Spn ran for fifteen fucking seasons, it ran for over a decade, and wincest was consistently one of the two or three most popular ships. And it had no measurable impact on real world abuse. Maybe you think fandom is uniquely dangerous (why, idk, but this tumblr after all) but a pretty good rule of fandom is that if Spn couldn't do it, fucking no one else is going to manage it.

Okay but it still fucking happens in real life and saying that theres no overlap is just being fucking ignorant.

People are allowed to be disgusted by incest and they will complain if you create it fictionally.

Fuck off with your logic "well I'm not making anyone do it", you're making others see it and you yourself are normalizing it.

The "real world impact" excuse is bullshit, while most usually just block people, It's not your choice to tell someone they can't complain about something because it's fictional. You're online now. The impact is now.

Idk where the reponse is, but to the person who called me ableist for saying this? Fuck you too. OP is clearly saying how it affects no one, you can’t back track and say “well yeah there’s probably a little bit obviously”.

And just because you super condenscenly explain how to block tags and then say “I don’t want to be condescending” then don’t. Don’t say that shit! cause guess what? I have the tags blocked !! I have the popular ships, the content/trigger warnings for incest, etc blacklisted and I still see it !!

I still see shitty ass posts like this defending it, too! I’m not even in the shitty incest Fandoms, but it’s so popular that it still circulates to me or people I follow untagged or through other means.

I’m allowed to be angry at this, I dont go out and seek arguments. I shouldn’t have to clarify that i know it’s different when i already stated that fictional incest has an impact on real people.

Two things can be bad at once, and both reactions will be different, but just because a reaction is negative does not mean its equating those actions to be the same.

Tolerating incest is something people should NOT be told they need to do. And it’s not the epic healthy online lifestyle others think it is.

You and others are acting so blasie while choosing to ignore those who are affected by incest and that is, in fact, ignorant! It is not ableist of me to say so.
