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.
