discussion Does step-"incest" kills the fetish for you?

[Tigerdiamonds]

Totally, it's not even taboo, your babies will be fine.

 

[Captain Panda]

Ah the old landlady/roommates switcheroo

 

[TimeFlex]

It does take the "immersion" out for me quite a bit. Usually it's pretty obvious of what kind of relationship a game or video is trying to convey and then trying to explicitly shoehorn "step-" into the dialogue usually just feels a bit comical. Either commit or don't.

I agree I hate games that go the step route when everything else leads to them being real. I mean I don't mind Step-incest when done right, but most of the time it seems really forced and doesn't make sense.

Its half-assing the fetish. I get the legal nonsense companies need to play around for live porn, but for games and such? I just don't get it.

 

[Karamchad]

"step" anything is cowardly

 

[abdoaltreke]

Yes for me

 

[hooloo1]

Yes it really kills the mood ,I mean speaking for real life incest ( that would be disgusting ) but why do they have to spoil it for games as well ?

 

[hooloo1]

"step" anything is cowardly

If Step the fetish is gone !

 

[hooloo1]

Not at all. If anything, having a new hot girl move in with you (choose your fetish between step-mom, step-daughter, and step-sis) is a great fantasy.

It is ok they way you put it ,but why does it have to be called incest ?

 

[Jatoseju23]

Yes. Do it right or avoid the fetish.

 

[SirBanana]

Especially when the "incest" is a driving point and a main area of contention between them in the story and they are only step-siblings.

 

[User_146337]

Unfortunately yes it kinda ruins it.
I fully understand why they do it, but it does lower the interest by a lot.

 

[anon515]

Only time I have not seen the "step" shit not killing a game, is when it is acknowledged properly and integrated into the story such as in being able to marry the LI or at least talking about it

 

[Seo In-guk]

I almost don't care about that, it's time to play like this, it's true that there is a i-patch but I don't put it on because I don't need it and if the game comes built-in, it's time to play like that.

 

[manporn37]

It seems kinda half assed to make a "step" incest game imo

 

[impisi]

It's kind of pointless and often defeats the whole purpose or plot of the game, 99% of the time it's just there so the dev doesn't get kicked off whatever subscription service they're on.
On par with "I can't believe my [LANDLORD] is so hot, I haven't seen her in years!"

 

[Pantherdox]

I mean if it's the ONLY choice it doesn't particularly kill it for me, BUT it isn't as spicy as the real deal.

It is a very cop out attempt to just dodge the taboo sanctions, but then again. Degeneracy and Taboos (even in all adult media) can only go too far in some areas.

You could say step-incest is only a gateway for people to the real deal.

 

[Toakabi]

the only thing worse is landlady/roommates

 

[Sparto106]

"Step" is too much for people without the fetish but not enough for people with the fetish. Literally the worst of both worlds.

 

[ElCrit]

I feel like issue around "step-X" for me is: the writing. IF the story is about and actual step-X relation-> great! lots of story potential . when the "step-X" feels inserted like with "landlady/roommate" to just dodge censorship I prefer the game post patch.

that said: if MC gets a step(or true) sibling/parent, I dont like it if that is their "title" or "relation" in "normal" conversations . the whole "oh no! step bro, I'm stuck in the washing machine" just feels so fake over "oh no! *MC name*, I'm stuck in the washing machine". same with a parent relation, ether use mom/dad or their name. I got a step-mom at 11 years old, now 25 years later I never once have called her "Step mom" since my mom is still around I have always called
my step mom by her name.

I think its been popularized by porn here they repeat the relation to make sure that "taboo" gets checked by the viewer even if they skip to the action/cultured part of the vid.
only time a step relation ship should be pointed out is when it is brought is during introductions or to bring it up as an issue.
