It is known since this age verification has existed for a while now in some regions, it’s only now rolling out globally.

The server owner is the one that marks a server or specific channels as NSFW.

So if you don’t send/visw anything NSFW this won’t impact you.

If you don’t do problematic things you won’t be seen as the problem. The vast majority of tourists aren’t doing anything bad either.

The issue is that there are so, so many tourists coming to Japan that even if only 0.1% of them are bad, that’s still tens of thousands of people, which ends up leaving a dent in absolute numbers regardless.

It’s a hard problem to manage because there will always be a small amount of people misbehaving no matter where in the world you go.
