it's interesting the weight that words such as "incest" "rape" and "pedophilia" pull in things written by the callout-post fandom. there's a slippage between "an eroticised fantasy concept of, or fictional portrayals of, rape" and "actual acts of rape, as they occur in real life," that is of course intentional on the part of the people who write these posts.
the rhetorical strategy here is that the word "rape" (or "incest" etc.) is used to stand in for both of these things—so that the author can say "unfollow and block me if you find incest hot, or if you hang around anybody who finds incest hot"—when, if you have background knowledge in what this conversation is usually actually about, you know that what is meant by "incest" is something like "a portrayal of incest occurring between fictional characters." which is, factually, not incest.
I just think it's a disingenuous use of language. and if the argument is that they think a fictional portrayal of something can be literally incest—I mean I kind of just don't believe that anybody actual thinks that. I feel like even if you have a strong sense of moral disapproval of the eroticisation of fictional rape, you must on some level know that there is a difference between that and e.g. pornographic material produced of somebody actually for real being raped.
