incest/pseudo-incest question
We all know incest is morally and objectively wrong for a number of reasons right? but I thought up a scenario that contradicts that idea. Im going to make up a hypothetical: say theres 2 guys, the same age, who are gay. Their parents get remarried to eachother and the 2 guys happen to fall into a relationship. That is technically considered pseudo-incest. The reason I use this specific scenario is because 2 guys cannot reproduce, and since they're the same age and havent lived together as 'siblings' for a long time, there is no power dynamic involved.
Is this relationship still objectively wrong to have, even without the usual arguments against incest? If so, can you share your thoughts?
BTW, before anyone jumps me and calls me a freak, its a genuine question which I want a genuine answer for. I'm curious and open to learning if you think I am wrong. I dont have any strong opinions on this but I however dont see anything objectively wrong with this specific scenario.
it's still disgusting af, esp if they're introduced to be as future siblings and they still "fall in love?" ew.
watch them kill their parents so that they could end up with each other. (y'all are normalizing plots like this that's why y'all are conflicted, lol) reply
I mean. This is a thing that happens. Step-siblings that meet during their mid/late teens and forming a romantic and/or sexual relationship. Some last and some don't. There's really no moral "good" or "bad" about it if both are freely consenting, yk?
There's an American couple who are stepsiblings, met at 17 and 15, and ended up getting together a...... reply
1. If you need to make a dynamic that maintains so little resemblance to the original problems of incest to make it (barely) 'okay'. You are just proving how bad the real thing is.
2. My attempt. (I wrote point 1 after trying this).
You crafted a hypothetical and yet left so many important facts to the imagination...
First, you mean remarried a...... reply
if you're introduced and socialized as siblings i think it's a lil questionable. obviously yes it isn't biologically dangerous and the worst one could feel about it is look at those individuals sideways.
in this specific hypothetical, i mean, sure, it's not that bad. the relationship's more circumstantial than deliberate.
someone brought up a reall...... reply
Tons of gray area here but what is a sibling. Defined as: a sibling typically refers to a person who shares at least one biological or adoptive parent with another individual. ----- so if the youngers have zero blood ties and/or were not legally adopted by one of the other parent involved, they actually are not legal siblings. You can throw 2 ...... reply
It will always be strange to me. Sibling dynamics isn’t just the fact that it’s biological. It’s also mental. There are adopted children that have siblings you were raised as siblings so that’s what you are. It’s honestly as simple as that. I find it more so strange that my parent were to remarry and now I get a new person in the house wh...... reply
look, "step siblings" becoming lovers isn't biologically bad or anything. one of the biggest reasons we don't like incest is because brains like a good distinction between whom we call out own "blood" and whom we call our "lover". the scenario isn't wrong if they are two individuals who will move out and cut ties from their family afterwards entire...... reply
Tl;dr it's still nasty
This reminds me of a series I swear I heard about. Actually there is probably a bunch of series like this. It was this guy and girl who were already dating and in a relationship only to one day be told by both of their single parents that they both got together. The parents want their child to break up with eachother, but th...... reply
its not unethical in this scenario but i'd still look at them sideways because there's all the people in the world and you choose your "sibling"....
but either way it's gonna be awkward family dynamic because the romantic tension between the "siblings" will stay whether they're ex's or lovers so if they wanna be alabamacore anyways its well within...... reply
"pseudo-incest" between two siblings in this situation is completely ok imo (and even if they could reproduce that wouldnt be a problem bc they are not blood related so their child would be perfectly normal) reply
