We need alternatives to Visa-Mastarcard and all the big payment processors.
These themes, like hypnosis, non-con, etc appear often in Western women's dark fantasy romance novels, and yet when it comes to Japanese content, these processors are going ham in trying to censor it.
Some people are accusing these companies of being racist against Japanese media, as pretty much all the high profile payment processor driven censorship has been hitting the Japanese illustration, manga, and anime market.
But then again, the West had big ones with itch dot io and other places getting censored by payment processor power.
These are not real, and treating fiction with the same level of moral panic as real harm is absurd.
As I said, the payment processor monopoly tracking what cannot be sold won't stop at fiction... It's so beyond dystopian that we have an unelected international conglomerate that's dictating what people can purchase.
And it has already moved beyond fiction. PayPal has frozen accounts of journalists and free speech organizations for "wrongthink", and other restrictions have been applied to 2nd amendment friendly products and services.
Tapas will be closing soon, but you can still read my comics on Webtoons, GlobalComix and Pixiv. If you're only suscribed to Tapas, please consider moving to these other sites instead. Thanks!

I wanted to make a second version of the Torres pic, this time with Vellum Bristol which allowed me to make finer lines, and paint with some of my newer acrylic markers that I was dying to use but wasn't able until now.
Lore-wise, Torres lost his scalp due to an immune system reaction to his metal plates during conversion, not during battle, and decided he wanted to stay like that as an intimidation factor. The remaining mohawk bit is synthetic hair.
