I watched an anime starting like it⦠Lol. But seriously. Itās middle ages or something like that. It was totally ok back thenĀ
@lux-unluckster why should you care about peopleās love interests? As long as itās not in rapy-area you shouldnāt worry yourself about it
hooooooooo boy. Well, first off ,no, it wasnāt ok back then, and even if it was, that doesnāt justify it being promoted today, especially since FE appeals to modern morality in so many other situations.
But seriously guys, repeat after me:Ā
INCEST. IS NOT. ROMANTIC.
Incest is predatory. Incest is manipulative. Incest is based on unequal power balances that make consent impossible.Ā
Priscilla and Corrin are not real. Their attitudes were given to them by male writers. These two and the whole genre ofĀ āsisconā or whatever crap perpetuates and normalizes ideas that younger sisters are in old with their older brothers (or i guess vice versa for m!corn and cam/hinoka though those seem a bit more like a power fantasy) and blurs boundaries between familial romantic love. It also gives leeway for and normalizes male predatory behavior towards their family members. If someone seriously thought they were in love with their sibling in real life theyād need therapy, not to be told those attitudes are okay and normal. Hell, FE7 seems to mostly understand that in Priscillaās case since when she brings it up other people (including Raven) treat it like itās weird as hell.Ā
Could you construct some convoluted hypothetical where you can argue that incest might be acceptable? I guess, but unless thatās actually happened itās not worth being considered since all thatās doing is trying to distract from the cases in front of us.Ā
IS here, through putting Priscilla on a banner calledĀ āEnduring Loveā alongside Rhajat, etc is equating Priscillaās conffused and therapy-needing feelings with romantic love (admittedly the other three characters are not exactly paragons of pure romantic love either and are pretty unhealthily obsessed but at least itās not fucking incest). And that is not even remotely acceptable.
