Payment corporations are at it again.Today, Pixiv Fanbox has started to ban 'problematic' contents from "depiction of crime" to "hypnosis".Just recently before this, Clip Studio Assets has also taken down materials that were detected as 'problematic' such as having 'girl in bikini' as it's thumbnail.Japanese are worried this might lead to ultimate suppression of freedom of expression that might lead to the same outcome as current 'Marvel'-ed and 'Disney'-ed western entertainment industry.It's over for Japan.
Amazing that a bunch of authoritarian collectivists are the ones standing up for freedom of expression and common sense when the west has already fallen.
noooooooo not the goonerinos!!!!
>>291205883Just make the content free then, it's literally that easy.You need to have brain damage to pay for porn, and I do not condone exploiting disabled people.
>>291205883they also deleted grass image materialLiteral grass
>>291205883Not /a/.Fuck off and post this on /biz/ or /trash/ or whatever.
>>291205883Websites like dlsite and fanbox should just die. Their UI sucks and they are very anti-user. If they can't adapt to pressure under payment processors then users will look elsewhere, unless the government starts banning things.
>>291205883>no linkOP is a faggot and sucks sooo many dicks. Fuck OP!!!
>>291205883but censorship apologists were saying they would only go after loli content and only pedos care.
>>291206132https://x.com/i/trending/2103338022909448224
>>291205935>authoritarian collectivistsRetard.
>>291206185It's fucking nothing literary, OP's a faggot.
>>291206002They will still ban you for making that kind of content even if it's unrelated>no they wont!Yes they will>>291205981Kill yourself bootlicker
>>291206185>posts containing languageI don't use those sites but this sounds like a nothingburger. Still, shit like this tends to go further if ignored, so I share a small part of the worry, but OP is obviously just trying to stir shit up and is, as usual, a faggot
>>291205883Rape, incest, "mama" was also blocked. BTW recently "daddy" term was banned on pornhub too. These fucking cc companies are going for another wave of censorship
>>291205883>girl in bikiniTruly american morals. When will china finally nuke this trash?
>>291206319Artist are already sharing that their works with gangbang in the title and such are suspended
Not anime or manga
>>291205883What materials? Brushes? Poses? Clothing references?
>>291206438Everything.Even >>291206016Yes, fucking grass.
>>291206241If they didn’t, they would have gotten rid of Comiket and such earlier
>>291206418Soon, they'll come for your anime or manga too.Every nudity scene from anime adaptation of non-ecchi manga but has explicit nudity in it are all censored already.What's next?
>>291205883Gee i wonder whos behind payment processor and cc company.
>soonPeople keep saying it time and time again, yet things stay the same
>>291205883You know, this all ends as soon as a whistleblower names names for who's exactly behind this.I don't mean corporate fronts, but the human beings pushing this shit.
>>291206492Well when they do, then maybe you can discuss it hereUntil then fuck off
>>291205883But I thought Glorious Nippon just dropped Western payment processors
Why do payment processors do it? Who works there?
>>291205883If you think the Japanese government wants to protect "problematic" content you're delusional, they're happy that banks are taking care of it so that they don't have to expose themselves and get backlash from artists. This way they can pretend to be on their side when it's convenient
>>291205981>>291206029>>291206226>>291206418go back and kill yourself normalfag retards
>>291206649Cutting off a bunch of paying customers without a replacement is a retarded idea, turns out.
I genuinely don't understand the subhumans who post the " not anime or manga " gimmick for huge systematic censorship issues like this? Are these faggots genuinely just that raped by " muh culture war " or do they just want to the put their hands in the sand? Clip Art is literally banning nip artists from colors and shit they bought cause of payment processors
>>291205883>>291206185So if I understood correctly, not just content on porn platforms are being targeted this time, but actual non-pornography sites and content? Like material normal mangaka need for their works?
>>291205883America was a mistake
>>291206481You don't want to attack artists directly because the anime industry is pretty profitable and all major creators and otakus are very pro artistic freedom, if you tried to shut comiket down major names and publishers would revolt: they're not like western publishers that bend the knee to anything It's very convenient for them that the banks are taking care of it since they hate porn like all governments because all governments are fascist
>>291206649Dlsite did but fanbox/pixiv is a coward
It's the UK behind a lot of the globalized payment processor bullshit, genuinely the worst country. Brits are scum
>>291206759It's just their way of coping.
