I got the email about this just the other day, I've bought quite a few things on fantia so this is starting to be a pain in the neck. It's almost disturbing seeing financial pressure like this given how much a potential loss in revenue it could cause for a business unless they bend over for whatever these companies are asking for. It's a domino effect and will probably only get worse.

Although it's ultimately more a Western problem than anything, since native Japs still have ways around it. I'm sure the withdrawal of two of the biggest foreign credit cards from your service is still a notable financial hit either way.

You forgot Gumroad removing all adult content and VISA canceling processing for NicoNicoDouga of all websites, which has never had adult content. Those happed within the last month as well.
These payment processors and banks are scared of the Japanese and are organizing against their online media companies, which is completely illegal, and they're doing it because they don't control them. They're watching their media hegemony crumble and their Hollywood companies start to crack because of woke bullshit, and so now they're desperately trying to prevent people from spending their money on Japanese media instead.
I seriously hope each person working in the board room of these companies recieves two bullets to the base of their skull as well as their families.

China severely limits the amount of money that foreign companies are allowed to take out of the country. In order to operate a foreign business in China, you have to go through a chinese-owned middleman who is given 50% ownership of the operation there.
The majority of the foreign company's take is then prevented from leaving the country by chinese commerce laws and so they are forced to reinvest their own profit into the chinese controlled side. Eventually, the chinese side demands access to the foreign company's trade secrets and technology, after which, they expel the foreign company while justifying it through some kind of manufactured scandal while invoking nationalistic sentiments by accusing the foreign side of "hurting the feelings of the Chinese people".
The chinese middleman then continues selling the service or product under their name, now fully owned by them.
This exact process has happened countless times. It's literally China's business strategy.
Chinese are snakes and anyone doing business in china is a fucking idiot.

This is not a problem exclusive to Japan, it has been going on for years but it kicked into overdrive lately because of twitter "activists" aka hall monitors directly tweeting at VISA and Mastercard about people generating realistic AI loli content and then getting paid for it using their services.

Mastercard and VISA are colluding and targeting Japanese online media companies, which by the way, is a tort interference and extremely illegal under US law.
DLsite, Getchu, Gumroad, Pixiv, Fantia, NicoNicoDouga, DMM, Melonbooks, and others have all had their payment processing stopped within two months of each other. That isn't a coincidence. These companies need to bring a class action against Mastercard and VISA for tortious interference and possibly conspiracy to commit anti-competitive practices by showing these payment processors have financial stake in these Japanese companies' competitors.
There is literally no reason that ALL of Japan's most successful online content platforms were all targeted and hit at once by both companies other than collusion. There isn't anything on these platforms that is illegal under US law and all of it can be found on American websites which still accept payments from these processors without issue. This is especially true for Japanese sites like NicoNicoDouga which do not host any adult content whatsoever.

It makes no sense why two companies that should be competing against each other would both alienate a market at the exact same time in tandem. Who stands to gain from this? what is the big win supposed to be? It makes no sense but I agree that it seems extremely illegal.

This is just a blatant abuse of power, it's scary to think the world's two biggest credit card companies can decide to work together to effectively kill any business they don't like by killing support for the way 80% of people pay them. I really hope this issue gains traction in Japan because it is unironically a super scary future we're headed towards.

Seems like this is making a bit more of a stir than the previous episodes, I guess the reality is starting to hit them now that this weird credit card crusade is beginning to hit even more websites. A lot of them are complaining that this is nothing more than America exerting it's influence as a hegemony to try and destroy Japanese identity/culture, while others think this is just going to drive Japan into being a more isolated economy if it it keeps up. They seem pretty pissed about it.

One of the more interesting posts was talking about how they thought the courts wouldn't go against it due to the fact of how powerful credit card companies are. But apparently you can still make purchases with Paypal using toracoin if you really need to.

