This all seems to be a theatre, because most actors participating in "step sister" kind of porn aren't actually step-relatives. The same with "teacher-student" porn: the actors mostly are neither teachers nor students. I suspect it's the same with "husband and wife" videos, too.

The idea of this, as far as I understand, is to make some fantasies illegal.

View on HN

It's simulating incest since they can't do it without the step- prefix.

I presume Tom and Jerry should also be banned for the horrifying violence they show children...

One of these is a cartoon the other is two people having sex on camera. Try to be a little more honest here

Better example then: I assume the TV series 24 will be banned for glorified depictions of torture and violence. Real actors portraying torture as an effective investigation method for high-stakes anti-terror investigations, despite being illegal both in the setting and in real life

Amazing that someone here understood what I was saying with perfect clarity, I was really struggling to believe that the parent did not understand.

So a cartoon depicting incest would be ok?

In your opinion, a totally realistic AI-generated porn should be treated more like "cartoon" or like "two people having sex on camera"?

Not an expert but my uninformed assumption would be that there's simply more demand for "step-sibling" porn than there is for "sibling" porn.

No, I think it's because of VISA / Mastercard. They have a list of what kind of porn you can sell.

The number one porn site on the internet does not take a credit card to access.

Don't they have an ad-free premium version you can pay for via credit card?

There probably isn't. But actual incest is risky and (often) illegal, therefore lots of porn sites disallow videos depicting it, therefore producers avoid it.

So it‘s not simulated incest.

So what? I honestly don't get the issue. It's pretend.

When sex is taboo our brains will often associate the two things and we end up enjoying the taboo-ness. Incest is a big taboo, so it's sex with extra taboo slathered on it. People will want to fantasize about it. It's how brains work. As long as it's in the realm of fantasy I don't think there's ANY issue.

I'll go further and say that if two consenting adult sibling want to have sex it shouldn't be anyone's business but their own. It's not the state's job to decide that they aren't allowed because it makes the rest of us uncomfortable.
