> All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight," Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted on July 18th.

Which begs the question: Is it true, that there are such games? And how would one defend its availability to the public? Is w#nking off to such content considered free speech?

You can type “wanking” on this website. This isn’t a special space for children.

We are discussing blocking of legal content by the payment companies. If they do not like this games or GTA or metal music they should make laws.

But they are concerned by virtual incest while in USA cousin marriage is still legal in many states.

If i believe in this stupidity that music and games are harmful then I would use the big money to do some studies to prove this and then make laws, not force my ideology by abusing the payment monopoly this companies have to push my stupidity to the entire fucking world.

The US is actually an outlier in how taboo it considers first-cousin sexual relations. They’re certainly eyebrow-raising these days, but not considered incestuous in most of Europe or other parts of the world (with China and parts of India being two admittedly big exceptions).

I am not sure, but this companies will block content containing this legal relations, and I seen people in the sims community (not sure their nationality ) demanding EA blocks "step" relations , even if there is nothing illegal or medical wrong about that, just their fragile hearts that the game does not block this.

Not true at all. Just because it is legal doesn’t mean it is considered socially acceptable [1].

> but not considered incestuous in most of Europe

Not according to the catholic church [2].

The fact that it's uncommon or "weird" doesn't yet mean it's taboo.

Werner von Braun married his cousin. Granted, that was after he came to America, but she was still in Germany then.

[johncessna]

Yeah, nearly 80 years ago, and he married in Germany. First cousin marriages in the US today will certainly warrant some side eye as Sharlin mentioned.

According to wikipedia 24 states have it banned and then 7 more apply restrictions such as a minimum age or infertility
