Repost from my old reddit account. Context from these guys: https://lemmy.world/comment/10124828
You know you're getting old when you go to the MILFs category and see women your age or younger.
Also, has anyone else noticed the explosion of stepmom/stepsister stuff? It's so weird to me, like soft incest. Has the dating scene gotten so bad that the most believable way someone could get laid is by banging someone they already live with?
I think it's the taboo nature in combination with it being a story behind the action. It's a plot involving a lot of emotions with minimal effort. I prefer childhood friends for that, but taboo is sexy to a lot of people. Full on incest stuff is annoyingly popular as well for some reason 🤮
It's just surprisingly new. I'd bet the pandemic played a large part in it. Stepsister stuff has always been a niche, but not nearly as prevalent as it is today. I would know, I used to work in the industry.
Lol, no, that stuff was catching on at least 15 years ago, and was a massive meme before the pandemic. The "what are you doing step bro," meme is from 2018, and the industry had already gone hard in that direction for a while before that.
I also read it’s an easy plot
Here’s two people, it gives us an explanation to 1) why they’re in the same area, 2) already have a strong connection/know each other
There was a third point building off the relationship thing but I forgot what it was
Not dating, but socialization. We are so lonely and isolated, and economically stunted, that we have issue interacting and building any type of bond. And then add a pandemic where the only interaction was your family.
To be clear, what i am trying to say it goes beyond dating and there is a systemic issue.
Wow gross you’re into MILFs?? Hot MILFs with mommy milkers???? Mature dommy mommy MILFs???!??????? Disgusting!
Yeah that sounds terrible………..
Is she really a MILF if you're not into her?
"Mother I would probably pass on sexual relations with, although I do appreciate her as a person"
MIWPPOSRWAIDAHAAP just doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
So that's what those websites ending in ".MIL" are about
"she's white now so therefore, I am able to find her attractive"
spanish people famously aren't white
That is certainly the belief of dumbass racists in the USA.
Ask a German or British racist and see what their opinion is then
EDIT : My genuine belief is that there's no "race hierarchy" or anything like that, however...
People in general are treated differently based on race, with white people treated as if they're at the top of a heirarchy. Obviously , it's relative, for instance, a turk in poland and a turk in england are treated as "not white" , a pole in poland is treated as white, when compared to the turk in poland.
Somehow, the pole loses their "whiteness" when they migrate to the UK, and are treated with scorn and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
So, the desire for spaniards, and "paler" LatAm originating people to be treated as white is a fallacy that's trying to get them to be part of a privilaged group that may or may not get them in there, depending on the context they're in. A pale columbian is treated as white in LatAm, because they are whiter than Afro-Latinos. That same person will have a lot harder time being treated as white if they live in a border town in the USA.
Spaniards and other mediterranian europeans have the same thing happening to them. Oh sure, they're "White" in the mediterranian, but not so much if they go to places like germany or the UK.
She isn't white in the picture above? Also, the one at the bottom isn't white, she's Anime-American.
Who are the characters? The bottom one seems familiar
Both the same character, Olivia. Top is the stardew expanded default portrait of her, below is an anime-style version of the portrait
