It’s racism towards Japan for now. The broader implication is that the credit card companies would try this on all of us, trying to literally control what we can and cannot buy based on their idea o right and wrong. This is why cash is king
They are, they have massive market dominance even in the US and form unfair deals to help big retail chains squeeze out competitors, leading to food deserts and job shortages in already economically depressed areas.
That is the point. You know why RU/AU war was enacted? To block emerging competition to US services. Yandex before war was better than Google. Mir is better than MC/Visa. They both were blocked day 1. Shows you the priorities, right?
Visa's only role in the world is to facilitate payments between various platforms not being a moral busybody pushing ESG and DEI which have already failed in the west.

@MisterGreis There's actually a huge section who are negatively affected but they blame the patreons, etc. and not the real villains: the credit card companies. They don't know. This sht is affecting authors too. No one knows which platform will get hit next.
Payment processing is a critical part of a country's financial infrastructure. It's absurd how many governments let foreign companies do whatever they want.
Sounds like banks in Japan should set up their own payment processing and offer both services and credit cards globally. Not only would this possibly help their ailing economy but it will safe guard them from similar attacks in the future. I'd certainly apply for a privacy respecting Japanese credit card.
@@bushturkey798 Of course they would, but one can't just lie down and cry about it and accept defeat without trying just because there will be push-back.
They already have their own payment processor. JCB is Japanese and 60% of cards in Japan are JCB cards, both credit and debit. It's regional within East Asian and South East Asia however it does exist and is the majority card in Japan.
@@neko_3851 yeah, like the Taiwanese otaku already switch to JCB, since DMM/Fanza and dlsite and Pixiv fanbox and a lot more, stop accept payment with Visa/MasterCard these years
I say go for it Japan. The creative world doesn't deserve you and you have NOTHING to apologise for or answer to. As someone from the UK, the west hasn't got a clue. If only there was a Japanese person reasing this and I wasn't talking into the ether
Taking away the card for matchmaking was clearly the last straw for Japanenese politicians. Because if it's not dealt with, Visa and Mastercard would censor more and more to submit Japan.
It's considered to be fetishistic and thus not representative, or even offensive. Never mind the fact that Western media with the same things is even worse.
I think the wider issue is credit card companies being allowed to dictate what a person spends their money on more so when the products are legal, No company should be allowed to be a moral arbitrators period this is and should be seen as a direct attack on consumer freedom not just on artist or the Japanese
Really hope they fasttrack a law for this. Something along the lines of online payment services being an essential service and withholding service without a court ruling become a federal crime or at least stromg suspicions of being used for criminal.activity. Nobody should have the power to deny fair transactions, especially if the group has far enough reach that it's plausible for people to be entirely unable to pay for something because of a denial of service.
As an American who loves anime and understands the Japanese culture, I stand with Japan and the creators of their manga and anime franchises. I'm a big anime fan, especially Dragon Ball! I watch anime mostly in dub, but also in sub, too. Don't have a preference. But yeah, I stand with Japan and the anime creators and writers.
Japan is aware and still has time to avoid the "you will have nothing and you will be happy". But they had better react now, starting with their leaders.
@Roy-chiltern What does one thing have to do with the Woke movement and left-wing radicalism (which has many people in America also fed up)? By the way, if we talk about occupation, who sent the Japanese empire to occupy China and Southeast Asia last century, and lose the war of course?
@Roy-chiltern Could it be because in Venezuela the socialist government of Nicolás Maduro is destroying the Amazon and taking out everything that is valuable down there to pay the Russians, Iranians and Chinese? And everyone is silent of course, starting with President Gustavo Petro, the former drug-trafficking ex guerrilla member and current head of state of Colombia and of course a leftist.

This is something I always said, payment processors need regulation so they are not allowed to decline any sort of service unless mandated by a court of law or the service itself is illegal. The way things are, they can simply exert their influence on any other business and decide who lives or dies, or how they should conduct their business, lest they are unable to process payments.
Visa and Mastercard are payment processing platforms, and nothing else. If they suspect there are illegal things going on, then _get the flippin' law involved_ instead of acting like some sort of moral police who gets to decide what I can consume or not. I'm a grown man who is fully capable of making my own decisions and, if it comes to that, learn from my mistakes. The last thing I need is a CEO in another part of the world who does not have my experiences, does not share my thoughts or morals and know _nothing_ about why I consume the media I consume, telling me what I can and can't do with my own goddamn money!
They've been doing this in the America and Europe for at least 10 years with no repercussions. There was talk of conservatives building their own credit card system and a dual economy starting but nothing has come out of such talks.
