This is going to be a fun one.

So here are the facts:

I commented on a news article about a mother and adult son charged with incest (and adultery as well for her.) This is what I said:

Someone responded to me and I replied before I realized my original comment was removed for being inappropriate. Then I added the edit when I saw.

The next day I discovered I’d been banned from that community for “pro-incest comments” and several others I don’t think I’ve ever been in for rule 4 violations. The orignal post was removed.

You can see those here:

Site rule 4 is: Usernames or posts/comments containing transphobia, homophobia, sexism, racism, ableism, zionism, anti-veganism, or trivializing COVID. No self-described or obvious fascists, conservatives, or reactionaries.

My comments had none of those things. I’d even go so far as to say my banning was reactionary.

Now, I’m not defending incest, especially not for myself. My problem is with puritanical laws interfering with the private sex lives of people. In my original comment I stated that grooming was a separate issue and should be dealt with, but that there is nothing inherently wrong with incest. That is, enthusiastic consensual sex between capable adults.

I know someone will bring up the Hapsburgs, so yes, children of incest should be avoided.

    The power dynamic thing is also an issue for relationships with age gaps like marrying someone who the older person knew as a minor, but who is not related. Like a teacher marrying a student after the student is an adult. Or someone in their 30s marrying a young adult from their neighborhood who was in their scouts program. They are not exactly the same, but can be very similar, especially when family isn’t all located in the same place

    To be honest I do not think that would be a power dynamic problem. If that’s a power dynamic problem, it’s an immaturity of the younger member problem. This is not how I see adults I knew from when I was a kid, and it’s not how I see younger adults who I knew as kids when I was an older kid

        It’s just my opinion about that specific situation little lucifer. I, as an adult, would not let myself get groomed by an adult. Guess it doesn’t apply to everyone
