u are so weird for glorifying tsukikanae and shipping them thru glasses so rose-colored that u made them have babies despite them being cousins, esp when tg actively condemns incestuous infatuations by showing explicitly how inbreeding creates mentally damaged individuals and making those who have incestuous obsessions bring nth but tragedy on themselves bc of it (hairu, furuta, mutsuki (sasaki was a parent figure) and esp kanae herself LMAO??) .. not only is it proshipping but it's doing so when the story itself condemns it, make it make sense
EYE.
I'm sorry I've been laughing at your ask. I mean, I know I'm weird, but like, I'm not sending indignant messages to people I don't know.
(Actually that's not true, I'm currently haranguing my representatives in a desperate attempt to try to get people I care deeply about out of Kabul with a ticking clock. If you live in the US, or if any followers who do see this, please contact your reps with this here and that specific request.)
In response to your question(?):
These were written in 2017 and 2018. I can offer you many more problematique ships, you didn't have to dig so deep! Really Jonerys would have been more relevant to your point.
Side note: I have no idea what proshipping is--I've seen the term around but I'm guessing it's not "just liking the concept of shipping as fun," so I have no idea whether I am or not and frankly I'm too old to care.
Listen Anon if you are actually interested in learning, I've written answers to all this before, which you could find if you searched my blog like here or here or here. You'd be surprised, such as:
In my AUs they’re not cousins because clearly I’m more comfortable with them not being cousins,
I’m personally from a culture where my first reaction is ick, but there are cultures where that’s the norm, or at least isn’t strange,
I don’t have the right to pass judgment because there are some uncomfortable ethnocentric implications there.
I didn’t know Karren and Shuu were cousins when I first started shipping them
Once I found out I hesitated, but was ultimately like whatever, it’s fiction.
If you're interested in further contemplating, consider:
nuance,
history,
the fact that you--yes, you--are certainly the product of intermarriage if you go back enough generations,
science and statistics,
the kinda ableist hint to your words,
the concept of an alternate universe and historic literary symbolism such as those associated with alchemy,
critical thinking about what makes something morally wrong and what we mean by that (hint: power dynamics and harm),
and finally, ethnocentrism and the colonialist mindset of western liberals who think their values are 100% applicable throughout all time and space.
EDIT: I’m not posting their latest response, which was... lawd. But here is what I do want to say:
