i've found some comments saying its incest, but u cant expect a guy's dick to recognize re...

I would agree, because they're stepbrothers, but the rest of your comment is so wrong in so many ways...

Can I just ask, what's wrong with same-sex incest?

I understand what's wrong with opposite-sex incest in that you can have babies with illnesses.

I can also understand perhaps arguments against Mother/Daughter, Father/Son, Uncle/Son, Aunt/Daughter type relationships as there is a potentially unfair power dynamic even if the relationship(s) occur/s only when everyone involved is a consenting adult.

But in this case, since it's a pair of siblings (step or otherwise), the power dynamic is negligible. In the real-world the age difference between siblings is what can be found in non-sibling relationships.

So, given that they are the same sex, consenting adults, and not prone to an unfair power dynamic, what is the problem even if it was incest (supposing they're blood related unlike in this particular manga)?

I'm terribly sorry, to be honest... I can't remember what I meant with "so many ways". I'm really trying to figure out what I was thinking back then, but I really can't.

If I wanted to find an issue with "same sex, consenting adults, not prone to an unfair power dynamic, but are blood related" would be more in regards to "both growing up in the same household" than blood ties themselves (which would apply even if they weren't blood related). And even then I don't think that it's particularly bad, but it's just something I find a bit "off", having been raised together, I'm not sure how to explain it...
But yeah, even that, it's not WRONG and I wouldn't think anything bad if anyone else were to want that.

Again, I'm very sorry I can't answer for my other comment, it's been long enough that I can't even remember having posted that ⁄(⁄ ⁄>⁄︿⁄<⁄ ⁄)⁄

lol it's ok, I realized after I posted it, it had been a year since your response. Thanks for responding all the same! As for it being a bit "off" I can see how that would be, since I think normally people don't find themselves attracted to their family (of choice or blood) but if it happened, like you, I don't really see it as wrong. They're not really affecting other people so it a relationship like any other. I know some people /do/ think that way though (that it's wrong to be romantically/sexually attracted to family) and I, thinking you were one of those people, was just wondering about your logic.

All the same, I really appreciate you replying to message :)

Thanks for being so understanding!
It's really quite embarrassing, having said that, no matter if I did believe that or if it was just misleading... also, that I can't remember which it would be x)

But yeah, incest "laws" are set there mainly for reproductive risks, which isn't an issue in a same-sex relationship. The powerplay is an issue in all kinds of relationships not just incest (teacher-student ones are the first to come to mind). The awkwardness of being raised together as <something> then changing that <something> to <something-else> (doomed childhood friendzoned people), it's varying levels of awkwardness, from just slightly awkward (childhood friends) to "off" (familial or non-related siblings), but it's not basis for them being WRONG, I think.

I see what you mean, and it looks like we're in agreement on the topic (for the most part). On a tangentially related side note: Would you be interested in debating with me some time? Maybe on a topic we disagree on? It could be fun :P

ヾ(☆▽☆)

Sure! I enjoy friendly debates, there's always lots that can be learned from an opposing side!

Also, not many people seem to understand that it's fine to disagree on stuff.. so this is a rare chance :)

I know what you mean, I have had a hard time finding anyone to debate with in RL or online so I'm super happy you agreed :D Just send me a message whenever you think you have some time and we can live chat/debate <3

Personally, I hold the same thoughts and feelings on homosexual incest that you depict here. "No harm, no foul". However, to answer your question, it's a social more that dates back a far as the Iron Age and is all based on inheritance of property. It seems ridiculous to still maintain such an antiquated ideal in our modern age, but many still do and it is now, after thousands of years, almost instinctual. People are not repulsed by sex between strangers, yet the moment a stranger is deemed "family" the revulsion kicks in. It's not that there is any biological component that would cause weak offspring, it is purely the idea of being rejected by society. "What will the neighbors think?", mentality. Those that don't harbor this mentality find no issue with "family" or even "blood" incest. Those that fear being shunned, do.

OH! I just recalled what I meant by "wrong in so many ways". It had nothing to do with incest or not, it was more on the "a dick likes what it likes", it sort of implies that whatever "the dick" likes, is fine for "the dick to have", no matter if it's right or wrong or perhaps even consensual (or maybe it's just me reading between the lines and projecting my own ghosts).
That sort of gives me that "wrong in so many ways" feel :P

It's not really incest,, They aren't relayed by blood,,, ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
