I ❤️ Realistic Depictions Of Incest @isthisanincestgem - Tumblr Blog

What is an incestgem?

Incestgem is a silly term survivors of incestuous abuse coined to describe media that portrays incest in a realistic way, without romanticization. Incestslop is the opposite

How do I submit a potential incestgem?

Send an ask with the name of a piece of media that contains incest, and I’ll create a poll

Is this a fetish?

Nope! A lot of abuse victims become preoccupied with the subject of their abuse, as a symptom of their trauma. I’m one of these people. I think incest is very complex and interesting. It bothers me that it isn’t talked about or portrayed in media in a way that explores that complexity, because incest itself (even if not romanticized) gets a constant disgust reaction from wider audiences

Something that’s important to me is actually exploring a piece of media and not just going with the crowd. A lot of things involving incest can get boiled down to “that thing about incest” or accused of romanticizing it when it isn’t. So if you haven’t consumed a piece of media in these polls, I encourage you to do so and think for yourself

I don’t go here, but why’d I see someone point out that this one Bandori girl is an emotional incest victim and someone’s first response was “Welll, the other girls have it worse, at least her mom financially supported her. I’d die to have a mother like that.” There is something wrong with the heads of the nonincested

nothing enrages me more than bad reviews on art dealing with heavy topics i.e. pedophilia or incest that are in the vein of “this is gross” or “this is disturbing what the hell is wrong with this author” even funnier “what is wrong with these characters?!” like you have no comment on the substance of the story whatsoever? you don’t think exploration of these complicated dynamics is a worthwhile endeavour? you seriously have a space designated for “icky things” in your mind that noone must mention least of all properly engage with and explore or it automatically devalues their art and makes them a freak or a weirdo or whatever? how these people live their lives utterly baffles me. complete disinterest about anything that disturbs them and a total lack of ability to discern between the author’s beliefs and what they’re trying to convey through the story. these people genuinely need to be sent to the gulag sorry

TW// INCEST

i’m surprised people though the secret history was an incest gem. the plotline came off to me at the time as very “look at those different gendered twins, obviously they must twistedly incestual” without unpacking the trope or any realistic context or consequences for that relationship. basically it came off as shock value to me. would love to know everyone else’s conflicting opinions though!

I haven’t read it in a couple years but that was also basically my opinion. I had to look up what people were saying about it to refresh my memory and see if I was wrong. There seems to be a perpetrator at least? Charles is shown to be physically abusive and possessive of Camilla. But I think the main purpose of the incest is to emphasize the eccentricity of the group, the Greek mythology of it all

#might sift through my copy later #i read it because everyone always raves about it but i found myself a bit disappointed with the overall story #incest talk
