cw: porn and worse
It's extra weird how incest is everywhere in porn. I just assume, with zero evidence, that people are more OK with it and it's being normalised. That by itself isn't as terrible as the potential abuse that it may be leading to.There was some article about it awhile ago, but apparently the one demo that still pays for porn (well, mainstream porn anyway) is into incest, which in turn means the incest stuff tends to have better production value meaning people who aren't into incest watch it too (for free usually) cuz it usually has hotter performers in it. Also I think some of it is just cultural inertia now, incest stuff was popular for a bit and it got meme-ified. I suspect a lot of it is tongue-and-cheek at this point.
I find the alienation and atomization angle interesting too. That average americans are so insular, that there is so little social interaction in most people's daily lives, that "porn scenarios" are too far outside the lived experience of porn watchers.
If you're a young man who has a WFH tech job and does nothing but play video games in your free time, you don't meet women anywhere. If you are under 25 you probably cannot afford to live on your own. The only women you have any interaction with at all are female members of your household. So these incest and pseudo incest videos end up being the only ones that a large number of ~~men~~ the type of people most likely to pay for porn can relate to.
Because they're popular with the kind of people who actually pay for porn, they end up being the most common videos filmed and produced, so they end up being the most likely to be found on free sites.
