discussion the decline of good family taboo games

[User_111574]

As a foreigner right? To my understanding Chinese citizens using VPNs are likely to be investigated, even random Weibo texts are scanned, I'm pretty sure this is one of those gaijin passes? I could be wrong, no interest in visiting China, so may be misunderstanding.

Yes, all users of prohibited resources are being shot there. If I'm not mistaken, from anti-aircraft guns.

That would be a minister of some sort from North Korea. China wouldn't waste the $ on such silliness.

True way to excessive and costly. A cheap bullet is better for the bottom-line.

Or you know they can bill for anti-aircraft guns, use the bullets instead, and pocket the rest.

Rampant corruption at it's finest.

Ah yes, also heard that locals were micro chipped to detect encrypted protocols which guide the rounds, amazing technology

Pretty sure in NK the family of the minister in question would have been deemed subversives or guilty by association and sent to a labour camp.

I think that it takes more effort than normal for these themes. So maybe devs aren't willing to?

 

[yobnis13]

you're right, a few years ago there were several times more games on this topic

 

[JackCayman]

I think most of the new ones probably change the relationship between characters so that it does not include any actual taboo.

I think if anything the effort would be less since you don't have to create a separate home for each LI (where you want the MC to visit them).

If anything I would suspect those that aren't worried about being booted off Patreon are also tired of being limited by the constraints inherent in a family based AVN. There is so much more story telling opportunity when you can take random people and smash their lives together.

Fundraising platforms force developers to stay within many legal and moral boundaries. Hence, less and less "immoral" content

If the current battles with the credit card companies and Collective Shout are won, then I see the genre getting a new breath of life. on a side note, does anyone else like the game Family Venture

 

[podllboq]

This decline of quantity (and, some can argue, quality) of family taboo games started way before this Collective Shout/payment processors thingy. I suppose initially there was a limited number of story tropes to use and it got exhausted inside and out, hence a reduced number of new and worthy games.

Some creators still manage to find interesting taboo/fetish combos or plot devices, like in "My Bimbo Dream" or "A Very Full House", but that's a rarity these days. Perhaps there are more interesting crossings of subgenres that can produce a good incest game, but those are waiting for exploration.

it's a shame really all we get now is ai slop and the occasional anime look game that gets dropped after 2 updates

It's not my fetish, but it's not a criminal offense in my country. Most of us don't give a damn about relationships within a single family, unless we are talking about relationships with family members who have not reached the "age of consent". In my country, it's 16 years old. Then there is a risk of getting a prison sentence for child molestation. As for the various kinds of wokies, they are very disliked here. I am a member of the Communist Party of my country, and at the same time, the ideology of wokie causes in me the strongest rejection. These are not leftists. These are pseudo-leftists. They have replaced the concept of class struggle for the rights of certain minorities.

That reminds me of the founder of the communist party where I'm from. He started it in the 70's but left it in 2014 when they added feminism to its charters. According to him feminism was a bourgeois middle class thing and not part of class struggle. I gotta say I respect him, that left is all but gone today with all the woke stuff and identity politics. The real left is no more.

It's prob the most replicated genre and gets too repetitive
Like how the Isekai genre is dead in the water cuz of the lack of originality and its just a copy and paste

You may be surprised that even in Red China, VPNs are in full bloom. Judging from my experience, I visit there 2-3 times a year. The question arises - where is more freedom on the Internet - in your UK or in communist China?

I am sorry I had not read this before now... I like your question... It reminds me of something that happened to me. I know this is long but read through it to the last little bit...

I got divorced in 2013. While she and I were separated, I met a young Russian woman attending an art college in Atlanta. We actually never went out, but remained friends on social media. (my space, I believe) Months later, I posted that my ex and I were officially over after 23 years. The girl sent me a message telling me she and her bf just broke up, and I should come see her in Vladivostok, RU. We chatted. I was on a 30-day LOA from work. I said, "Why not?". Sent my passport to the Russian Embassy to get a tourist visa. Paid 150 bucks to get it rushed and sent back overnight to me. 5 days after she said come see her, I was sitting on a Korean Air flight to Incheon Airport in Seoul. Then a connecting flight to Vladivostok. Now that is how.. Here is the interesting part. Her mother was a biologist, and her father an engineer. They were in an arranged marriage that actually fell crazy in love with each other. They still lived in the big apartment they got from the government when Vladivostok was closed off to anyone not from there, including Russians, during the Cold War years. After a week of us barely leaving the hotel, she took me to meet her parents and get a real home-cooked Russian meal. Her father brought out this homemade samogon (Moonshine) horseradish vodka. We yelled, argued, and told funny stories about the Cold War. He said something to me that has stuck with me every day since that night. He said, "During the Cold War, we knew we were not free. We knew the KGB and different police agencies were monitoring everything we did. They still are, they are just not as bold. What America has done to its people is far worse. They tell you that you are free, and you fight for freedom. When in reality, you are less free than we were during the Cold War. Everything you do is monitored, and you allow it.". I am not trying to be political. I believe this goes right in line with what you asked about the UK and China, internet freedoms. Honestly, I do not believe any place is truly free on the internet. You have monitors on sites, you have AI watching for content postings on the service providers, there are all kinds of ways we are watched on the internet. And I do not believe that any place is truly free on the internet.

He was right, lets see what's happening to Francesca Albanese, she can't have a bank account because the Trump administration blacklisted her.
Now, if you try to pay something with her name as motivation paypal rejects it lol

About the future of internet it's the worst period, in next few years EU citizens will be forced to verify their age everywhere online, US citizens will be forced to verify their age at OS level.
It's a worldwide issue now, I'm hoping for a less dystopic future.

the payment processor are pushing too much, it wont be long until people will stop accepting it
