I'll be glad to see the day when the front page isn't 70% step-fantasies.

    Deleuze & Guattari would argue step-fantasies are a byproduct of modern psychology's perspective of "sanity" being founded on Oedipalism.

    I remember a VICE article from a decade ago picked up the trend and some people on neogaf attributed the sudden rise in popularity to the Lannisters in GoT. It made sense back then since the show and the spike in viewership for the genre both happened around the same time.

    Right, the genre predates GoT, the argument at the time was that the show may have contributed to the 178% increase in views from 2014 to 2015 , bringing the genre mainstream.

    I always wondered why each and every video highlights the "step-" part.

    Is it not to be caught promoting incest, or is it because actors look obviously too different to be related?

    First one. Before folk got oversensitive, that content had no "step-" in it xD

    taboo content sells and all you have to do nowadays to make content taboo is add a word to the dialog (that i assume most people are ignoring anyways?)

    i have only had one sex worker as a client during my accounting years and they only stayed a few years as a client, but that is my analysis. it's always a money thing.

    I don't think the dialogue is even affected, it's probably just the titles. At least, some videos are definitely uploaded multiple times with different titles.

    Since the UK either had a proposal to ban, or already have banned incesty porn, I'm guessing the platforms will just provide an option to show the same video under different titles for particular regions and various other targeting, including random a/b testing.
