For their category "Sexual Violence", they include both violent terms ("woman being raped", "torture porn"), and non-violent terms ("stepsis"). Those are... very different types of pornography, and exist in very different quantities.

At the very least, you can determine that a video includes "torture porn" without listening to the audio, but you can't tell that a video includes "stepsis" without listening to the audio. Especially given the disconnect between the ages of the performers, and the roughly expected ages of their characters.

Step-incest porn is relabeling normal porn with some dialogue to appeal to incest fetishists. That's all there is to it.

False, the final term is "incest", not "stepsis". All of the above are semantically valid for "sexual violence".

I did switch that—it's not clear if those three words are the only 3 words defining the category. I suspect not, however, because:

1. It then wouldn't include the word "rough", which is far more common and indicative of sexual violence.

2. Elsewhere the page, the author includes "stepsis" as indicative of incest:

> Later titles are longer, and we start to observe a trend towards both incest ("Daughter", "Stepsis") and violence ("HARD FUCKING", "Fucked ROUGH", "Rough Fuck").

That last quote makes me think that the categories are larger than the 3 examples given, and "sexual violence" includes both the incest and violence terms.

I am the author, it's just those 3 terms for the tSNE cluster. Sorry, I can tell from some of the comments here the graphs need to be clearer. "Stepsis" is indicative of incest IMO, the "step" is a fig leaf.

I agree “stepsis” is indicative of incest, but I don’t agree “stepsis” is indicative of violence. And if you’re only using 3 words for “sexual violence”, then why did you go with “incest” instead of “rough”? Those are vastly different kinds of pornography.

Sorry, no, incest is not intrinsically violent the way rape and torture are.
