Damn seems things are just gonna get worse from now on tbh I feel like those victims should genuinely have there chance to be heard and compensated for the damage that the site did cause them but now everyone will have to suffer from it even those who don’t even indulge in such practices like how are NSFW artists who literally draw fictional characters rather than real life people involved in this whole mess and how can one country dictate everyother countries spending habits baffles me tbh. Like Japan has JCB so Japanese and some Asian countries who offer JCB don’t have to worry about these regulations. I feel pixiv fanbox will also have to create a point system or add other options for people to subscribe Because out of all the subscription from Japan only they are the only ones who dont have one. Even toratoracoins suspended buying coins directly using VISA and Mastercard today. Now we have to use Either bitcash jp or otaku cash literally every NSFW site from Japan are closing their doors to international customers as the months go b and only time will tell till those regulators find out the point system too.

That's not true, we literally are seeing Japanese site being influenced by western policies, of course the Japanese themselves are worry, since these sites Fantia, Fanbox etc etc wants to cater to a western audience, and the reason they want to cater to the west is that Japanese economy is no longer what it used to be. Now if China suddenly deregulates porn, then maybe western policy is less influencial, but I certainly don't see pinko starts liking porn anytime soon

Step 2: Download translate Web Pages extention if you have firefox or google chrome and install it

Step 3: Got to toracoin website and activate the extention (The icon that looks like google translate) so you can see the website in english

Step 4: Click the section where it ask you to link your fantia to toratora

Step 4: Go to Toracoin's "Pay with Bitcash" section and select the points you paid for. In my case i paid 1000yen/points. Agree with all the terms and it will direct you to the bitcahs jp website

Step 5: Input the hiragana code you got from seagm (a string of japanese characters shown under "PIN") and purchase you toracoins. In my case 1000 toracoins

So yeah it works

This bitcash method is 30 to 20 percent cheaper compared to the crazy markup prices that otakumode is displaying
for anybody that uses playasia, they also sell bitcash too. the only difference between them and seagm is that playasia's price is up by $1.

I'm just hoping MC/Visa don't drop Pixiv, since their only alternative payment option is Japanese convenience store payments. I support a bunch of artists who only offer stuff on Fanbox, so that would be a huge pain with no workable alternative. At least with Fantia and DLsite there are third-party options.

It seems that this whole issue with credit card companies stems from a lawsuit in 2022 in california. Before credit card companies could not be liable for selling porn since all they are doing is processing the payment. But this case although not closed seems to have caught some steam and is likely to be won. Essentially credit card companes were sued because they coud not stop the sale of UA porn on pornhub and the person affected seems to be winning the case. Ever since then they have made several regulation within each company thanks mainly to this one singular lawsuit from america which in turn affected every NSFW creators. There is also a standord study that recently came out that was shown in the american embassy in japan to several lawmakers and leaders in regards to regulating the corn industry. So yeah it seems alot of these stores are limiting or completly cutting off there international customers due to these regulatins made by the US specifically and unfortunately none of us can apply for JCB cards.

I got this info from the article below its in japanese but ive summarised what they have said above
The moral of the story is nuke California.