They don’t hire on jobs based on skin color and sexuality, they hire based on skills, talent and creativity, they want people who can contribute to the industry, not someone who feel so bad about themselves
@@KookoCraft "But if you decentralized it you can't tax it" That's why we have tariffs and mercantile taxes. Paying taxes only on what you buy is how it should be. Not how much you make, or save, or inherit, or........
@@KookoCraft this isn't a 'centralization' problem though, this is two major businesses choosing to suspend service for something they 'disagree' with. The solution is simply having more than VISA and Mastercard available for processing said transactions. This has nothing to do with governmental currencies.
All Japanese companies should sue Visa and mastercard for unjust locks on purchases on alleged "uncensored" products. That kind of restriction is anti-freedom and Visa and MasterCard should suffer major financial consequences.
@@Ieatpaste23 Technically they did fight back. I mean, america already tried to dictate whom the Japanese can attack by taking away oil sources just because of some other island nation in the area, which was actually the reason for pearl harbour.
At this point I'm just gonna start looking into alternatives for visas/banks. A credit card company has absolutely no right to dictate what you can and can't buy based off their personal moral compass.
Japan just need to say to these processors all legal transaction must be allowed or they are banned from doing business in Japan, the 3rd largerst economy. Mess with their money if you want to get their attention and compliance.
As someone living in Japan for the last several years I have felt that, despite (or perhaps because of) increased tourism and foreigner presence in Japan, the Japanese attitude has been quietly slipping more and more into isolationism. The outside world - sans Korea - is of little to no interest to the average Japanese especially compared to even 10 years ago. I think these kinds of actions push Japan towards rejecting all foreign influence. (Whether they can afford it irt importation of energy, goods, and agriculture is another matter)
People have been talking about this for ages (the issue of how much power Visa and Mastercard have over businesses on a global scale) so I'm glad people are finally starting to notice. The moment Visa/MC start trying to editorialize their clients is the moment they should lose all their privileges internationally. Similar to how Google/YT editorializing content should be punished by removing their protections as a platform.
If Japan completely rejects the woke, then I’ll be honored to call the country my permanent home! I love Japan so I want to help make it a better country by being a contributing citizen!😊
Woah, woah Japan, don't lump me in with those crazy people, I'm actually sane. Not going to lie I wish I'd learned Japanese besides not really being into anime and stuff, just so I could offer my services as "a localizer that will not f' with your story."
It always has to do with control. Ironic the country that brags about "meh freedom", is the same country that can't speak without their corporate overlords say.
They do, but Visa and other credit card companies are too big to ignore, also Russia are still consider as an enemy because of different political view, while as Japan and US are very close allies
Japan had JCB which had an US base (JCBUSA) but they closed down in 2018 because very few people got them. If they had waited out just a bit longer as VISA and MC started doing this stuff, they wouldve gotten a huge new customer base.
And right now those Russian platforms can't work in most countries outside of Russia, most of which have their own blocks. Going through numerous third parties to still end up using visa or Mastercard is also costly. This isn't like PayPal or Payoneer acting up, they're front end, it's the payment systems on the backend that allow most of the world to shop beyond their borders and within them. That's what these bastards control. It also has to be recognised by most retailers and not region locked to certain countries.
@kilojoule_kj They should try again, but start in Hawaii since that's the state with the closest relationship to Japan. I just want to be able to recharge in JPN servers for games. Though I wonder if that would accept despite it being a US region JCB card (hypothetically at this point). Yea, the "chips on shoulders" from "supporters" of minorities thing hurt event inclusion in the global Project Sekai server. That one event that was more based on Princess Mononoke than Native Americans.
Also joey the anime man made video about this like 5 years ago when they were trying ban l0li's and also mentioned the artical in there saying " this isn't new they were trying to do this about women being sexualized" and that artical now is 5 and 11+ year old respectively. They're at it since ages.

Surprised twitter havent threatened the ceos of visa/mastercard tbh
One of the most evil corpos out there
They agree with their dogma. Why would Twitter go against them?
@@MisterGreisyeah, it's basically attacking its own allies if that ever happen.
@MisterGreis There's actually a huge section who are negatively affected but they blame the patreons, etc. and not the real villains: the credit card companies. They don't know.
This sht is affecting authors too. No one knows which platform will get hit next.
@@MisterGreis because the Twitter/BS nuts claim to be anti-capitalist
The Twitter police would mostly support the mandate Visa and mastercard are trying to enforce here. That is why

Payment processing is a critical part of a country's financial infrastructure. It's absurd how many governments let foreign companies do whatever they want.
