It's been years, and I'm still waiting for the coherent logical explanation of why incest (and also polyamory/polygamy) is necessarily wrong. I think people just have a gut ick reaction. I've heard people say "inherently abusive", but I've never got a full explanation as to why or how it is. If someone claimed that such relationships have statically lower rates of working out well, that sounds very likely. I would easily believe that. But the government having to sign off on the assertion that your relationship is a good idea is really invasive. For most other topics, there's a difference between weird/messy/ill-advised, and criminal.

I do think there's a decent chance the plural marriage thing might become a public debate at some point, but I doubt incest will, just because it's such a fringe issue. The number of people who are in love with close relatives is so low that I really doubt they'll ever have the necessary mass to make people pay attention.

Besides the inbred children, It subverts the normal family relationship dynamic.

Um POWER DYNAMICS?? I assume you fuck your relatives because you can't find anyone better (losers) or you were abused and don't know better.

Go ahead and be proud just don't be surprised when everyone is FUCKING DISGUSTED.

Go ahead and have inbred children and then you can have sex with them too. Sick fuck.

But what about Jaime and Cersei? They were with each other 'til the very end!

Ask Pakistan, which has the highest rate of inbreeding in the world and all the associated consequences - all that on top of being the worst of the worst Muslim shitholes - but I digress.

Pakistan is not really close inbreeding, tbh. Most (if not all) of the inbreeding is just cousin x cousin which is still gross but not as dangerous or severe as sister x brother or some freaky shit like that.
