Recently, many people have been saying that the doujinshi (fan-made adult videos) sellers on FC2 are driving down the adult video (AV) industry.
Is this really true? Of course, that's not the case. It's true that many doujinshi (adult video) sellers have made a fortune, but their output is still far behind that of the adult video industry. Moreover, they have become targets of Japanese police enforcement. The sellers recently arrested weren't involved in serious offenses involving minors, but rather for not censoring their work...
This means that as long as you don't censor, you risk being arrested. But frankly, even with the Japanese government cracking down and FC2 imposing restrictions on uploading content, these sellers will continue to exist. The reason is simple: there's a "need":
Because many people want to see their uncensored amateur selfies, and also, many "actresses" rely on this for a living.

The actresses mentioned here aren't the AV actresses we're familiar with (although many retired actresses have been captured by them), but rather so-called "doujin AV actresses." Typing keywords like "doujin AV" or "doujin model" into Twitter will find a huge number of accounts, clearly indicating that there are quite a few people in this industry, and they are eager for work opportunities...
So the first question about this industry is, why do so many girls want to make films?


Some might say, "Of course, it's all about the money!" Indeed, who would do this for a male porn star on camera if it weren't for the money? However, through the confession of this "Hoshina (せいな) @元単体AV)," you'll understand why some people choose to shoot doujinshi AVs or want to collaborate with uncensored AV companies:
This actress is older, 42 years old. She previously filmed three works under the name "Akiyama Shihori" with the company Center Village. From her post, you can roughly understand why some people give up perfectly good AVs to collaborate with FC2 sellers—first, some people can't accept the demands of AV companies; for example, some don't want to show their faces, and some don't want to cooperate with their filming standards (some actresses always get more extreme projects because of their appearance); second, some girls just can't get into the AV industry, but have no other work and urgently need income, so they have to use this method to earn money with their bodies…
Perhaps some people will ask, then why don't they just sell themselves in the sex industry?
Yes, some of them are indeed in the sex industry. Being a doujinshi (adult video) actress doesn't mean you can't do other things. The last point is what Akiyama Shihori mentioned: because she doesn't live in Tokyo and doesn't want the long journey, if you're willing to go to Nagano Station to film with her, she's not only willing to show her face, the content is negotiable, and the fee is discounted to only 80,000 yen (4,500 RMB) per film.

This is why I say that not only do movie fans need the works supplied by FC2 sellers, but many actresses also rely on them for work. So even if some sellers are arrested, this industry will continue to operate smoothly…
