I hope this means less incest porn.
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
taboo content sells and all you have to do nowadays to make content taboo is add a word to the dialog (that i assume most people are ignoring anyways?)
i have only had one sex worker as a client during my accounting years and they only stayed a few years as a client, but that is my analysis. it's always a money thing.
I don't think the dialogue is even affected, it's probably just the titles. At least, some videos are definitely uploaded multiple times with different titles.
Since the UK either had a proposal to ban, or already have banned incesty porn, I'm guessing the platforms will just provide an option to show the same video under different titles for particular regions and various other targeting, including random a/b testing.
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.
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.
Maybe but they are full siblings in GOT, it's straight incest. The step stuff seems more likely correlated with people's real experiences growing up of mixed and split families. Idk for sure of course.
Right, the genre predates GoT, the argument at the time was that the show may have contributed to the 178% increase in views from 2014 to 2015 , bringing the genre mainstream.
It definitely advertised it, for sure, but I think it would have grown in popularity regardless.
What are you doing with that stump, brother???
The 15 upvoters who preceded me seem to have firmly grasped this definition. For the rest of us:
Bimbofication is a practice, kink, or fetish that involves role-playing and transforming oneself into a stereotypical portrayal of a "bimbo," characterized by exaggerated femininity, playful behavior, and a carefree attitude. It emphasizes empowerment and self-expression, allowing individuals to embrace their sexuality and challenge societal norms.
There's also the less self-empowered variety where the transferred person not only looks and behaves like an exaggerated Barbie doll but is supposed to become that airheaded. Like so often, the lines between these varieties are blurry.
By the way, I find it rather telling that bimbo fetish is becoming more popular at a time when all of the MAGA women are doing their best to look like mass-produced plastic dolls... Exposure does a lot to drive preferences.
Woman: breathes
Crazy people: It emphasizes empowerment and self-expression
People recently became familiar with this kink by the way of Kristi Noem's husband's example.
Is that like girls looking like glorified Barbies? I'm out
Kristi Noem's husband was the unwitting popularizer of the term, via his own practical example. So it's not just women.
Also the bleached hair, excessive makeup, lip injections, and comically large breast and butt implants.
This is the more common definition
So basically guys are jerking it to extreme makeover show?
Empowers you to get everything you want, as long as you only want what the powerful want you to want.
thought this was a (very late) april fools joke 💀 is this real? is there some recent / relevant reason for it?
this is Kristi Noem's husband. he likes to dress like a bimbo online and chat people up.
Those nips are doing WORK. Not good work, but work.
and I thought my tits looked weird, good God

Town of Bimbofica. Fascinating fetish
It's actually a subgenre of reggaeton