The reality is a bit darker when it's common knowledge most pornstars, male and female, are jacked the fuck up on drugs to get them through shoots inadvertently creating a system where the only way to get your fix is to keep doing porn. Almost all routine pornstars are addicts and it's common to hear people who retire from the business complain about how they're essentially exploited.

But no, think of the feelings of the drawings and MMD models. The reality is bullying overseas Japanese websites is easy brownie points to show investors and business partners they're upstanding, righteous companies with little actual impact to their financial bottom line. Actual porn is a much more lucrative business and they'd probably face huge domestic backlash if they tried to crack down on anything that's actually meaningful.

With JCB and numerous other local payment platforms, it really isn't that much of a hurdle for people within Japan, no more than Costco's partnership in the states requires Visa over Mastercard. JCB market share in the country is on par with Visa and above Mastercard. Even without a JCB card, other local platforms can be used fairly easily, like PayPay or LinePay.

These blocks mostly fucks over people outside of Japan. Nevertheless Japan should probably investigate or pass legislation to prevent these kind of blocks, especially when they are being done in tandem with each other, though the end result of that would probably be Visa/MC Geolocking most platforms based within Japan to Japanese issued cards only.

Why the hell is explicit "content" even a valid reason to block people from being able to buy things they want with their own money? That shouldn't be legal, especially since Visa/Mastercard are essentially a duopoly, they should be a subject to much more scrutiny.
Unless you are buying something that would be illegal to buy in cash there should be no grounds whatsoever for them to pull stunts like this and it should be heavily penalized if they still try.

In the US at least, there has been a trend to expand liability to payment processors with stuff like Know Your Customer laws, which give plenty of cover for rejecting transactions based on perceived risk. Additionally separate from that, you have cases where payment processors are being sued for the actions of others, such as an active lawsuit against Visa by Pornhub because of the actions of Pornhub.

Beyond all that, it doesn't help that US obscenity laws are vague so there isn't really a clear line as to what explicit content would be legal if challenged in court, and that there appears to be an increase appetite in the US to both attempt to apply obscenity laws more broadly and in the near future to test the courts to see if they will permit more extensive content restrictions under the excuse of obscenity.

FWIW, this affects Western companies too - or as much as you could call an eastern yurop company a western company. nearly any time a VR porn movie - Japanese, American, eastern yuropean, doesn't matter - has disappeared from one of the biggest premium sites for that stuff, it has been because there's fucking alcohol in it and that somehow creates an issue for "payment compliance". that came straight from the horse's mouth too.

I saw this coming back in 2014. Otaku/doujinshi culture and independent creators were not destined to survive globalization. Someone getting by financially via their own art in a niche space is completely anathema to how WEF goons want the world to look like by 2030. The western world at large does not recognize the value of freedom of expression on an ethical level, it's all been replaced by safetyism ideology and concern over "hate speech" so there's no one left to petition.

it's not the Illuminati, that's for sure. There are many powerful anti porn people all over the world, (and they're not all jews)
From literal neonazis, commie SJWs, politicians, billionaires, probably even the vatican, all different organizations that for various reasons want to eraricate porn (or use the anti-porn mentality to gain power) and are slowly managing to do it, and that's because they're ironically getting ignored because people like you prefer to believe in some shadowy monolithic government that's somehow controlling the world, which is an incredibly unpowering thing to believe in, because instead of thinking that our problems are somehow fixable, we're doomed from the start and forced to so what the secret Illuminati reptilians want us to do.

It's not just Japan dude, western sites like PornHub, Gumroad or Patreon got hit first. I'm a porn artist and got banned from patreon because one of their mods believed that my fictional characters weren't consenting, but I can't even blame it in Patreon, their rules got scriter after MasterCard pushed them to do it, and without MasterCard they'd go bankrupt, this is the reality. In Japan the porn industry is still huge, even just making porn doujins and selling them at conventions sound like pure fantasy here in the west, but yeah, it's getting grim with the huge anti-japan online campaign that's going on lately, and this whole credoc card companies thing.
