From dec 2024, but still relevant

https://automaton-media.com/en/news/visa-japans-ceo-says-disabling-card-payment-for-legal-adult-content-is-necessary-to-protect-the-brand/

Tell me again why visa is forcing the hand of video game and anime distributors to pull <1% content or they will stop service for them but are perfectly fine continuing to support OnlyFans, of which 70-80% of their “content creators” are e-***, payment processing??

The answer is exactly what I said before:
When its men profiting, its exploitation
When its women profiting, its empowering

Theres no other excuse

I read the article in your post and the message that I got from that particular article was "western value v.s Japan" "Japanese sites are being pressured by the western organizations because they have different opinions on what is okay and what is not in their creations"

Nothing in the article said they target men, they only said they target Japanese indie/fanart platform. They mentioned "Japan" over and over again in the article, and yet you still read it as men v.s women somehow.

I think you already draw the conclusion that men is currently being pressured by feminists, so whenever you read an article about something else that may or may not be related you search for every evidence to support your conclusion. Even when the article wasn't talking about that. Which leads to you process information from the wrong angle and often missing pieces.

If you go search the background of that NGO, you'd find religious groups behind it. I guess only women are porn hating Christians but not conservative men yeah? Have you ever go ask a male fundie Christian for their opinion on porn, before you draw the conclusion that this is strictly men v.s women?

If you go search for those anime sites pressured by Visa, you'd find an entire section for female content that's mostly made by women, such as this: https://www.dlsite.com/girls-touch/. All of those female content are affected too.

Which pretty much shows your flawed conclusion of "only women are allowed to profit but not men" completely incorrect.

Anyways, I think your backward thinking method is faulty, and it leads you missing pieces of information and draws incorrect conclusions. Nor I think you'll going to be convinced change your analyze methods. So go believe whatever you want man. Just don't complain when other people called you conspiracy theorist due to your faulty information processing method.

Even AI knows how to read an article and conclude better. I asked AI to read this then ask it if this incident indicates payment processing companies are targeting men.

AI said:
There’s no public evidence suggesting a deliberate anti-male stance. However, some observers feel the pressure disproportionately affects male creators and audiences—particularly those involved with hentai, ero-doujinshi, and other adult genres popular among men.

If true, it wouldn't necessarily mean companies "don't like men profiting from porn"—it might reflect broader discomfort with specific content types, especially ones that don’t align with Western standards of acceptability.

Ultimately, this seems more about corporate risk management and cross-cultural friction than a targeted attack on any gender.

Nynja, you could consider using AI to assist you more.

5 pages later you still can't logically connect how any of these is related to men v.s women gender war.

But it's okay, I did the work for you.

https://www.collectiveshout.org/tags/ncose


Quote:
Collective Shout joins with National Centre on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) and thousands of grassroots advocates to urge the U.S. Attorney General to investigate OnlyFans, so they can be held accountable.

OnlyFans is on the NCOSE 2023 Dirty Dozen List for facilitating sex trafficking, child sexual abuse material, and image-based sexual abuse.


Oops, looks like they fight OnlyFans too, which proves your "they don't fight OnlyFans because female empowerment" conspiracy theory is totally wrong.

Also, in case you are wondering who NCOSE is, they joined the payment processor pressuring and wiki has their background:

https://www.collectiveshout.org/media-release-payment-gateways

Quote:
Signatories to date are: Collective Shout, National Centre on Sexual Exploitation,


https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_on_Sexual_Exploitation

Quote:
The group was started as a part of the religious right and was primarily Catholic. It began as an interfaith group of three New York clergymen concerned about pornography and "salacious"
magazines.

Now tell me how only women are Catholic and how "clergymen" are women.

Oh and this guy is the president of NCOSE:
https://independent.academia.edu/MarcelVanderWatt

Oh look, this dude who oppressed porn games is A MEN.

It's totally obviously that your claims about men v.s women are false, because of your inability to do research yourself.

tl;dr: Nynja has bad ability to research and he is biased.

He also generates conspiracy theory on the internet without proof.

so when i tried to start my car this morning it decided it did not want to and made some freaky noises and the check engine light was flashing, which i now know means it had a "serious engine misfire" /hurray

car are lame where is that teleporter tech? :/ though it would probably take some stupid high amount of energy/water like AI has been to run... but light speed travel seems more worth it then crappy half baked meme generators.

There's too much profit selling gas and cars (and the fast food and starbucks you buy as you drive by) to ever even think about shifting the paradigm.

ok hear me out though, teleporter + arrive at your destination with a full stomach of food, or teleporter sick and arrive healthy, the limits are limitless!

There's too much to lose by making lives easier.

If you aren't stuck if traffic all day you might put serious effort into making the world a place where people don't have to be stuck in traffic all day.

And you would put doctors out of business, and mcdonalds, and ford, and the people who build roads.

How dare you put progress before profit.

It would be weird, what would we even do with all the roads if teleportation became a viable daily technology, make more houses, let nature reclaim it (100% what we would do in washington)?

like you said it would be a huge paradigm shift

and what about the criminal uses, abduction/theft from the safety of not leaving your hide out.

The poors would still use the roads because it would be prohibitively expensive. (but it would be all busted up because who cares about the poors)

And it would be highly regulated, you'd be chipped by then, too.
