Why is outcest such a prevalent trope in anime?

I am always wondering why is there so much anime and manga where the couple aren't siblings. It was an interesting concept the first couple times but I am frankly tired of non blood related romance stories.
How would you explain that roughly 90% of couples in anime are outcestous these days?

Exactly what I was wondering yesterday while taking a dump. It's hard to make a good catchphrase about outcest.

Outcest is poutcest...
Outcest is shoutcest...
Outcest is stoutcest...
Outcest is troutcest...

See what I mean?

Technically everyone is related distantly though.

There is more people the more distant you get so statistics.

Sibling romance is rare in real life too. Even if you expand the definition of incest to include distantly related couples, my family doesn't have more than one such couple.

Wouldn't "excest" be the more Latin-derived term for this phenomenon?

Going full incest is actually a taboo in many airing rules in Japan. This is why Oreimo ended with the main 2 breaking up. In the game they try to argue they are not blood related. This is also why eromanga s2 and ngnl s2 are unlikely despite having huge success.

I hate incest so I don't want incest in any anime unless it's shown as an abnormal relationship.

Incest or outcest, it doesn't matter, as long as the male in the relationship is at least 4 years older than the female then it's okay with me. My mother being older than my dad is why I am a genetic failure and our family is a mess.

Incest can be good when handled right. Like OreImo. That show is far more interesting than 80% of siblings romance we have nowadays.

At least OreImo had the balls to have the siblings kiss each other.

Wait, I have a new answer: Incest is a highly cultured and elite thing to do, so it doesn't appeal to the uncultured masses.

you seem to really like blood-related incest. if fantasy isn't fulfilling your needs of it then just go do it in real life like a real chad sigma. you will even get a story out of it from your experience. you can publish a book of it and then other fellows like you can fulfull their needs of blood-related incest. win-win situation :D

you'll be their messiah. you will be praised above all. kept like a king. frankly you're missing out on your real potential. take my advise and take the first step today :)

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

@NoelleIsSleepy I really just read the title as "outcast" and didn't know what I was getting into X2...
@SignsOfSuicide I feel that same pain...

But now that I'm here, Ill answer anyways: Because those who want to see incest are very messed up, and only small minority of writers are messed enough to end up writing such stories... Damn, just noticed OP's username. I hope they have not committed any crimes along the topic!
