Nice, thanks. I didn't even consider that the link was still active

Are you using real-debrid by any chance also it's sugokunemui.
Yes I am. Is this a common issue with real-debrid? I hope not, I've definitely downloaded a few TB through them.

GDI 400gb

are all of em dance only vid?
Probably. There are quite a lot of videos in that collection so maybe I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, it's dance only. Mostly Vocaloid/Hololive/Nijisanji

It is something I've noticed with real-debrid, some downloads will get corrupted. I don't know what's the cause either, if you reset the download it'll keep getting corrupted, the only way to fix it I've found is to set jdownloader to use mega directly instead. I don't want to spook you but I would start running an integrity checker over the videos you've downloaded.

I wrote a batch script that does that and I run it over every video I downloaded with real-debrid, there's another tool if you don't want to use the batch script.

It happens pretty rare but often enough that it's annoying.

When I search online for this I can barely find anything about it so I kept thinking it was a me problem, you're the only other person who I've seen who might have the same issue.

It's not baseless, given the recent euphemistic measures seen on dlsite and VISA/Mastercard being disabled soon after, I'm surprised there are even people that think this is about some crazy xenophobia.
Agree, this isn't about xenophobia, it's about legal liability and exposure (as well as general skittishness regarding reputational factors). Given the increasing jurisprudence in western jurisdictions ascribing liability to payment processors and content provision sites for failure to conduct "due diligence", coupled with the heightened regulatory pressures surrounding erosion of online freedoms (things like increasingly aggressive Know-Your-Customer legislation, "online harms" laws and limitations to safe harbour laws), it's pretty clear that payment processors are only going to become more stringent in terms of content policing and cutting off various vendors. It's also possible that there are underwriting factors, but given the platforms were permitted for years, I'm more inclined to think its not a financial risk factor.

It absolutely sucks, but I don't see the global trends reversing anytime in the foreseeable future.

That's fine and all but are you sure it's not simply because their govts are tyrannical? the U.S. has the patriot act which is way more draconian & arbitrary than anything the other nations of the world have done or are doing. The difference is quite vast as well.

Whether you agree with the patriot act or not, remember that it started specifically as a measure to prepare for war. Just as nations like Japan are taking measures. Very stupid measures. Ones that won't help or protect them at all, but measures nonetheless.

I'm quite familiar with the Patriot Act as well as the umbrella of surveillance programs under its aegis, but I don't really think it's playing a role in this particular situation. I'm more inclined to think that the major processors are making decisions based on risk aversion, reputational considerations and a changing legal environment with regard to liability, than to think that the federal executive branch (American or Japanese) are issuing marching orders on something like this. The global payment processing network is closely tied, and there's still massive outflows of transactions in the trillions daily between nations like Japan and the USA. Cutting off adult content platforms hardly seems to bear any strategic value.

Besides, given Japan's economic situation and dependence on the USA, I can't see a Japanese incentive to push something like this. It's totally outside Japan's best interests to become more insular economically. Even at a micro level, I cant imagine that Fantia/DLsite etc. would want to lose a huge chunk of money. Though I could always be wrong.

Edit: Although to your overall point in a more strategic sense- I agree generally. I think a lot of the online harms and online age verification laws (and pressure to create backdoors in secure messaging and encryption) that are either proposed, or already working their way through western legislatures are intended to exercise greater control and surveillance over people. The excuse is pretty much always "for the children" but the effects are way more far reaching.

You are not listening but that's okay. I'm going to focus on the one point I think you may actually properly be interested in;

....given Japan's economic situation and dependence on the USA, I can't see a Japanese incentive to push something like this. It's totally outside Japan's best interests to become more insular economically.
Bear with me, I promise I am going somewhere with this but come on a journey for a bit.

Normally you'd be absolutely right but the yen has been spiraling into what is now inevitable hyper-inflation. The diet was attempting yield curve control (/facepalm) which I suspect you know about and understand that represents the last desperate effort of a nation to stave off a collapse after attempting to monetize the debt, I.e. literally the formula to cause hyper-inflation, is what they were doing.... so they are seriously boned. Doubly so because the yen is directly tied to the dollar in a way that no other nation is and USD is itself suffering spiraling inflation as well, though not as bad as the yen. Economically, it's a wash for Japan.

I'm not sure how aware you are of the military tensions across asia over the past few years but I'd say a large scale war is guaranteed to happen within the next 5 years. Various nations have been militarizing & saber-rattling over this & that. Relevant point; JAPAN DOES NOT HAVE A PROPER MILITARY. The JSDF is a competent organization but very limited in every way that might make a difference. They rely on the U.S. to defend them, and although the U.S. did build a few new military bases in Japan, something you might not know is that those military centers of operation are woefully understaffed & underfunded [The U.S. has been funneling funds, personnel & military assets to ukraine & israel, to the detriment of Japan] . That has been getting much worse over the past couple of years. Basically, Japan can see the writing on the wall and they realize they're completely fucked.

...

I can't prove it quite yet but I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that Japan is going to sever ties with the U.S. whether by their own will or because the U.S. balkanizes/collapses/etc. but they WILL re-align with their hated enemy Socialist China, & by extension, align with Russia.

They won't have a choice. They'll be facing hyper-inflation, mounting demographic collapse & the military presence that used to protect them will be gone or wildly inadequate for the task at hand.

Bottom line; Japan is fucked. Their current path is not sustainable militarily, economically or politically. They WILL cut a deal with the Chinese to try and salvage whatever little bits they can. This will go hand-in-hand with turning their back on 'the west' in a bunch of different ways and that is what these moves+future similar moves by Japan. You are not wrong but if you see a bit further ahead, you will see that that will change. That is all. You can have the last word.
