Why is incest in anime so prevalent compared to western entertainment?
It's hardly prevalent, honestly, unless its in hentai. Even then its still just as popular as incest fantasy in irl porn.

It's literally 4chan the hollywood dream based satire.

1 of the 4 operas that make up Wagner's Ring Cycle (Die Walkure) is all about incest. Explains Seigfreid being an idiot in the next one.
>>136281787
>moving goalposts
>>136281787
As opposed to western mainstream works?
>>136281234
Yosuga no Sora's an eroge, so
>>136282071
>>136281787
Almost every single harem out there has an imouto in it.
>>136282071
The term you're looking for is visual novel.
>>136282116
They're usually very minor characters.
>>136280990
Japan needs an increase in younger procreation in order to fund pensions.
>>136282116
How many end in incest?
Is it even a harem if it doesn't have a harem ending?
>>136282118
a visual novel with sex scenes, ergo an eroge
>>136282141
>>136282167
It might not be the focus, but is certainly a theme.
>Is it even a harem if it doesn't have a harem ending?
Really now?
>>136282116
Non blood related.
>>136282116
Nisekoi
any otome game
>>136281158
Honestly as a whole its more of the incest subtext rather than flat out incest that is prevalent throughout anime/manga/LNs/etc. as opposed to our western media which has very little of either.
>>136282214
No, it's a visual novel. An eroge is different.
>>136282371
care to elaborate
>>136282236
Really.
Unless there is a consensual romantic relationship involving the protagonist and at least two other females, it should not be considered a harem.
The meaning has warped in its application to anime and manga.
>>136282441
Not all visual novels include erotic content. Not all eroge (lit. "erotic games") are formatted like a visual novel.
>>136282441
I think eroge is a genre for VNs, don't really know technicality
>>136282371
>Many visual novels also qualify as eroge, an abbreviation of 'erotic game'. These games feature sexually explicit imagery that are accessed by completing certain routes in the game, most often depicting the game's protagonist having sex with one of the game's other characters. Like other pornographic media in Japan, scenes depicting genitalia are censored in their original Japanese releases, only becoming uncensored if the game is licensed outside Japan. Certain eroge titles receive re-releases which exclude explicit content in order to be sold to a younger audience, such as ports to consoles or handheld systems where sexually explicit content is not allowed, and storylines referring to aforementioned sex scenes are often omitted from adaptations into other media, unless that media is also pornographic in nature, such as a hentai anime.
Eat shit.
>>136280990
Why are these same incest threads so prevalent on /a/?
>>136282478
good thing I didn't say otherwise
>>136281314
>Mother's Day
>>136282512
Because half of /a/ thinks incest is hot, despite not having a sibling
>>136282246
That's irrelevant, it's a device the author use when he doesn't want trouble.
>>136282248
Otome games doesn't count, obviously.
So you provided a whole one example so far.
I know there are more than a few out there, but from the oversaturation of the industry with harems, the great, crushing majority has an imouto/nee-san in it.
>>136282442
Sure, whatever, but the term is consolidated already m8, get over it.
>>136282512
Newfags, anon. Newfags.
>>136280990
Because Japanese are weirdos
>>136282571
>the term is consolidated already m8, get over it
Nah, I think I'll continue to use it in the manner which I find correct and explain to others my reasoning.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
>>136282640
Dude, that's racist
>>136280990
Because it's become a massive fetish for otaku, so now every anime pandering to otaku has to have incest along with lolis, panties, tsunderes, etc.
Ever since reading Mega Milk, I've wanted to fuck the shit out of my cousin.
![Kiss-x-SIS-kiss-x-sis-35746580-1280-720[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/yGzVTJS.png "Kiss-x-SIS-kiss-x-sis-35746580-1280-720[1].png")
Because we all want to bang our hot sister or cousin. Yet social norms tell us not to.
Though if you have an identical twin sister like I do. You should just go for it. It is basically really awesome masturbation.
>>136282745
seriously, who talks like that
>>136282555
I have an imouto, but the trick here is not self-inserting as the MC.
I know it's hard for some people, but if done, incest becomes an irrelevant tag.
Alfter all, it's not my sister that's being nailed over there, so I can fap to my heart's content.
>>136282811
The trick is not blogging and realizing 2D is not the same as 3D.
>>136280990
--Keeping the genes in the family is occasionally necessary and honorable for high born families in order to maintain the integrity of blood lines. From this historical reality descends an atavistic desire to fuck ones sibling.
--The effect of social mores governing family and sibling relations in Japan is to induce sexual fantasies concerning incest more frequently than do Western social mores.
--The likelihood of incestual story lines in the West is proportional to the intensity of the moral upset incest causes. The Japanese just don't get that upset about the very idea of it like we do here.

The royal family of Spain once died out because they inbred until they became sterile.
>>136281314
I didn't I know I wanted this till now.
>>136283831
The prevalence may have to do with incest being a fetish usually among only children, and with japan's declining population there are a lot of single childs.
>>136280990
Because in Japan it doesn't produce Joffrey.
>>136280990
It's only prevalent in anime that's geared toward otakus.
What do otaku shitters love? Porn. Go to any porn site and you'll get over 9000 videos titled 'Sis blows Bro' or 'Brother takes it up ass, thanks Mom'.
The only reason you don't see Wincest in Western-cartoon is because there isn't a massive subculture that openly consumes porn.the only exception to this are middle aged American women who love bondage
>>136282555
If my sister was cute & not 3DPD I would
>>136282555
How much longer are people going to keep using this fallacy? Does comfort you to believe that the only people in the world who like incest have no relatives on which to practice it? I only like mother/son because I have no mother and was created in a lab? Incest wouldn't even be a thing if the people that did it didn't have a target. Or do you mean to imply that, if I did have a sister(I do), then I wouldn't like incest anymore after I fucked her? Elaborate.
>>136284308
people are literally making up shit about videos on many porn sites. Bunch of gross 40 year old men talking about daddy daughter play.
ugh.
>>136280990
Pagan cultures (like Japan) do not see sexuality as something that is inherently sinful or ultra-important. Western cultures do.
>>136284410
If you don't think what I said applies to you, why are you upset? I didn't even claim all of /a/ either.
Because they aren't told that their god hates it, and they don't listen anyway. Also Japan was a feudal backwater less than 200 years ago. Also Daddy isn't home much and Mommy is a depressed automaton.
>>136284538
You clearly made a sweeping generalization.
>>136284514
Strange that, violence is a normal thing before the watershed but the mention of sex sends people into a frenzy.
