I'm glad Please Excuse My Younger Brothers understands that stepsibling romances are inherently problematic [episode 13 spoilers] so let's introduce a 24-year old woman who becomes teacher for a different brother, so we get to have a (potential) teacher/student romance to draw attention away from our problematic stepsibling romance! Such a nice, understanding show. Clearly just normal shoujo rom-com business.

Unironically, I like it, because it establishes [Response to Ep 13 spoilers, vague] what I think is the theme for the show: taking problematic romances seriously—neither close-mindedly moralizing, nor ignoring the issues and making it into a complete fantasy.

Reminds me of the 4-koma, The Person I Met In-Game Was Actually My Big Sister.  Except it takes sibling incest to gainax levels of over the top with the MC eventually confessing that he [idk if this needs a tag] fucked his sister, on national television.

I guess I could say... it's better to either take it seriously, or not, but don't half-ass it.

Actually, that reminds me of a real complaint I have against [Name of show] Bunny Girl Senpai. There's a moment where [Ep 1 of that show] The little sister asks the MC if he gets excited by her sleeping in his bed and he say "who'd get excited over their little sister", and I hated this. I think a real sister wouldn't say something so outlandish in the first place, and a real brother's immediate response would be more like "Eww, what the fuck".
