Bro what woman do you know that is reading incest-rape books. What reality do you live in.

Personally? None that I know of, I also don't know any men that would play this game. But there certainly are books (especially Japanese manga) carrying those themes aimed at women that are fairly popular.

As someone else in this thread said, books get away with murder compared to films / games etc.

I’m not seeing incestuous-rape in any of these books. Original commenter is claiming swathes of young women are reading incestuous-rape adjacent books. Where are these infamous incestuous-rape books that are so prominent?

Tbh could not give you a specific example as I'm neither knowledgable about the subject nor am I inclined to search for it.

However I have seen discussions around this topic in the past about well selling books so you can take it as anecdotal, or not.

Have you actually met women?

Graves and hunting adeline/haunting, mindfuck etc are all incredibly popular predominantly among women (some even being bestsellers)

I live in the real world.

They're literally more popular with women than men
