Shame Free Gaming #1: Why are Incest Games so popular?
From Summertime Saga to Milfy City, the Incest theme remains one of the most controversial, yet enduring, flavors. Joining us is developer, Lockheart, as we talk about the history of this flavor and how platforms like Patreon struggle to juggle censorship, discrimination, and trying to stay in business.

Just finished MILFY City really fun game I’m looking for something similar
I noticed that compared to the beta episodes, this is about 30–50% lower in volume. (I had to turn my mixer up from 3/10 to 5/10). To clarify, I could hear the guest pretty fine.
Looks like there was a significant wave of bans today on Patreon....
It started a few days ago. We'll just have to see how far it goes.
oh and i just wanted to say that i disagree that there is a power imbalance in incest all of the time no matter the context. just my opinion
Hey I've tried listening to this latest podcast about 3 times and the audio is very crackly. Using Firefox on android. Normally audio is solid on the files found on patreon. Will this ep be put on in the normal way, or are we avoiding having the file on here?
Thanks for the feedback. The podcast will be available on multiple platforms. I'm thinking even YouTube. I'm just not sure what to do about video.
About Dating My Daughter, it isn't available on Patreon, this due to their policy, but it is on subscribestar
I'm not sure Patreon would approve me linking to a game they banned.
There's incest in Being a DIK?
Not as far as I can tell. However we do talk about the game in the podcast. Hence the links.
awesome episode. i'm looking forward to more interviews with developers. i wish i could better articulate why i like the incest flavor (and i'm talking real incest, not this step family nonsense, although i know why devs take that route). i mean i could probably go into it but i don't want Patreon to get angry.
Thanks! Wish me luck with our overlords.
So I actually had a conversation with a therapist about this, or something closely related. Apparently, humans develop subconscious feelings of sexual attraction for their family members because they're familiar. It's easier for us to explore subconsciously these complicated feelings as children. Again, I cannot stress enough usually this is just subconscious and as a child. However, it does appear to be natural.
I would elaborate on this...having played a lot of AI-generated, tavern-style roleplay scenarios over the past year, I was a bit shocked to find the one which flowed most smoothly and naturally was the stepsister character. But it was a clearly different dynamic from the rest: essentially launching from a base of familiarity, ready acceptance and largely unconditional love, while also allowing for a level of mutual teasing and trash-talking that the more standard romantic scenarios had no latitude for. Given the fraught nature of the dating scene these days especially, it's not difficult to see why this sort of fantasy has such a ready audience now.
I like incest games. I think they are popular because they mix forbidden love (or sexual attraction), sharing that sin and corruption flavors because one of them is reluctant to the idea.
I'm curious to see how Patreon responds to me talking about this subject. I hope that they feel that I am compliant with their ever changing guidelines.
Going to be honest... the incest theme doesn't turn me on but the way the 'landlady' 'roommate ' dialogs are implemented are so awful they don't make sense and it hurts my brain
Do you kiss your landlady with that mouth?