>>291206787It's not that easy, DLSite basically built its own bank in Taiwan not everyone can do thatEven in Japan not everyone uses JCB, the only card that still allows porn
>>291206016草
>>291205883Why hasn't japan created their own payment processor?
>>291206817Dlsite allows alipay which foreigners can use to buy. Fanbox is just too lazy to ditch these shitty processors and would rather burn bridges with their home country
All I can do is speculate like everyone else but I can't help but feel like the comical level of censorship on the modern Internet is in part to clamp down on the potential for talented people who aren't working for major studios/corporations to make money producing content. I mean, think about all of the juvenile retarded euphemisms people have to use just to be allowed exposure- "unalive", "sewer slide", etc. Having to censor somebody holding a gun or a knife. Words like "rape" and "sex" completely off-limits. It has gone way beyond porn or even adult stories in general, you can't even talk like a normal person on the Internet without being suppressed and it all feels very artificial. I don't have any smoking gun here but I'm not entirely sold on the narrative that it's because companies want to make more money selling ads; I'm sure that's part of it but I also think that the suppression of the average person's ability to express themselves in any way is a deliberate kneecapping of freedom of expression in a time when corporations are more creatively bankrupt than ever, and as we all know these companies love to jerk each other off any chance they can get.
>>291206920Their economy is fake
>>291206997You're overthinking it. It's simply because people are flocking to Japanese entertainment after the very same people ruined western entertainment industry.
So they are doing this to themselves got it
>>291205883Why are so Japanese hellbent on resisting the use of cryptocurrencies?The Koreans are using it without any issue. Pornhub has accepted cryptocurrency to get around credit card shenanigans.Just accept Litecoin (for near-zero transaction fees) and Bitcoin (for legacy reasons) payments and your problems are over.Why are Japanese extremely stubborn and stuck in their old ways? There's no other ethnicity autistic like this.
>>291207073Westards just want to ruin everything
>>291206997Of course it is. Only "approved" entertainment is allowed. Any non conforming media is evil! This has been a thing all the way back to gamergate and political control
>>291207096Being unchanging is what let them last so long to begin with. Sturdy and flexible would be better, but those are also the words of the very subversives behind this.
>>291205883You won't get any healthy discussion here btw. /a/ has been infested by the prudes from both extremes of western retardation who want to censor everything.
>>291207096Someone in Japan need to serve as conversion to fiat currencies first and banks in Japan will never do that as they have the most PITA policies
>>291205883There is nothing we can do.Recently someone posted long ass "investigation" about how "AI safety" shit is pushed by sex cult."They" own everything. It's over.
>>291207163You know something? I'm >>291206997 and while I'm personally pretty sick of pornography at this point in my life, only a fool would think this kind of censorship ever stops at pornographic material. While not directly related to the payment processor stuff, the fact that you have to censor non-profanities like kill, die, rape, murder, gun, suicide, etc. on social media just to be seen is a sign of something way bigger than simply clamping down on jerk material. The Internet has amazing potential and it's being aggressively bottlenecked by evil people for nefarious purposes.
>>291205883In more local news, why does thebarchive now block searching for incest?
>>291206920They do, it's the JCB but it's not widely used
remember how the uk introduced a bunch of pritect the kids laws and immediately used them to censor criticism of the government
>>291207096>The Koreans are using itI am one and no big companies accept cryptocurrency as payment lmao
>>291206492I wonder when they will start targeting games with lolis. This will kill half of asian games.
So what now? Is there we can do to stop this or is it over?
>>291206997To some extent yes, independent artists largely earn money by making stuff like porn, horror and edgy psychological work. To large corporations that produce safer works it's getting rid of the competition so they don't oppose censorship culture or even actual restrictions like banks and game rating systems
>>291207163The issue with /a/ when discussing these topics is normalfag retards saying shit like " not /a/ related. " They won't advocate for censorship but try to pretend it's not a big deal. The tourists unironically using the word gooner are just easily ignorable
>>291207422Remember this? https://ricedigital.co.uk/girls-und-panzer-designer-bbc-documentary-is-fake-news-national-shame/
>>291205883This happens when you are afraid to be antisemitic and not burning their building
>>291207252Link?
>>291207510It's unlikely things will be " over " just like that. These restricts work in bunches, they just keep getting worse over time. The solution is praying that the nip govt eventually does something to address the payment processor issue since they have otaku politicians and constituency (still unlikely). The more realistic solution is hoping people move to and create platforms immunized to payment processor faggotry pushed by the UK
>>291207546rentry ai-safety-is-mostly-a-sex-cult-in-berkeley-california
>>291206787Then why are they still blocking works with "offensive" tags outside Japan? I can't even see the product page without a VPN.
