Wasn’t “slash” referring to fan-fiction in particular...? Shipping seems more like a passive activity.

Having lived through the dotcom boom and bust I’m getting a real kick out of this one.

My feeling has usually been “They’re two grown ass adults. I don’t see the problem.”

Well developed females are severely lacking in mainstream media. Even fewer developed relationships between sisters.

And notice the teacher’s name? If it wasn’t for it being set in Americana - who the hell uses that anymore? - I’d think it was a set-up…

You mind explaining how it is abusive (and who exactly the abuser)? This isn’t a noticably older and more experienced family member abusing the generosity or naivete of their younger family member or some other form of family member asserting power. It is as far as I can tell 2 people of similar ages who mutually want…

“Shamadacest” as well as “anything-ending-in-cest” really aren’t my cup of tea, but if the haters just had some slight sense of logic, they would be fighting over incestual content in REALLY popular things like the Game of Throne or something. I mean, if their point is about the potential wrongs it could lead to, then…

You answered your own question. The popularity of same-sex parings in fanfiction can be traced back to a time when LGBT representaion in pop culture was non-existent, so if you wanted it, you had to create it yourself. Even today, with (marginally) more queer representation in media, the rule still holds true. Why…

Kicking someone else’s sexual fantasies down is just a dick move. As long as it’s not real(-life) or bothering someone directly (as in-like stalking shit and stuff like that), it’s not a cool thing to trample on something like that. Yes, someone may have trauma’s about certain subjects and that’s a lot to deal with,…

Getting his worthless ballsac locked away for the rest of his life where it can’t contaminate a woman and inflict another generation of mouth-breathers on the world? He’s done every race a favor…

Hell, it is not even fandom. This is mainstream anime/manga type of fair. The only difference is that is is male/male, where I think most groups do not really care when it is female/male. Bonus points when they are not related by blood.

Yeah I was gonna say, tip of the damn iceberg here.

If you think incest is too taboo for fanfiction you haven’t read the right ones. Speak to me when you find out about guro and grimdark fanfictions then we will talk.

I mean, incesty ships aren’t my bag, but they are far from new.

i cannot believe i have shamed my favorite anime in such a manner

Not gonna lie, as soon as I saw the headline, I hoped that Wincest would be mentioned in this article.

“The latter was a coupling of Edward and Alfred Elric,”

As horrible as this is, I can’t snickering at the linked video where apparently his lawyer or someone asked him to put on a shirt and tie.

So much economic anxiety all over his face.

So he got convicted just because he had a difference in opinion on justified homicide?
