The headline makes it sound like they banned the whole step porn genre, which seemed super ridiculous to me too.
Buried in the article is says:
…possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime
It’s also really efficient, setting up the entire relationship with just the word “step-bro”. Plus, it’s taboo enough for the characters to say “we shouldn’t”, but not SO taboo that the viewer thinks they actually shouldn’t.
It’s also probably relatable to a significant portion of the audience. I wager a fair number of people have experienced a relationship or wanted a relationship stemming from that situation.
Through no choice of yours or theirs, suddenly you are spending a lot of time with someone. From some perspective ‘relatives’, but pratically speaking you have a stranger who is your age move in and you are both 15 to 17 and things happen.
I had a not-blood relation suddenly happen when we were both sixteen, and we ended up dating for a bit. A bit more removed than ‘siblings’, but close enough to spend a lot of time together.
I’m sure that’s partly true. In my experience, that’s just most of what’s tagged as “reality”, so any other situation with anything resembling a storyline takes digging. No wonder I couldn’t get into it.
I think a subset of people like it, and the rest tolerate it. So, if you label every porn video as step-someone with step-other, you serve both audiences.
What I have a hard time wrapping my head around are scenarios where step-dad, step-mom, step-sis, and step-bro are all going at it in the same scene. Under what circumstances do these four people live together?
It’s easy marketing. Convenient situation, taboo, but not too taboo. The line always seems to be “but you’re my stepsister” “yeah, STEPsister, not real”. So it’s wrong, but not that wrong. The multiple people scenario is just ramping the taboo up, but not worrying about relationships after the video. Real polygamy is complicated and probably not as successful as porn depicts it. (and that’s ignoring the step situation altogether)
I say probably only because I’m sure there are some out there that work. But to have three or more people in a long-term working relationship without costs has to be rare. Just having something like a work relationship between a few people can be touchy, and that’s without feelings and sex involved.
That’s my understanding of why it’s so common too.
Though I suppose there’s some reason for concern, if you’re really opposed to the concept of it. I view it sorta on the same spectrum as things like ‘facials’ and how wildly popular those have seemingly become – a filming norm from a long time ago that mostly aimed to show/prove that the guy had cum, turns into something people do regularly because they’d seen it so much in porn. Same for things like anal, or many of the more mainstream fetishes/content – it becomes largely normalized by its prevalence in porn.
Sorta like how that Dingus guy, Mayor in Ohio, got caught sniffing his step daughters panties. Dude prolly thought it’d be the start of a raunchy good time, where she catches him and then admits her lust for his old flabby limp dick dad bod.
I never understood this whole step porn thing, but this is ridiculous lol

It cheap to make. The “story” is simple but explains why these two people live in the same house without it being incest.

it’s porn. it’s not supposed to make any sense anymore than Marvel movies are. it’s fantasy
I think I understand what you’re saying. I hadn’t considered that the steps may be from different multiverses.

The problem there isn’t the porn, it’s morons thinking porn is representing reality.
Yeah.
I don’t get it, it’s weird, but is it 5 years in jail weird? No.
it’s taboo. that’s all there is to get.
taboos are sexy.
