why

They're actually step brothers

They're not blood related

really? well that's a bit better lol

i don't like step-sibling or "childhood friend that you grew up with" tropes as well but that's just personal taste.

Hello. Someone who is the oldest of 9 kids-- includin' step siblings-- here.

There is absolutely nothin' wrong with explorin' dark fiction if you know how to separate your fiction from reality. It's not like the people who read/write/create this kind of content sit there and go "yeah I wrote this 'cause I looked at my sibling/relative recently and thought 'hey it'd be cool to fuck'em, right'?"

Not once after readin' somethin' with incest in it has it ever changed the way I view my familial ties and honestly if it's somethin' you're not comfortable with then that's on you to tailor your own experiences.

You don't get to be judge and jury on what people get to create when it comes fictional settings and it sure as hell don't mean you get to guess at their personal life just 'cause you're uncomfortable or some purist bs.

Also, who tf gets bent outta shape over childhood friend tropes in 2021??

hi. first of all, girl why are you being so salty... i'm just one person out of billions on the internet who said i dislike childhood friend tropes, it's really not that deep... you don't have to agree with me lol. i never said it was morally wrong or whatever, i simply dislike it

that aside, i don't mind if people enjoy that kind of fiction, it's just that incest tropes are extremely common in anime or manga and it is a fact that the vast majority of people with siblings are immensely uncomfortable with the thought of incest in general and i am one of them - be it fiction or not. if you don't mind it, you do you. i personally very much mind it because even fiction always has some kind of aspect of self-reference for me. also do you really think authors would give a shit about some rando on a ill//gal manga distribution website kinkshaming them?

It's fiction for God's sake no one will look at their own siblings in that way you know ... Maybe if it's a step brother/sister when there parents got married and the kids are in a sensible age it that case those feelings can be manifested somehow cuz they're not related by blood and they haven't grown up ase siblings from a young age... Like the one in LOVE OR HATE and this manga too
But when the author makes a story of blood related family members falling in love it's a bit Desterbing that's what incest is

You're right in this specially in the Japanese industry they have a thing for Incist stories sometimes they take it too far specially when they're blood related

No, it's the fact that you made the conscious decision to voice your assumptions about someone you have literally 0 knowledge of that got me. Automatically assuming that people with siblings are uncomfortable with incest in fictional settings and then voicing that you believe the creators themselves don't have any siblings so to speak so therefore they clearly don't understand how "disgusting" or "uncomfortable" it makes you.

It's that shield of anonymity that the internet provides that has made it all too easy for people to just be blatantly rude for no reason. You could've literally stopped reading and moved on without saying a single word, but instead you decided to take potshots at creators just 'cause you think they won't care about some rando on the internet. Which, tbh, most of the time is true. On a site like this-- unless someone informs the artist on their social media-- a lot of the time the creator will never see the comments.

But that's where things start going wrong.

I've seen far too many times where people have picked up a mange series off a site to find it something "morally degrading", find someone that backs up this self-righteous claim of their's in the comments or in a forum then suddenly they have the balls to go directly to the creator and basically call them all sorts of disgusting names and for what? Just 'cause they don't agree with the content that was created?

It's not that I'm salty-- far from it-- I'm fed up. It's so easy to just drop something and go on your way, and this is especially true for the internet, but for some reason you guys can't seem to let it go. You always gotta say something spiteful or mentally degrading about the content you don't like. It's never just "not my cup of tea so I'mma bounce" it's always gotta be something a few steps beyond that.

You alone have to tailor your experiences on the internet. No one else is responsible for the crap you expose yourself to when there are so many tools at your disposal to keep you from seeing the shit you don't wanna see. Every single site has tagging systems in play just for this specific reason. USE'M.

tl;dr
If you don't like it, boohoo for you. Shut up and move on. No one asked for your two cents or unwarranted nasty comments when you know zilch about the person who has created the content. Even if the said creator will never see the comment it's still pretty immature to take stabs at someone behind their back. You wouldn't like it if someone was saying the same shit about the stuff you were creating so why in god's name would you do it to someone else.

lol it's not that hard to separate fiction from reality and I just get tired of seein' people bellyache or be rude about shit when they could just literally click away and move onto somethin' else.

I get enough of that shit on twitter-- I don't need to be seein' it on a site with a very thorough taggin' system so you can literally navigate your way to the content you want to see.

It's like when people complain about seein' NSFW content when they clearly ignored the huge "HEY THIS IS NSFW DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T LIKE" label slapped right on the front for all to see lol mfers be head empty af and I'm too old and tired to be seein' this shit all the goddamn time.

you have a point, but this is really not what i meant.

you came for me because i dislike the childhood friends trope as well which was honestly random so it felt more like you were upset cus i somehow insulted your preferences lmao. i apologize for that.

however, it's easy to read stuff between the lines on the internet as well and get riled up about things that can be misinterpreted. i literally just wrote i don't think that most authors that write about incest have siblings and i, including many others that do have siblings, find that trope fucked up. and the negative connotation lies where...? because i really don't see it. assuming someone has no siblings is not harmful to me. saying incest is grossing me out is not insulting either. it's an opinion and a pretty popular one as well and a comment section exists to voice out your own opinions. do you really think there is no difference between someone who has siblings and someone who is an only child on how you perceive incest? because this is literally what my main point is. there is a difference and that's all i was trying to say. maybe you're able to look beyond that but this doesn't change the fact that others find it disturbing.

it's getting more so disturbing because plot lines including incest are blowing up, even in the western world (note: the porn industry). this is not a "dark plot device", it's getting romanticized VERY frequently and thus normalized which is, in my eyes, fucked up. this author in particular isn't really at fault for that so it's my fault for making it seem like i attacked them specifically. that was not my intention.

i appreciate you telling me that the tagging system exists tho cus i really did not know abt it i simply read everything that was on the newly updated page.

Guys, let's Just calm THE FUCKING DAWN and respesct each others opinions!!! Peace!!!
