incest shippers fucking ruined the concept of siblings loving each other everytime i use the word “love” between two siblings i feel like some creep or some poor guy who doesnt know me will think im talking about romantic love and i find myself beating around the bush in every possible way to avoid the word love 😦

And yeah, like other people pointed out it doesn’t only ruin the way we see siblings in fiction but also the way we relate with our siblings in reality and it’s so gross and disheartening

Once my little brother (2 yrs younger) stopped by the library while I was studying and finishing up some work for my next class, and we chatted for a bit before I gave him a kiss on the cheek and wished him well on his test next period since he had to go. He hugged me and said good luck on finishing my essays before heading off.

One of my acquaintances from class was there, and asked who that was. Specifically they asked if that was my boyfriend because I seemed affectionate with him.

I politely corrected them that it was my little brother and, coming from a Hispanic/Family like mine, we might be more openly affectionate and caring with one another than others are.

Laughing, they told me “wow, if I didn’t know any better I would’ve thought you two were incestuous, you’re so close!”

I wish the idea of fucking SIBLINGS interacting with care and affection for one another wasn’t sexualized like that. I wish I didn’t have to second guess telling my own family I love them because someone might think that it’s scandalous, telling my brother I love them because it obviously means /that/, right? And it wasn’t the first time someone said something like that. Another time someone told me they fucking shipped me and my brother because we were close and it drives me up the fucking wall
