Hey. I found your old GF pinecest fic and I thought I was good. It also made me wonder something just now after seeing something from somebody. Is it wrong to like incest relationships in fiction? I don't support it in real life but idk
No, I don't think there's anything wrong with incest relationships in fiction. It is *fiction*, after all. I write about very taboo subject matters with no suggestion that any of this is real.
It isn't wrong to like murder mysteries in fiction: do you think people would accuse you of "supporting murder" in real life if you enjoyed a story that included characters being killed? Why should incest be any different? Why would I be automatically "supporting incest" if I like the stories?
I imagine that a truly mentally disturbed person may be unable to draw distinction between fiction and reality, or a fragile person may be "triggered" by something that upsets them (regardless if the fictional subject matter is incest, murder, or any other action that is forbidden in real life), but frankly a creator of a fictional work cannot be responsible for that. Ideas can and should be freely expressed, and how others choose to react to the fact that these ideas exist is up to them.
I also don't think anything is different when my subject matter involves sexual activity of underage characters. I write fiction as an adult for an adult audience, and I tag my stories appropriately. Tumblr is completely free to remove my stories if they wish (they already have with one of them). If they do, I won't cry about it, it's their choice. I have other places to post.
For what it's worth, I do *not* support incest in real life, particularly underage. Even if a scenario is completely consensual (a debatable notion in most situations), there's still an awful lot of things that can happen that really make it a bad idea. There are perfectly valid reasons why incest is legally and morally forbidden in pretty much the entire world. I can have this opinion, and also have the opinion that enjoying it in a fictional setting is perfectly acceptable. Normal human brains are more than capable of knowing the difference. Hopefully more people can get their heads around this basic fact, instead of losing their minds over what fictional characters are doing.
