Wow… this person spoke my mind word for word here. ^_^ ❤ It’s not hypocritical to express preference. Everyone has preferences. Expressing them is just being honest. My OC pair are same-age first cousins (both 15 when they fall in love). They’re mature for their age due to certain life experiences. I love teen romance because you can watch the characters grow into adults.

Fighting with myself over whether or not to kill off my brother-sister MCs at the end of my novel lol. On the one hand I’m as sick as anyone else of the whole ‘there’s no end but tragedy for incestuous lovers’, but on the other I feel like it’s the only fitting end to the story I’m telling. Plus also I’ve gotten attached to them over the months of writing lmao. It’s tough yo
I totally understand. Sometimes the tragic end really is the right one. I’ve got more than one novel cooking involving incest and even I have one or two that end badly/tragically.
But then I also understand how attached you are to them, and you don’t want to kill them.
I can’t help but I can sympathize!
Don’t know if you’ll see this, but just a comment to the anon: The fact that you even feel empathy for the characters says that you are not making the decision for the sake of appeasing negative people in society. It shows you are an artist who is true to their art. Tragic endings are as valid as anything else and if you are fair in the way you write characters in general, that honesty will show to those who can see it. Do what you need to do ^_^ In creative writing class, one of the most valuable lessons I learned is that whatever decisions you make for your story… the most important questions should be: Does it work? And is it Earned? (and by that I mean have you given the appropriate build-up towards the ending to make it a believable/plausible outcome?)
TIL that the recent growth in incest themed pornography production and consumption is driven by demand from millennial generation viewers
So how much influence has incest-shipping had on this I wonder?
This is really interesting. I think a few sites online have facilitated incest shipping and probably made it more popular (leading to more interest in incest porn), though I would be surprised if that was enough to sway statistics in any significant way.
I honestly do wonder if Game of Thrones also had an impact on this.
And who knows whatever else. I am so fascinated.
GOT certainly made it more acceptable to talk about “Hypotheticals” openly, which in turn helped me talk about real relationships more openly. But I don’t think we can separate any of the contributing influences, pornographic or not. I think they are all complementary and helped the other be more accepted.
I think as we came more accepting of non standard relationships in general, Gay or Straight, we also became more accepting of other types of non-traditional relationships. I think the whole trend revolved around the idea “love who you want” and it evolved from there. Everything helped everything. We can’t point to one indicator and say “this is why” we have to look at the whole picture.
Apologies for a few comments
I need to make a note about a few things I’ve written on here that I only realized later could come off as kind of rude/ignorant. No one told me to do this, it just occurred to me I should.
I typically mean everything I say and I am consistent in my beliefs.
But 2 points:
-In one post I may have come off like I can’t stand mentally ill people. I didn’t meant it that way… I just have a lot of anger about having to deal with someone with a mental illness in my family (which has nothing to do with the topics of this blog because there is no incest in my direct lineage). When I talk about that person I can’t say anything positive, but I don’t have anything against others with mental illness, if they at least try to be decent people.
-In another post I said that no one who is a guy on the inside would want boobs… but I’ve seen online stuff of trans guys who are ok with keeping their breasts. And I’ve met a trans guy who even went through pregnancy before he got his top surgery… so I’m very sorry if it came off like I’m insulting those guys. They are so brave and I respect them alot. My dysphoria is just really bad so I can’t imagine being ok with my body as it is…
I think that’s mostly it.

Boys in Massassi Temple on Yavin4.Prompts were “first kiss” and “anything happy between them.” Hope you like it, happy holidays!
It’s hard to brush it off when you receive a hate message and I know for many of you it has prevented you from openly blogging or writing fic about what you want to, but here is an important reminder: the person who sent that message is just giving their opinion. They’re not some authority on what is right or good. They don’t have special insight, Jesus doesn’t whisper truths into their ear. They might sound confident – but their confidence doesn’t make them right. People who are really wise ask questions, they don’t act like they know it all, and anyone worth listening to will treat you with respect. Always remember that!
The Stigma, Identity, and Intersectionality Research Lab at Teachers College, Columbia University is starting a new research project specifically about bi men (cis and trans guys) and they’ve asked us to help spread the word.
From the researchers:
”The goal of this research team is to investigate and promote the physical health, mental health, and overall well-being of diverse populations.
We are currently conducting a study concerning bisexual men’s experiences of stigma, coping, and sexual health (IRB Protocol #18-119). I wanted to know if you could please share the flyer and hyperlink for this study with your followers. The study can also be reached directly by using the following link: bit.ly/2AiTBYm
If you have any questions regarding this study, please feel free to reach out to the primary investigator: CJ Polihronakis, M.A., Ed.M. (cjp2155@tc.columbia.edu).”
Evil vs Unconventional
[also posted in Consanguinamory Fiction Forum]
I wanted to share some thoughts I had while reading a fandom info page online on the subject of consanguiamory in media and fiction; kind of like wiki pages but from a different site.
Most of the contributors couldn’t seem to talk about it without imposing their own negative views or sense of discomfort with the topic, and did not hold back their glaring bias even though the pages were supposed to be for the public and should’ve been neutral.
Well, the part that irritated me most was when someone was talking about these vampire twins (Hänsel and Gretel) from an anime called Black Lagoon. Pic below.
.
The author of that information page was discussion sibling pairings in fiction. Their opinion was that the taboo relationship between the twins was an extension of their already evil personas, as remorseless serial killers who enjoyed torturing their victims.
I don’t know the background of their story but from the little I read of them, it does seem like they have some traits that could genuinely be considered ‘evil,’ in the blackest sense of the term. But I don’t think that their relationship should be counted as a part of that evil.
Their actions (in the way they treat others) are in many ways wrong and cruel, but their relationship is simply unconventional… strange, yes. Unusual, yes. But not EVIL in itself. The twins seemed to have a strong bond with each other which involves sexual attraction as well. The writer’s interpretation of this part of their relationship was grossly tainted by personal biases towards incest.
.
One of the things about some writers of consanguinamory that irritates me to no end is this inability to tell the difference between something being evil vs merely unconventional.
I admit I like character pairs where the guy is considered at least somewhat ‘evil’. That’s because I relate most to male characters who exist in a grey area in their behavior/motives… BUT, I make a big distinction between the morality of their love vs. their other actions. When it comes to my own fiction, I would never see my character’s love as something that is an extension of the darker parts of him… for me it represents the better part of who he is. The ability to love is a testament to the good in someone’s heart. The darker parts are in no way meant to reflect negatively on the nature of incestuous love..
It disappoints and disturbs me when people can’t make the distinction between someone’s being part of a minority/misunderstood/strange and someone being downright evil.
I think the kind of person who doesn’t make this distinction is not acknowledging the character’s true complexity.
