Iβm genuinely amused by all of the tcest hate on this site. Just about every turtles post I see has an anti-tcest tag in it somewhere regardless of what the post even is. Like, it could be a bad ass picture of my boi Leonardo and there will be a tag telling tcest shippers to fuck off and die in a hole. I personally am not a tcest shipper, hell, Iβm really not much of a shipper at all. My only two ships are Naruto and Sasuke mostly for the meme and Ukyo and Ryoga from Ranma Β½.
Anyway, this hate for tcest just seems so out of control and the irony of the whole thing is hilarious. People donβt like it cause the turtles are βbrothersβ and that means you canβt ship them cause itβs a sin or some shit. Look, the turtles are basically just step brothers. No version of them is or has ever been blood related.
Now granted nothing has ever outright stated their relation one way or another, Donatelloβs line to Michaelngelo in the 07 movie of β Yeah that would make her your mom to doofus.β doesnβt count. Rise, as awful as that version is, takes all this a step further by making them all different species of turtles. Yes you could argue that they still grew up together as brothers, but like I said theyβre basically step brothers. THEYβRE NOT RELATED! Thereβs a similar hate, although not as strong, for 2012 Leo and Karai.
Iβve seen people bash 2012 Leorai shippers cause of the pseudo incest. Honestly this one has less of a reason to get hate than tcest cause she didnβt even grow up with them. We donβt even find out that sheβs SPOILERS Splinter/Hamato Yoshiβs daughter till well after we meet her and by then Leo and her have already been flirting. What are they supposed to just knock that shit off since theyβre βrelatedβ? Fuck off theyβre not even the same species!
Which brings me to my last point, BESTIALITY! Itβs just okay? Accepted? Iβve never seen it come up as an argument or at all really. People have shipped Leo and Karai for the longest time, it gained a lot of steam thanks to the 03 series and not once has Leo being a GIANT MUTATED TURTLE been a problem.
But you throw in some vague, distant relationship to Splinter and now itβs bad? Get the hell outta here. Leo being a turtle, not human in anyway like Karai, isnβt an issue but being her step brother is a big no-no. No one brings up the bestiality aspect with Apriltello either. Every complaint Iβve seen thrown at them talks about how April is a bitch sometimes and that Donnie is a creep.
The complaints with Apriltello point out how the show lessens them as characters. Not how one is human and the other is a GIANT MUTATED TURTLE! Seriously, no one ever brings up the inter-species romance as a problem but the βincestβ is gross. What and turtle on human isnβt? I just donβt understand how thatβs okay but the other isnβt.
Look, I want to make it clear that itβs fine to not like tcest or 2012 Leorai. Itβs fine to not like any ship. I need you to understand that Iβm not trying to force you to like a ship that youβre not a fan of. Thereβs just so much unnecessary hate for those ships that are more toxic than the actual ship themselves. Β Even as someone that doesnβt partake in those ships just seeing all the hate for them was so out of control I couldnβt not say something.
I know that a majority of you are going to come at this hate, I almost look forward to it. Iβm aware that this is absolutely going to get me blocked and thatβs fine. Most of you that spew all of that hate arenβt worth interacting with anyway, so no real loss.
