Or it could be because people are invested but at the same time detached from their characters in the game. Incest is hot because of the risk but you're not bearing the risk nor do you have ingrained biological feelings of repulsion towards your flesh and blood active when you're dealing with characters you just "met" a few seconds ago.
Yes, but on the other hand, incest games where you cannot name the characters also get a lot of flak. This likely means that people insert not only themselves, but also their relatives in such games. Otherwise there would be no point in having / requesting that feature.
For Cuckoldry I'd say it's different since you're not dealing with ingrained biological feelings but rather psychological issues on part of the man who wishes to see himself humiliated or denegrated as well as genetically replaced. It's up there with self harm and suicidal desires, but such individuals often lack the ability to pursue their fetish, or if they do pursue it fall into complete depravity.
True I guess.
Neither of incest and ntr are popular in irl. Just because 8 people in a room of 10 like incest/ntr does not mean than 80% of the people in the world like it.
I'm not asking the world, I'm asking the room because I have an idea what kind of games are popular here.
ntr/cuck fetishes are one of the more despised/divisive fetishes, in a survey in 2017 ( I'll try to find a link), most the people watching cuckolding porn would never want to get cucked relationship irl.
That's interesting, I hope you find that link.
In fact, there was a survey in 2018 by an adult website (it was PornHub i think) on popularity of fetishes, and the most popular fetishes in the world came out to be anal, footjobs, titjobs followed by mild bondage play.
Sure, but those fetishes are quite vanilla. They are not life changing. If you like (the idea of) anal, you can propose this to your bf/gf, if he/she is not interested you can try to pursuade, if not, then not. And if yes, then yes. Not a big deal either way. Personally I don't get excited by footjobs, but if my gf were into it, I would have no objections either.
Gay/lesbian are a bit on the border I think. Such feelings / relationships are generally accepted at least in Europe / America, but still can give some problems in life. And depending on the circumstances, many people still stay inside the closet.
Incest and cuckolding on the other hand are generally considered unacceptable even if not illegal. Yet they are still very popular, both on this site as well as in real porn. Go to The Pirate Bay and browse porn movies, there are plenty of both incest and cuckolding high in the shared file list. Of course watching that kind of stuff doesn't make people actually want to do it IRL.
Not interested in incest, not interested in cuckolding. both are weird, and harmful to the society/ to yourself.
incest can lead to pollute the genepool, cuckold can lead to break families, damage the personality, It's an extreemly toxic fetish if you get used to.
Of course, but I think that most people can divide the fantasy from the real, like GTA and FPS games.
On the other hand, in many countries, both incest (between consentual adults) and cuckolding is not illegal, so why not go for it?
This is NOT saying that I personally would go for it. Personally I agree with you, the risks are way to great for my tastes.
