In regards to #1 - I have never understood the whole blood related = gross. Like I get it, risk of genetic disease is much higher.But I have always though that the grosness comes from the nature of the pre-existing relationship dynamic.
Lets say two peoe who met in their 20s and are married do an ill guided mail-in ancestry test and find out they are 1st cousins or even siblings. Apart from the obvious issue of managing offspring risk, I don’t see why this would automatically kill the relationship or be gross.
E: Interesting, seems ive hit an unpopular opinion. Anyone care to elaborate?
You made the neurotypicals mad, plain and simple. Blood incest arose as a taboo for the very good reason that it was evolutionarily unfit. Then humans invented condoms. Neurotypicals don’t want to think about the abuse dynamics inherent in incest of either variety, they only want to confirm their own social and instinctual biases. You disagreed with the neurotypical hivemind, and that makes you bad.
