Why is outcest such a prevalent trope in anime?

people find incest bad because of retarded child bearing sadly

@DigiCat You mean people like:

• Leonard Darwin
  
• George Darwin
  
• Horace Darwin
  
• Francis Darwin
  
• William Darwin
  
• John Byrne

?

@Zarutaku Mentioned so many Darwin's, how about mentioning that their dad learnt thru his research that inbreading was in fact not a so great idea despite it being pretty common among people of his social status in his time and was in fact worried about the consequences it could have on his kids health


I also wouldn't use someone who condoned the abuse of his own mother while seeing first hand the mental health effects it had on her as an example of a "good outcome of incest"

@DigiCat Sapolsky mentions that inbreeding and outbreeding both have their perks and suggests that for many animals, the ideal relative to mate with is actually a third cousin. Which can lead to more than 50% of their genome identical by descent, thus providing more genetic homogeneity. But I do agree that inbreeding can increase the risk of aberrations. I mean, it really depends on case to case. A brother and a sister, who are in their prime health and have no genetic diseases, their child might benefit from higher genes.

@Xypheron I don't see how being in prime health and free of genetic diseases can be a benefit when said inbreeding is what can cause genetic mutations and lowerd immune system

Because they simple don't have the right frame of mind

Twincest is honestly one of the most romantic relationships out there, how many other couples can say that they have been together since literally the womb? They have shared each other's warmth and body heat since their very conception. Their naked bodies have known each other since before they even knew other people existed. Super romantic.

@DigiCat Inbreeding can make harmful recessive mutations more likely to manifest, not all genetic variations are harmful. The outcomes of inbreeding vary widely depending on the specific genetic backgrounds of the parents and the nature of the mutations involved. To answer your question, being in good health and free of genetic diseases does reduce the risk of passing on certain health issues but it doesn’t eliminate the risk of genetic mutations entirely.

@Xypheron The risk of passing on health issues, yes, but i'm talking about genetic mutations, not inheriting an already existing mutation

And although yes, not all mutations are bad, the chances of getting a bad mutation out of incest are still higher than that of getting an X-Man, so i wouldn't call it the best way to attempt genetic engeneering

@DigiCat Serious question: Would you have wanted to be the result of inbreeding?

Nothing out of the ordinary, average child mortality in the UK was above 25% when his children were born.
Beginning 1900 it started to drop rapidly because of game-changing medical advances.

Nice try equating incest with abuse, but we know it's not the same. Abuse is bad and it's a plausible cause for his mother's schizophrenia.
If that was the case, then she wouldn't have gotten ill if she loved her father and voluntarily had a child with him.
Anyway, their first-degree inbred son turned out to be fine.

@Zarutaku
He fucked his own daughter! That means he either raped or groomed her, that IS abuse!

@DigiCat Please read more carefully, I already confirmed it's abuse and that it's bad, but abuse isn't equal to incest, they are entirely different things.

@Zarutaku And if you read more carefully you'd see i infact never insinuated that, what is abusive isn't that they're simply related, but that they're father and daughter!

And mother and son is no better, it's not "romantic" as you put it, it's repulsive

You did, by trying to say that he isn't a good outcome of incest because his mother got abused.

@Zarutaku He isn't a good outcome, he is condoning his grandfather's abuse of his mother, in what world would someone like that be considered sane?

@DigiCat I see, that's how you meant it. Well, assuming that he really condoned it, that doesn't mean he approved of it.
He just came to terms with it and accepted the past, because he couldn't change it anyway, that's a fairly sane attitude.

@Zarutaku @DigiCat How many times have you debated this topic already?

@Cielord I think for the 3rd time, not sure.

@Zarutaku You aren't tired at this point? It seems like a very futile discussion, or is it that you two enjoy talking to each other? Some enemies to lovers shenanigans?

@Zarutaku
There you have it, you can clearly see incest won't get accepted by the public any time soon....😞😞😞 We really need to establish an Incestan to protect love, either in Antarctica or Pakistan because those come to mind when thinking about incest capitals of the world (another thing penguins and Pakistanis have in common)

@Jackson1333 but people will know they're twins because they look alike.......
