you know you fucked up when the most conservative government that censors everything tells you that you went too far.

Take a quick look at DLsite and Pixiv, Japan hardly censors anything other than pixelation of specific body parts. If anything, it feels like the west is heading towards much more intense censorship.

They take what censorship they do have incredibly seriously, though. To the point that many Japanese companies stopped selling uncensored versions of their games in the West because their domestic audience was using VPNs to buy them and that was enough to get the government on their asses.
Even the possibility of Japanese users bypassing censorship was enough to put them in a worse situation than the West is currently in with payment processors.

it’s an association, not the government.

true, but the fact that it is even allowed to exist in Japan in the first place says a lot.
