I DESPISE STEP-SIBLING OR RELATIVE LOVE INTERESTS! THE FEM MC HAD THE MOST RELATABLE, AND HONESTLY CORRECT REPONSE TO LEARNING YOUR BROTHER SEES YOU AS A WOMAN AND NOT HIS SISTER OH MY GOD!!!!! You have no idea how often I've read trashy shoujo that have the sibling as a romance option for the Fem Mc. I HATE IT! The fact that this is one of the few times I've seen the MC actively show fear/sadness/rage at her own brother for his feelings is so upsetting omg.
I don't care if they're pretty, I don't care if they're your type. Dating someone who is related to you in any way, shape, or form is disgusting. It's fine if you like the brother for yourself, you're not the sister, do as you like. But if you are actively shipping siblings/step-siblings together, you are gross. The past had to deal with that problem, and the modern day shouldn't. I can't stand seeing it portrayed in a positive or interesting light in any way, shape, or form. Step-sibling romance through marriage is gross; you're still siblings, end of sentence. It's so obvious to me that anyone who likes this trope has never had a sibling or is from Alabama.
Imagine growing up with someone all your life, spending your time around them 24/7. Through all the awkward phases, bickering, etc. It's not sunshine and rainbows; hell, sometimes you'll feel like choking them out. But overall, you have a bond that no one will have, one where you don't gotta put up a guard or mask because there's no point, they've seen all the ugly stuff already! And then you find out that your sibling likes you, not as family but as a real crush. Then what does that say for all the awkward moments? Those times you had to share a room? Those times you walked in on each other? Were they perving on you the entire time? Did you ever have true privacy in your own house? Were you ever truly safe in your own room??? I just can't stand it, as someone with multiple sliblings its a trope I truly despise with my whole being.
Sorry for the long rant, just felt I had to get this out sooner or later, and I'm here just celebrating the MC's disgust over this damn trope fr.
