Can a domain be regionally blocked?

I have a .host domain that hosts taboo content, not illegal or malicious. I simply added an A record for a subdomain recently and all records stopped resolving in about half the world overnight. I can continue to make record changes, and they update globally in some regions fairly quickly, but for certain regions is is just unresolvable completely. It's been four days since the change so plenty of time to propagate. The registrar claims up and down that they are good and it's not an issue on their end.

To give examples, the domain is not resolving in the US, Ireland, Spain, Germany, India, Malaysia, Australia. It is resolving in Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Denmark, Russia, China, and South Africa, just to name a few.

I have no idea where to go with this. Any ideas?