Sounds like banks in Japan should set up their own payment processing and offer both services and credit cards globally. Not only would this possibly help their ailing economy but it will safe guard them from similar attacks in the future. I'd certainly apply for a privacy respecting Japanese credit card.
Visa and PayPal would lobby the shit outta people to ban it.
@@bushturkey798 Of course they would, but one can't just lie down and cry about it and accept defeat without trying just because there will be push-back.
@@Frag-ile It was also give Japan even more ammo for anti-trust lawsuits against Visa and Mastercard if they tried to pull that
They already have their own payment processor. JCB is Japanese and 60% of cards in Japan are JCB cards, both credit and debit. It's regional within East Asian and South East Asia however it does exist and is the majority card in Japan.
@@neko_3851 yeah, like the Taiwanese otaku already switch to JCB, since DMM/Fanza and dlsite and Pixiv fanbox and a lot more, stop accept payment with Visa/MasterCard these years
I say go for it Japan. The creative world doesn't deserve you and you have NOTHING to apologise for or answer to. As someone from the UK, the west hasn't got a clue.
If only there was a Japanese person reasing this and I wasn't talking into the ether
tiny little tyrants - all of them.
Taking away the card for matchmaking was clearly the last straw for Japanenese politicians. Because if it's not dealt with, Visa and Mastercard would censor more and more to submit Japan.
I find it funny because Japan has some most loved media and content that has GL and BL.😅 How do they not have enough representation?
It's considered to be fetishistic and thus not representative, or even offensive. Never mind the fact that Western media with the same things is even worse.
@@gyppygirl2021what the hell is this? I don't understand a bit of what they wanted
@@gyppygirl2021fetishistic? You mean like what happens every June?
@@gyppygirl2021When they calls it "fetishistic" it just means "not ugly".
@gyppygirl2021
The reason is because they treat it like it doesn't exist, convenient ignorance. It's never enough for them.
I think the wider issue is credit card companies being allowed to dictate what a person spends their money on more so when the products are legal, No company should be allowed to be a moral arbitrators period this is and should be seen as a direct attack on consumer freedom not just on artist or the Japanese
I’m an American and I stand with Japan!!!!!!!
Same
Really hope they fasttrack a law for this. Something along the lines of online payment services being an essential service and withholding service without a court ruling become a federal crime or at least stromg suspicions of being used for criminal.activity.
Nobody should have the power to deny fair transactions, especially if the group has far enough reach that it's plausible for people to be entirely unable to pay for something because of a denial of service.
It is morally correct to not like the ununited nations
Infact it very much is. The People's Republic of China has an Permanent Seat After all. And we know how Human Rights Loving they are

As an American who loves anime and understands the Japanese culture, I stand with Japan and the creators of their manga and anime franchises. I'm a big anime fan, especially Dragon Ball! I watch anime mostly in dub, but also in sub, too. Don't have a preference. But yeah, I stand with Japan and the anime creators and writers.
same here! Go Japan!
Damn, looks like Japan has the PINNED against the wall.
*hand on the shoulder*
Maybe next time
rip
Well VISa was basically playing their hand at economical interference while being nothing but a provider of payment method.
Honestly, as an American, Japan can go along with this. Dont bend the knee for anyone
Lmao isnt this kinda like all that colonizing THEY talk about
Right?!
Colonization is only bad when white people do it according to the West. Their mask is completely off.
Japan is aware and still has time to avoid the "you will have nothing and you will be happy".
But they had better react now, starting with their leaders.
Japans been occupied for decades....
@Roy-chiltern What does one thing have to do with the Woke movement and left-wing radicalism (which has many people in America also fed up)?
By the way, if we talk about occupation, who sent the Japanese empire to occupy China and Southeast Asia last century, and lose the war of course?
@@DeiKuromu tell me you understand nothing of this world without saying it. Look up operation gladio in Italy xD and try to learn something.
@@DeiKuromu have you ever wondered why america needs 6 air bases in Colombia?
@Roy-chiltern Could it be because in Venezuela the socialist government of Nicolás Maduro is destroying the Amazon and taking out everything that is valuable down there to pay the Russians, Iranians and Chinese? And everyone is silent of course, starting with President Gustavo Petro, the former drug-trafficking ex guerrilla member and current head of state of Colombia and of course a leftist.
Why don't you ask him to kick the Americans out of Colombia? Gringo ⚽ sucker
Japan government just needs to say “you want to operate here, you can’t suspend payments for legal activities”
Good luck, Japan! Save your industies! Save your culture!
i fear for the deepening hole between America and Japan- as an American. I've been inspired for years by their stories and works of art and I'd love to go there and experience Japan without being judged or labeled by what precedents others' have set for us. This all hurts....
