the step stuff is mostly in American translation, the Japanese mostly keeps out the step out. I love the brother and sister titles likeI don't consider step stuff "real" incest, and by making the step-mom close to age to the step-son takes away the relation AND the ageplay aspect.
It's still taboo, but it's closer to like teacher-student taboo or nurse-patient taboo than incest taboo, if that makes sense.