>>291206920They need their owner's permission
>>291207296You brought a lot of good points but when you can see those retards defending the censorship of Japanese drawings in a fucking /a/nime board, it doesn't look that much better than an astroturfed hole like rebbit.Also, this has already stepped beyond pornography. On Fanbox, this simple page got taken down, even fucking text only novels too, with reasons as vague as "depicting criminal acts". On ClipStudio side, brushes, patterns, architecture 3D models, other SFW stuff got taken down.I have a JCB card by now so I just hope they can just quickly cut off Visa and Mastercard like DLSite.
>>291206920read/watch "princes of the yen"
>>291207942Grass means great ass so of course retarded AI model they use for """"moderation and management"""" nuked it lmao
>>291208255Isn't 4chan already using ai for nsfw image detection?
>>291206920They're America's bitch, they're not gonna do anything against it. Sure you may get a protest or two against bases but in real geopolitical terms they'll bow down and Kiss America's feet like the dogs they are.
>>291208255It's a fucking joke because what the fuck>>291207942I've seen a few rallies with what seems to be local Japanese politicians but nothing happensdidn't POTUS say something vague about payment processors affecting citizen freedoms and then nothing came out of it?
>>291207942How do you get a JCB card? If this feels like begging remember ever person with one is another step closer to defanging the payment processors entirely.
>>291208930POTUS says many things. He also has nothing forcing him to do anything he says nor punish him for doing what he says he wouldn't because the judicial and legislative are jokes who literally allowed him to start 2 wars and fiddle with taxes despite the constitution explicitly forbidding it.
>>291207096Why do you pretend you care when you didn't even try?https://www.dlpay-crypto.com/en
>>291207942>>291209004Aren't Discover cards also considered JCB cards due to an old agreement/collaboration? That was gonna be the last credit card I went for specifically because of that
>>291209016Yeah I noticed.The most hopeless thing about this is that if there's going to be any change it HAS to be from the american government. EU doesn't give a shit about personal freedoms or expression, and there aren't any other bodies big enough to get a corporation as big as a payment process to bend the knee besides these two.
I'm having such massive fucking fatigue from all this censorship. This is seriously the most censored that the internet has ever been. When the fuck will this end?
>>291209508>When the fuck will this end?LOLIt's the begging.
>>291205981Whatever you like will be next you know.
>>291209004>>291209181I'm in Asia, and it's not hard to get here. Not sure what the deal is with Discover cards but you can try them first, because JCB USA stopped issuing JCB cards in 2018.If that doesn't work, unfortunately your next best bet might be a virtual prepaid JCB card (might require a JP phone number) or opening a bank account in JP (requires a long term stay or visa).Either way, shops like DLSite will have options like points/paypal if you have no other choice.
>>291206185Oh okay, there's no actual source and it's Grok's hallucination combining the CSP asset takedown/restoration process story with grifters' hanger-on bullshit. Knew something was up when Fanbox wasn't reporting shit.
>>291205883>ban 'problematic' contents from "depiction of crime" to "hypnosis".what? no shooting cops in anime? no violence? might as well ban everything in anime that is not 4KIDS.
>>291206211How would you describe Japanese society?Their priorities are #1 make the authorities happy and #2 make the collective happy
>>291206185calories?!?!? damn you diet fags!
>>291210025You could've just opened the link and seen all those related posts from official sources and other users. But I suppose that's too much to ask for.
I hate censorship but I also hate Patreon/Fanbox/Fantia culture. Go back to drawing comics and doujins you lazy ass faggot artists. You're not supposed to be able to live off drawing a couple of illustrations per month.
>>291206798started with aussie karen moms, actually. if you meant payment processors.
>>291210146OP could have posted those, and I re-iterate that there's nothing official from Fanbox, CSP is about fixing the assets issue, everything else is grifters grifting. Grok summary isn't true if you read everything.
>>291206787a few good men>>291206817sad nippons don't even suppork the japanese bank card.
>>291210217Fuck you
>>291206185>caloriesKill all americans
Do the chinks have their own payment processor? I know the CCP is another can of worms, but they are only ones able to fight back decently against westoid financekeks.
>>291210296The source of this image is a South African literally drawing gangrape hypnosis beastiality btw.
>>291210467And that matters because...?
>>291210507It's an alert just for him. It's not a brand new site-wide mandate. You're falling for ragebait and slop.