The credit card companies have too much power.
They allow Only Fools to do even worse without even looking at it.
UN : Japan Animation Industry! You gotta embrace DEI!
JAI : I'm already am? (pointing the overworked, exhausted employee of all races and genders)
UN : “Stare in disbelief” Not like THAT! You need to cater to the minorities! REEEEEEEE
"we do not discriminate on who gets overworked and underpaid here."
JAI: look, our staffs are composed of 99% of indigenous people
Japan: we don't have people being stoned
UN: real people don't count only drawn characters matter
Japan: we need a translator
This is something I always said, payment processors need regulation so they are not allowed to decline any sort of service unless mandated by a court of law or the service itself is illegal. The way things are, they can simply exert their influence on any other business and decide who lives or dies, or how they should conduct their business, lest they are unable to process payments.
We fought for our freedom as Americans so should they.
Every war America has ever fought in resulted in fewer freedoms for it's citizens not more.
Visa and Mastercard are payment processing platforms, and nothing else. If they suspect there are illegal things going on, then _get the flippin' law involved_ instead of acting like some sort of moral police who gets to decide what I can consume or not. I'm a grown man who is fully capable of making my own decisions and, if it comes to that, learn from my mistakes. The last thing I need is a CEO in another part of the world who does not have my experiences, does not share my thoughts or morals and know _nothing_ about why I consume the media I consume, telling me what I can and can't do with my own goddamn money!
Welp it's been nice being able to play my video games. I guess they're going to be taken against me against my will
Tnx guys I had a good thing going
Do you think they realise how many people would make taking down "the power" their goal in, should they remove that?
they legit trynna stop weebs from reproducing XD even when Japan already has a Birth rate crisis
@@bushturkey798no, you don't look down if you squashed a bug. They neither
@@bushturkey798 I don't think they realize that what happened with the UHC CEO is not exclusive to Insurance CEOs
They've been doing this in the America and Europe for at least 10 years with no repercussions. There was talk of conservatives building their own credit card system and a dual economy starting but nothing has come out of such talks.
visa ceos are in need of a luigy too
That whole thing glows too me.
Visa is aligned with em so I doubt it.
They don’t hire on jobs based on skin color and sexuality, they hire based on skills, talent and creativity, they want people who can contribute to the industry, not someone who feel so bad about themselves
Frr
given the current state of affairs i don't blame them.
Japan deserves the right to choose. Sincerely, an American.
y'all who stand through the propaganda are amazing
Time for new international payment processors
or yall can finally admit decentralization is the only way to do it without a repeat of the same thing
@@KookoCraft
"But if you decentralized it you can't tax it"
That's why we have tariffs and mercantile taxes. Paying taxes only on what you buy is how it should be. Not how much you make, or save, or inherit, or........
This, or maybe it's time I try to understand cryptocurrency. If Japan was willing to accept that as payment.
@@DarkForce2024Have you seen how Crypto does in the last few years? It always crashes fast
@@KookoCraft this isn't a 'centralization' problem though, this is two major businesses choosing to suspend service for something they 'disagree' with. The solution is simply having more than VISA and Mastercard available for processing said transactions. This has nothing to do with governmental currencies.
All Japanese companies should sue Visa and mastercard for unjust locks on purchases on alleged "uncensored" products. That kind of restriction is anti-freedom and Visa and MasterCard should suffer major financial consequences.
Americans toward Japan before: *Fight Back, 🥷🏿, Fight Back!"
Japan now: *You were saying?*
Better late than never.
You don't know anything about WW2 if you think Japan was fighting back. They were no different than Germany.
@@Ieatpaste23sadly they lost and with that freedom lost
@Risver Nah, they were as evil as the nazis. Stop simping for Japan.
@@Ieatpaste23 Technically they did fight back. I mean, america already tried to dictate whom the Japanese can attack by taking away oil sources just because of some other island nation in the area, which was actually the reason for pearl harbour.
Isn't it interesting nobody is targetting western "dark romance"?
Based Japan
The EU, Wef etc might be some of the worst things to ever happen to this planet
This pin will pierce the heavens
At this point I'm just gonna start looking into alternatives for visas/banks. A credit card company has absolutely no right to dictate what you can and can't buy based off their personal moral compass.
Japan just need to say to these processors all legal transaction must be allowed or they are banned from doing business in Japan, the 3rd largerst economy. Mess with their money if you want to get their attention and compliance.
