You are right about japanese AV base being mainly for japanese. However I think you misunderstood "don't care" with "active prevention"
When you don't care about your neighbour's dog coming over to pee on your yard , it means you don't care , however if you are unhappy with that fact that your neighbour's dog always coming over to your yard to pee , you build a fence , wall or set up some kinda barrier to prevent it from entering your premise.
If I am wrong, which I am on lots of things, then I always wish to know why I am wrong.
Can you tell me what is the JAV studios "actively preventing" when it come to the international markets?
Because given it large catalog/genre/topic/subjects of porn, it would seems they don't allow western/international sentiments to prevent them on anything.
DMM now prohibit any non japanese IP from accessing their page , and most of the japanese AV label website while allow access, prevent any preview video playing from a non japanese IP. This has long pass the realm of "don't care" to active prevention.
This is more than active prevention or don't care, and more of following the law. Which surprisingly to some, but not me, JAV and it's studios have respect for.
Few, if any studios will break the law. They know the consequences can be very, very, bad.
It's simply them being smart, and respecting the hand given to them. Still, everyone has a few mavericks, but the major studios and websites aren't dumb to take risk on an "international market" that doesn't account for anything.
R18 was a good site for international JAV sales and R18 was DMM's arm for international sales. I used the same login for both of them and have the same library, so I know they are the same company, but now r18 is dead and all my library is gone. Even if your main home base is japanese , there is no reason not to earn international profit
Yes to it all. It's always good to seek revenue elsewhere.
But lets not kid ourselves and pretend the international market not being there is hurting JAV sales.
JAV has always survived without it and its surviving now without it.
This is why internationally, JAV continue because its largest consumer base has been, and will be Japanese.
They simply spends the most all.. year... long.
R18 and the rest will never come close to those profits.
The decision to dropped/banned/ or whatever was rather quick because they simply can be afforded to
lose them and not be hurt.
. For a digital website there is little overhead so why the sudden shutdown , and left with a "japan only" access?
Its common knowledge that Japan have alot of fetish sex club which ban "gaijin" or foreigners. You really don't want any horny gaijin sjws calling the police because he thinks the 20"+++++++" year old woman in school uniform should be in middle school instead of being exploited. Again the club are for japanese , they don't really care for foreigners but if you don't want any trouble so ban them. Simple.
A horny gaijin or any foreigner chances of closing any business in Japan is quite laughable.
What most likely will happen is that foreigner will call the police, the police will take a complaint, tell the
foreigner to leave, the business will banned said foreigner and everything return to normal.
As an old fart and example , i can assure you Attackers Label doesn't always ca.
And all sleep / drug/ drunk n/c now must include segments where the actresses are strangely enjoying and moaning while still knocked out. This is really not the case in the earlier years n/c JAV incapacitation plots.
Actually you're wrong here. I have old videos in my collection of said genre,
where moaning and stillness is present. Its not a new phenomenon. It's simply up to direction and the actresses ability to act.
I do heard that someone mention this is a genre that become popular by itself and has nothing to do with SJWs. But in literotica.com

"To that end, we
DO NOT publish works of any type featuring the following content:"
...
"Ravishment/non-consent fantasies in which the “victim” receives no thrill or enjoyment from the acts, or is seriously and/or permanently physically harmed/abused/maimed/killed."
It's funny, because I used to visited that site for its granny stories and it had many subject matter that
"breaks" its own rules lol
It's like working and having to sign those PDAs and/or contracts which said we will act accordingly, but we're all
human and we all do shady stuff to a lesser extent. Shady stuff might include borrowing a pen and not returning it,
or taking a few ketchup, etc. The bad stuff I don't have to mention.
Again if you want hard evidence or statistics on sjw affect japanese AV , sorry , what i can offer is only my observations and opinion. I am really not an authority on this and neither i think i am going on doctorate research on this.
We all observed things differently. And with millions of JAV titles, no one has strong evidence of anything except the studios.
I appreciate your insight.
