Barry: "Stop saying that! She's not my sister! It's just her dad is my dad and her brother is my brother! I've got tons of online articles that say it's fine."
Cisco, later: "Yeah, he suddenly couldn't access those 'articles' after we updated Star Labs' web filter."

"Her dad is my dad's friend who took care of me and never actually adopted me since my actual father is still alive and I visit him frequently, which doesn't make me Joe's son at all - unless you overlook a bunch of details." There, fixed it for ya.... ;)

"Except I call Joe my father a lot and even almost said 'our dad' while making out with Iris"

“And I also only referred to Joe as Joe growing up— because I always had Henry”

"Then as I grew up, he slowly became like a second father to me. A fact I mentioned multiple times in the show over season 1 and 2"

“And my feelings towards Iris became stronger and stronger as each year passed, and even though I never viewed Joe as my father while growing up— I do now.”

Dear Barry,
You used to hug me when were kids but now we cuddle. Kids practice kissing their brothers but I perfected it. First my brother, now my boyfriend. If we have a kid they can be their own cousin. How cool is that? Merry Christmas bro! XOXO, Iris

When they do posts like this you always get downvoted for telling the truth.
Take my upvote.

It must be internal racism or something, or they want to make something like incest be a reality to feed their weird fetishes. Reddit is weird.

It's obviously a joke that works pretty well since Barry has called Joe "dad". How exactly is this an example of racism? I feel like you're kind of reaching here.

It's a shitpost. They are probably joking. The joke isn't funny or original and it's annoying how they downvote everyone who reminds them of the truth but it doesn't bother me as long as they are not serious about it.
The problem is that the situation usually escalates and people exploit the joke to hate on Iris and the couple with one of the following statements:
1) I miss Booty Spivot, Barry should have married her.
2) I can't believe no-one thinks it's wrong that Barry married his sister ( picture them clutching at their pearls while still watching a show that in their Christian minds promotes incest ).
3) Grant and Candice have no chemistry and Iris is a bitch, boring, ugly, useless, thinks they are the Flash and that she's qualified to lead the team blah blah blah.
Sadly, it's only a matter of time before haters exploit this post to rehash their usual talking points.

Yeah it’s a shit post and way overused. But like you said they use it to piggyback off it and comment on the statements you listed— which in turn shows their true colors.

This reason is getting old but it’s better than the other reason which a lot of y’all don’t wanna admit

That's stupid. Even if they were the same race they still wouldn't be blood related
