Visa refuses to allow.
I honestly wish. Not sure about the laws in Japan, but the US has built laws to wall in the main three (Visa, Mastercard, Amex.) You would need the US government’s blessing to start a rival card company that can transfer between Japan and US.
What about Discover? Yeah laugh if you want but they're pretty mainstream now and are part of the JCB/Diner's Club network that has been popular in Japan for a long time.
I'll laugh more if this is the opportunity Discovery needs to become a major player by filling the void Visa leaves.
It's widely accepted, but I see it as part of the oligopoly.
You'd also need to convince some banks to bother playing along.
YOu can issue a credit card, directly. I don't think that's the problem. But I don't know what you're saying exactly. Yes, at some point the banks would have to play along. Repayments, I guess, since most people pay their credit cards via bank account. IDK how open that is.
If you are gonna make it any harder than paying visa you may as well take crypto, though, or even some kind of wire transfer they will probably let you do.
......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!"
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..
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:
No children is being sexualized,. Ink on paper is not children.
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.
