You don't have to care.

No matter what you do, someone will think poorly of your actions. You can't please everyone.

Prioritise the things you personally care strongly about and leave the rest to the people who care strongly about those things. If that makes you a bad person, then maybe embrace that you're not perfect, and neither is whoever criticizes you for it.

They have been sanctioning sites like pixiv for years, and last year also were the reason Ken Akamatsu's (Love Hina author) manga archive site for out of print manga was shutdown, and why sites like Melonbooks (one of the largest in japan) only can accept JCB payment now.

Visa and MasterCard have a history of sanctioning anything that has anime and manga adult content, and I'm not talking about loli, just any adult content.

I thought they were moving to closed source entirely which is against the GPL license but I didn't properly read the article it seems.

JCB is a japanese alternative to the American credit card payment processors.

It didn't participate in visa and MasterCard's collusion to boycott and bankrupt manga, anime and art sites.

This is why open source should use the GPL license.

Next do the Happy Science cult and their "spiritual vaccines". I feel sick whenever I see their headquarters in Japan.

It's among the next 3 things on the list. You can expect it in gimp 3.1.0 in 2056

I for one will be looking forward to getting mid-spec PCs dirt cheap.

Who just casually overstays their visa and goes traveling? Overstaying your visa essentially guarantees you'll never be able to renew your visa again in many countries, and is a personal fear of mine.

The husband voted trump, but the wife is the bigger idiot.
