This is his fault for not going with action visa card. He could've used a Bleach bisa card. He should've stuck with a Sora Ibrahim card. Chihaya>>> all of those Idolmaster characters anyway and she oozes 'Murica.

What police give free meals for false arrests? That's the real question that needs answering.

While I feel sorry for the guy I understand it lol. A grown ass man with a credit card that has high school girls in school uniforms in cartoon form. The generic American who knows fuck all about anime or Japanese culture would call this guy a pervert.

Coming into this thread I expected the card to be classified as child pornography (Idolmaster...). But this? Reenforcing my confirmation bias that the US is a police state. And this is what happens when you visit a police state.

That's the impression I've got time and time again that the US is just a total compensation culture, and I thought here in the UK we were bad at times.

What a rubbish comment, I hope you think the same of three black guys that got profiled in New York the last couple of months for shopping from expensive stuff. Unjustly taking people to jail because reasons and seeing those conducts unpunished both monetary and legally is worse.

I never read about that so I cant comment.

As for this guy this isn't the same by the sounds of it, as the other incident sounds like someone being racially profiled which doesn't apply here. Moreover I have seen on other sites commenting on this story where people who can speak Japanese have said the story from the tweets seems full of holes.
 
Has the "anime girls = pedo" stigma actually entered the mainstream or are people suggesting more that it was "40yo guy with cartoons = pedo"?

Do they have credit cards for other popular video games series'? I wonder if stuff like this is available internationally.

Women (and men) in anime often look quite child like because of the style, but all things considered it looks like they just thought his card was fake. That can happen with any nonstandard card. My wife has a Chase card with all the details on the back instead of the front, and she's had to explain it to a few people before they would accept it.

wouldnt the easiest solution be to, I dont know, just run the card and see if it works first, and then maybe ask for ID if there is any suspicious. Callign the cops, and dealing with them seems like a lot more work to me.

I dont understand how shit like this even happens.
 
This is why my credit cards have pictures of Jesus on them. Best to use them when buying alcohol or sex toys. The cashier usually gets a kick out of it.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Wait, its an official card? I thought it was gonna be one of those Capital One "add your own image" card.
