@rei893 Some think of it that way, but it's not.

 

[Homelander]

[rei893]

@crunchberry
Agreed

 

[UnLunDun]

heavy breathing

 

[silentfx]

@crunchberry Then wtf is it? I DEMAND INCEST!

 

[crunchberry]

@silentfx What I consider as incest is anyone with a close blood relation, like a parent/sibling/aunt/uncle/grandparent/first cousin. If you want to think of it as incest you can, that's up to you.

 

[silentfx]

@crunchberry oh, ok, fair point actually.

 

[UnknownSaint111]

That expression at the end caught me. They shouldn't change last names. It's what separates him after all

 

[ThisIsIkanz]

my heart hurt

 

[justforthelulz]

@silentfx
The Japanese term is 'inseki' (姻戚), meaning 'related by marriage (not by blood/DNA)'.

 

[dmeister]

i guess its pretty exciting seeing a wholesome story progress into this lol

 

[Firelord2041]

Ok, this guy seems alright in my book. He was asked to make "delicious homemade cooking", and he goes and makes it have bacon in it. Perfect choice. And no, there was no lamb sauce. Sorry Gordon.

 

[monoreposo]

Tbh, I did not think the series was heading in this direction, Not that I'm complaining.

 

[Kami_Nana]

@rei893 You have to be related by blood for it to be incest. The whole reason we have the taboo of incest is because of the complications(birth defects) it causes in offspring. You wouldn't have those complications if step siblings have offspring so no incest.

@justforthelulz Oh! So that's what that tag means... *jots down note for "research" later..." I see, I see...

 

[rei893]

@Kami_Nana
Its been two years, thank you for replying to me. As time goes on yeah I already read more about this and asking someone older than me, more experience about this thing

 

[Ekuzeiru]

[JockForLuck12Times]

The monster in my pants was acting up it was barking like a pitbull

 

[Bigeat12]

hmm…

(1) If I say "incest", some people in some contexts will think it's about genetic relation and other people in other contexts will think it's about familial relation. For practical purposes it can mean either. If I'm talking to a biologist, I only mean the former; but if we're talking about romance manga, both kinds of incest will trigger that sweet, sweet, doki-doki anxiety that we crave.

(2) Sure one reason for the taboo is birth defects, but you can be in a heterosexual relationship without having children. The other taboo-ness comes from the same source as eg teacher-student relations; being siblings, they live together, and otherwise have a lot of connections with each other that aren't trivial to escape (cutting off a family member is a lot harder than cutting off a normal ex). There is also usually an age difference and other power imbalances in an incestuous relationship, though that doesn't apply here, much to Amane's chagrin.

"inseki" is an interesting term; the fact that it exists… actually isn't it just the same as "step-" or "in-law"? How does Japanese differentiate the two?