Yeah, I guess they got to switch to Chinese payment processors. Or to build up their own from scratch, however millions or billions that would cost.
I stand with Japan.
I fully support Japan in preserving their way of life. Western "values" be damned.
As someone living in Japan for the last several years I have felt that, despite (or perhaps because of) increased tourism and foreigner presence in Japan, the Japanese attitude has been quietly slipping more and more into isolationism. The outside world - sans Korea - is of little to no interest to the average Japanese especially compared to even 10 years ago. I think these kinds of actions push Japan towards rejecting all foreign influence. (Whether they can afford it irt importation of energy, goods, and agriculture is another matter)
Japan should reject all foreign influence. They don't need to change anything they do. The same with the Western peoples.
Good, credit card companies need to realise that they facilitate transactions. They need to stay in their lane.
Japan bros, hold the line.
Western people saying "DEI fixs everything" is like Snake Oil merchants telling people "Snake Oil cure everything"
This perfectly sums it all up I think you should print this on t shirts and sell them
Pave the way forward Japan - show the rest of the world that you don't tolerate this kind of behaviour!
People have been talking about this for ages (the issue of how much power Visa and Mastercard have over businesses on a global scale) so I'm glad people are finally starting to notice.
The moment Visa/MC start trying to editorialize their clients is the moment they should lose all their privileges internationally. Similar to how Google/YT editorializing content should be punished by removing their protections as a platform.
im european and also an artist who started studying anime art recently and i agree, nobody should limit artists and animators creativity
This is how Visa, MasterCard, and Paypal, start getting replaced.
If Japan completely rejects the woke, then I’ll be honored to call the country my permanent home! I love Japan so I want to help make it a better country by being a contributing citizen!😊
Same man I want to move there
If they get away with it again, I'm going to lose faith in humanity.
Why is the US Public so angry at corporations? It's a mystery!
Most especially *US* corporations..........The answer: Because they're run by a bunch of dickheads!
Woah, woah Japan, don't lump me in with those crazy people, I'm actually sane.
Not going to lie I wish I'd learned Japanese besides not really being into anime and stuff, just so I could offer my services as "a localizer that will not f' with your story."
This.
"there is no agenda"
I'm with Japan!
It always has to do with control. Ironic the country that brags about "meh freedom", is the same country that can't speak without their corporate overlords say.
Build your own payment platform, just like Russia if you don't want to be forced into things.
They do, but Visa and other credit card companies are too big to ignore, also Russia are still consider as an enemy because of different political view, while as Japan and US are very close allies
yandex unironically one of the better search engines in this hellscape of an internet we have
Japan had JCB which had an US base (JCBUSA) but they closed down in 2018 because very few people got them. If they had waited out just a bit longer as VISA and MC started doing this stuff, they wouldve gotten a huge new customer base.
And right now those Russian platforms can't work in most countries outside of Russia, most of which have their own blocks. Going through numerous third parties to still end up using visa or Mastercard is also costly.
This isn't like PayPal or Payoneer acting up, they're front end, it's the payment systems on the backend that allow most of the world to shop beyond their borders and within them. That's what these bastards control. It also has to be recognised by most retailers and not region locked to certain countries.
@kilojoule_kj They should try again, but start in Hawaii since that's the state with the closest relationship to Japan. I just want to be able to recharge in JPN servers for games. Though I wonder if that would accept despite it being a US region JCB card (hypothetically at this point).
Yea, the "chips on shoulders" from "supporters" of minorities thing hurt event inclusion in the global Project Sekai server. That one event that was more based on Princess Mononoke than Native Americans.
Payment Processors have no legal right to extort entire nations unless they "change their ways".
Reading that title made me ready for some WW3 lore.
My great grandchildren are gonna ask me why did WW3 start and I'm gonna have a lot to explain to them
Also joey the anime man made video about this like 5 years ago when they were trying ban l0li's and also mentioned the artical in there saying " this isn't new they were trying to do this about women being sexualized" and that artical now is 5 and 11+ year old respectively.
They're at it since ages.
I am wondering, why is the UN running advertisments for (probably US) DEI consultant firms?!? Don't they have some letters tp write or wars to ignore?
Selling spicy cartoons and audio... VISA: REEEEEEEE THAT"S PROBLEMATIC! REEEEE CANCEL!!!!
Women selling themselves online... VISA: YAS QUEEN SLAY!!!
God, its weird seeing people actually fight back against payment processors. The usual response is to just lay down and deal with it.
80 years ago the title would have had a whole different context
Good. I don't want to go back to the stone age of having to snail-mail dollar bills to complete online transactions.
