Ship Wars in Game of Thrones/ASOIAF Fandom: …and that’s why it’s weird and gross for Jon Snow to sleep with a woman he thought wasn’t related to him but was actually his slightly younger aunt, but totally normal and functional for him to sleep with his first cousin whom he grew up believing was his younger half-sister, even though they grew up in the same household and he has/had a close sibling relationship with all or most of her full siblings.

Ship Wars in Stranger Things Fandom: Mike and El’s relationship is incestuous because sometimes he is condescending (like a dad), and that’s why it’s problematic to interpret Mike as bi instead of gay (because it’s somehow less incestuous if he doesn’t actually want to make out with her).

#incest tw #I don’t even have strong feelings about any of these ships #j*nerys is unobjectionable in the context of got to me #but not particularly interesting #I do think j*nsa is very weird psychologically and some of the shippers were the wooooorst #but I get the appeal of the weirdness and I do think the actors had romantic chemistry #I do actually believe that a m*leven breakup plus b*ler would be the most satisfying ending to the triangle #and gay Mike is the most compelling interpretation of the character to me #but (a) m*leven is fine as an awkward first relationship #and (b) I’m not taking any of this that seriously because they’re high school freshmen #also. like. Mike doesn’t think of himself as El’s dad #if he wants to make out with her it’s not pathological #everyone needs to chill
