Incest plots are not so bad, what's bad is when sibling becomes a third wheel and a major detergent for progression.for the love of god PLEASE dont make the sister into her brother, i swear incest plots ruin so many good romance mangas and anime for me
I can see where you're coming from, but you completely lose me at thinking siblings being romantically interested in each other isn't weird...Incest plots are not so bad, what's bad is when sibling becomes a third wheel and a major detergent for progression.
In any case this manga already has pretty stupid stuff. Both parents are alive, working overseas (meaning they have good salary) but brother despite having worser chances in life is still forced to take care of siblings. Time, energy and money as if he is their parent. Loving your siblings is already good enough, helping them on occasions is plenty.
Their parents are outright trash if they don't know that their son is squandering his future and life in order to uplift his siblings. Any normal parent has to have that understanding. Author probably doesn't understand this since they have 0 family or children, but any good/normal parent would get the clue why oldest child is still living in paternal house with no partner in sight. If not in first months then in 3 fucking years 100%.

I can't believe I'm entertaining you considering you think romantic blood-related sibling relationships are ok as long as there's no children (Seriously you need to see a psychiatrist) but it seems I have no choice.Incest thing, let's say for example step-siblings (I know incest means blood related but people always confuse this so i adapt towards general population understanding). Many people bitch about step siblings romance (non-blood related), especially when they became steps in their 15 and up years...and they call it gross. I'm appalled by that, must a social fabricated title produce some sort of hormone for you to reject feeling infatuated by a person?
If they are step-siblings from a young age it gets a little bit complicated but in general once again if you remove the fact that they are sleeping under one roof it's like a childhood friend....The only boon about this is that it's quite risky if they are stupid (having ability to have sex at a younger age than normally). In case of a break up it can somewhat also affect their parents but it's a double edged sword and it can actually make them a stronger couple due to understanding that being bad can backfire harder than separate households.
FYI step parent and step child is a definite NONO. A lot of problematic things arise from that.
As for blood siblings...I do not approve of it solely based on chances of genetic mutation in children. Also i strongly advise against it due to social constraints i.e. people like to spread rumors and push people with non-normal inclinations.
I do not have opposite gender siblings but i do not strongly oppose it as long as children are not involved. Not only because child has larger chances of having a defect but also because they might be bullied and thus damaged greatly.
I brooded about this theme for quite some time and made my research.
I ask you, logically why do you think it's bad if we exclude children appearing?
As an example it became a taboo only due to church AND general aversion towards disabled children but was heavily practiced by many nobles and even ordinary folk until this knowledge became common knowledge. For example even to this day many muslims approve 1st degree cousin relationship and many other countries are ok with 2nd degree and etc. Heck look at USA laws, some states approve cousin marriages.
Do not worry a tried to research many taboo questions in our society(Not trying to push an agenda here), incest was just one of those things, many of taboos have quite a strong power even today. Incest for example among siblings lost it grip due to normalization of not having children and inventions of contraceptives. Incest among parents and children though, has many bad tones socially, like grooming for example.
Taboo and any traditional things in general should be revisited. In my search for taboo and traditional things (basically what we can and cannot do) i found some taboo themes to lose their validity whilst grew stronger against other taboo things. Same as for traditions, to the point that i do not follow many traditions that i should have culturally. I pick those that sound logical and even converse with people in order to have more opinions if I should embrace or discard it.
In any case thank you for entertaining the discussion. I don't have any blood or non blood related opposite sex siblings nor did i ever feel any feelings towards my family members. That's just to be clear before i continue.Snip
Once again thank you for replying in a more serious manner. Your input was valuable and gave me a few things to brood about. Perhaps in the future my opinion might change but currently it's still the same. Though few things like betrayal and difficulty (to lesser extent) made my boundaries of acceptance lesser in size.To decrease duplication
Alright man, I can see that this is just going in a circle so I'm just not bothering to respond. Edit: (Also sorry Mods for derailing the forum, this turned completely differently from the source material.)Once again thank you for replying in a more serious manner.

The feeling of betrayal in one-sided relationships with relatives is a great point and concern which can spiral the family dynamic out of control. (Of course the drama that happen like in usual relationship can be also be stronger(due to parents living together and possibility of divided camps) but that should be automatically taken into account)
You confuse me, in what circles? We didn't even have a proper dialogue to start the circular dialogue. Please read what circular dialogue means before using this statement (it doesn't mean that you have to change the opinion of your conversation mate). If you do not wish or do not know how to answer just do that, say i do not wish to continue this dialogue or like many people in modern day do simply ghost everything altogether.Alright man, I can see that this is just going in a circle so I'm just not bothering to respond.

The problem with incestuous relationships is purely and only a social thing. If the two people grew up together then it's problematic due to power dynamics and such, but that's equally true of biologically unrelated people that grew up in the same home. Potential issues with offspring is just a eugenics argument at its core. If you want to also assert that people with genetic disorders shouldn't be allowed to breed either, be my guest, but I'd rather not go down that path.I can't believe I'm entertaining you considering you think romantic blood-related sibling relationships are ok as long as there's no children (Seriously you need to see a psychiatrist) but it seems I have no choice.
Incestuous relationships, can lead to severe psychological distress, including feelings of guilt, shame, betrayal, and difficulty forming healthy relationships later in life. Incest can disrupt the social fabric of a family and community, leading to feelings of isolation and stigma for those involved. The degree of psychological harm from incest can vary based on factors like the nature of the relationship, the age of those involved, and the level of coercion. But regardless it shouldn't even be considered in the first place.
It's genuinely disgusting and deeply disturbing that you'd think "I do not strongly oppose it as long as children are not involved." When accidents are practically guaranteed and a society where it is normalized would lead to very, very bad genetic mutations.
Not to even mention that a part of our brain actively blocks feelings of incest for said reasons. (Yes some do not feel this but that is likely a disorder such as autism, ect.)
I'm assuming you've never had siblings, if you had, you'd have a little more common sense. (Actually I don't think you even need common sense to know why incest is inherently a bad thing and why it's been a taboo practically since the dawn of humanity.)reply
