i’m not gonna lie, i really do genuinely hate when people choose to ignore the fact that Nero and Kyrie view each other in a familial way as well.
it’s written into the lore for a reason. it’s there to add to their dynamic. it’s there to emphasise the ambiguity and grey areas present in DMC as a whole.
they are fucking weird. their relationship is odd. it’s boring to ignore that and try to shove them into a neat little romantic box when that was never going to be the case.
i just find it funny when people try to actively ignore things they don’t like/find distasteful because they immediately write it off as ‘wrong’, and then attack others for pointing it out (it’s genuinely absurd that people get angry when you link a fucking screenshot of the in game lore.)
it’s not hard incest (obviously) but it’s not traditional romantic love either and it was never meant to be. it’s okay to say Nero and Kyrie are Fucking Weird. you’re not morally superior for choosing to ignore their less conventional dynamic, separating them into either strictly familial or strictly romantic*.
i like them as a duo, and i like the inner turmoil that comes with having such unique circumstances.
*super common to see people oftentimes write nerokiri as conventional siblings(???) for some reason(???) and pretend entire segments of lore never happened—the good old ‘oh it was always just sibling love. dmc4 didn’t happen.’ OR conversely, they write them as romantic lovers who are good at being romantic and leave it at that.
like they’re not EITHER of those things. both of you are wrong. it’s a secret third option that transcends typical constructs
