    Fun fact: a child who is the product of first cousins has about as much chance of genetic defects as a child with a mother who was over 40 when she gave birth. The problem is when it happens for multiple generations.

    This doesn’t dismiss the moral issues with it, though.

      Genuine question, what are those?

      I recognize issues with large power imbalance, such as huge gap in maturity, roles (e.g.: student/teacher, worker/boss), intelligence (severe mental disability on one side), etc. where one party could easily coerce the other into something, possibly even unintentionally (e.g.: one party wants something and is already upset, the other party is worried about not only breaking up, but also getting fired and not being able to afford rent, thus pushing through).

      But in this case, if the above doesn’t apply, what are the other problems?

      If the first panel was shortened just a bit to hide the bib the third panel would have more impact
