when it says step anything it ruins the immersion for me i always look for games that have the proper titles in them
also when it says landlady/roommate its even worse
Maybe. But only for those who have a fetish for incest. Personally, I don't care either way. Incest is fine, no incest is fine too, step-incest is also not bad.
I don't absolutely *hate* it like I do with the bullshit "landlady" thing, but I prefer it to be actual sister than stepsister. I can't remember which game it was, but there's one where your dad dies (of course) and then you find out that your dad had a secret family, so you have your mom, your sisters, then your dad's other wife (stepmom?) and her daughters (your half-sisters).
Considering that incest is not my fetish, I don't really care. If the game or VN is interesting, then I enjoy playing games with and without incest with equal pleasure (step incest also belongs to this category). In general, I'm quite omnivorous, I don't understand, for example, the battles around NTR.
I find the whole step-incest is much less a turn off then fucking saying "Landlady" and "Roommate". However I do often prefer something that isnt censored in that and really like when either the creator or someone else makes a patch to decensor things
in porn, having the "step" means it's effectively not incest for me. especially since so much step incest porn is between new step relatives and I don't see anything taboo about strangers finding each other attractive.
Personally as someone who has a fucked up family, its not incest until there is a defined blood relation, like a new younger sibling between step-parent and parent, a marriage does not make it incest. I, personally, prefer full incest in my games but I understand the censorship if it's a public game.
