I'm only wandering in out of context, so I don't know if by "here" you mean this thread specifically, or F95 as a whole. If you meant the latter then I've actually had the opposite experience lately. Often I feel like I can't even mention incest without getting attacked lol. And just to be clear, I don't mean bringing it up constantly, or asking about it in regards to games where it would make no sense whatsoever for it to even be brought up. I mean games where it's heavily teased, but then never actually happens, or a game series where every entry has had an i-patch except the most recent one, and then just inquiring about it in those sorts of cases.
I'm all for "To each their own", and for a long while I have seen the contention between people who like NTR and people who don't, and how many people reside on the extreme ends of that spectrum. And maybe it's only just been in the threads/games that I've just happened to look at recently, but I've seen a lot of people blow their lids over even the briefest of comments and come out on a full force crusade against anyone and anything even related to incest lol. Maybe it was really prevalent for a while, and the people who are not into it at all just got so fed up and tired of constantly hearing about it that now their patience and tolerance for it is just gone?
I don't know. Don't really have a point I guess. Just saw that part of your comment and it made me think of the amount of kink-shaming and attacking I've seen concerning incest. I mean the sheer vitriol isn't quite as intense as some of the more extreme Anti-NTR people can get, but it hasn't seemed that far from it lately lol.
Interesting to read the other end of the spectrum. I was referring to F95 as a whole, and moreover the powers that be - as a test case, Ive seen countless games where the anti ntr crowd comes out in the reviews, (im on the indifferent/ or enjoy cause it adds flavor to a game), just bashing something, meanwhile, ive noticed if I have the slightest criticism of incest content INSTANT mod review post removal - I guess what I'm saying is in my experience while things like ntr are contentious, incest has the most vigorous defenders and will take affront to any perceived criticism - moreover - while devs have to tiptoe around ntr and announce it with a bullhorn, incest themes are regularly rammed into the player without any choice - in summary, I wish incest was given half the sensitivity ntr was (or the opposite, and as long as ntr was in the tag you didnt see these numerous 4th wall warnings about ermugud this choice will result in other guys going after your girl ermagud!).
One of the other posters indirectly touched on one of my chief complaints - seems like theres no games with healthy family relationships - if a mother figure is in the story, there's bound to be some [Peek] /[Dont Peek].
For me, a lot of these critcisms would be solved by games listing a "primary tag" - its common to have a shotgun blast of 20 tags to cover everything, but that doesnt really give the player an idea of the relative weighting - it could have 1 scene pertaining to X tag, while 19 scenes do Y tag - im sure many others like me will play a game at the cost of skipping a scene they're not into, but not the bulk.
