Ok, I was kinda click-baiting here; I like incest as a plot point for the MC. My main issue, and the thing I wanted some feedback on, is when allowing incest means the MC's friends start getting into the family business. Incest that you are a willing participant in is titillating because it is "wrong": the scandal adds spice (imo). But that gets ruined when a) people find out and are totally cool with it (making it no longer exciting because there is no more taboo); b) every third person you meet just so happens to also be committing incest (making it unoriginal); and/or c) your "friend" has been thirsty for the wincest but you've been chasing their mom/sister/cousin yourself (making them both a rival and a sick bastard - how did we even become friends? This town ain't big enough for two sick bastards, dammit!). C) is extra bad if they actually succeed, because it taints whomever they manage to pull as well.
In regards to that last one, c), I find this especially offensive. I don't want to engage in an NTR debate, it's generally pointless as far as I've seen. But if I've made overtures to a character and then, because they got horny for me they decide "What the hell, I like my son/sibling's best friend, that's basically the same as liking my son/sibling, let's bang them too!" - I find it disgusting. It is not sexy to watch incest I had no part in, and it makes whomever I was pursuing in the relationship seem icky to me. There is no "friend" I am willing to help commit incest and it disinclines me from romancing the girl if she is shown to even consider it (though admittedly I may still go for her... uh, for her sake, to save her. Yeah, that's why. It's for her ).
I have plenty of examples of incest games (and I'm sure you all can think of even more) where you meet someone and what do you know? They also diddled daddy! They also enjoy banging their brother! Or on the flip side, they've been pining after their mother too (and generally yours as well, the assholes)! And what wouldn't they give for a side of sister with their main course? Please, stop this. It fundamentally undermines the appeal of incest (at least as I understand it). If you banging your relatives is ordinary, or even just treated as ordinary, then THE SEX IS ORDINARY. It's not special anymore. It's not a taboo relationship. Kink destroyed. Game over.
What do you guys think? This is why I loathe characters like Bacon in Timestamps and James in Sisterly Lust - I'm supposed to like them, maybe even help them, but they undermine a key kink of the entire game (big thanks to Sisterly Lust for letting me tell James he's foul and to knock it off - yeah I'm a hypocrite, sue me)! It's why I started checking out of Dating My Daughter - Graham and his girl were important plot-wise (even if I only managed to tolerate them), but once some random lawyer in Donutstan (or wherever they are in Chapter 2) randomly fucks his niece too just because Wincest Hooray, it cheapened the fundamental premise of the game. Why was this relationship even a big deal in the first place if everyone else is doing it? Lastly, in the game that prodded me to make this rant (Family Matters), there's a girl who's having lesbian sex and just casually tosses in that she lost her virginity to her father - and THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. She brings this up in TWO SEPARATE SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS and neither time does it even slow the situations down. Nobody bats an eye. Come on! I get suspension of disbelief, and PLOT over plot, but incest is wincest because it's a rare, scary, difficult-to-manage secret special relationship NO-ONE BUT YOU AND THE RELATIVE WOULD UNDERSTAND. And to make a harem out of it takes even more skill and has even more exciting risks involved. Right? Is that not what makes it hot?
tl;dr: I would like the incest in incest games to be unique to relationships the MC forms, not widespread or widely accepted. If it is not, it cheapens the appeal imo. Thoughts?
