Fantia implements absolute censorship rule.
IMPORTANT NEWS:
Japanese Fantia creators need to censor new and past works or face dire penalties. One of them is the authorities getting notified.
For those unaware of Fantia as a site, its similar to Patreon for artists to post their work and get paid for
It was announced on May 19, so
they've only got the remaining 5 days to revise their past works
・Requests to revise the relevant content, immediate takedown, or deletion
・Freezing or closure of the fan club if no improvements are made
・Disclosure and reporting of log information to police or other relevant authorities if serious legal violations are suspected
The latest change is causing many artists to just delete all their old works just to be safe
At this time its unknown fully why this is happening from what I can gather. I'll be following this situation
The only thing we do know is that Article 175 of the Penal Code is involved in it.
However in the recent years a d especially in the last few months. Banks and Payment Processors have been getting involved with declining lawful payments to Japanese Creators.
Even though we don't know if this is then causing this, its very suspicious its happening to Japanese art again.
And I am also afraid if other platforms like pixiv and dl site also followed this. It will ruin so many artworks, games and doujins.
