I remember a VICE article from a decade ago picked up the trend and some people on neogaf attributed the sudden rise in popularity to the Lannisters in GoT. It made sense back then since the show and the spike in viewership for the genre both happened around the same time.
I’ll be glad to see the day when the front page isn’t 70% step-fantasies.
I always wondered why each and every video highlights the “step-” part.
Is it not to be caught promoting incest, or is it because actors look obviously too different to be related?
First one. Before folk got oversensitive, that content had no “step-” in it xD
I see :)
Deleuze & Guattari would argue step-fantasies are a byproduct of modern psychology’s perspective of “sanity” being founded on Oedipalism.
Neat, a D&G namedrop in the wild.
It’s a byproduct of divorce rates and mixed families.
