Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

In this case, it's the chain convenience stores (FamilyMart, 711, Lawson). They handle cash anyway and can be found nearly everywhere in Japan.
So presumably they wire the money to the online retailer. Could they refuse to do business with a particular seller?
Presumably they in fact use a payment processor rather than interacting directly with the business' bank, and that payment processor if it's not something like MasterCard anyway, will still have huge power.
I only used them and don't know how it's arranged internally lol. I also don't know any instances of convenience stores refusing to do business due to moral reasons. R18 magazines are sold directly in convenience stores, so there's that.
For more questionable stuff, people just buy virtual currency on e.g. DMM. It's like gift cards or Steam balance.
