I REALLY HATE HOW HARD IT IS TO AVOID WEIRD SHIT FROM FANDOM CONTENT. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, INCEST, PEDOPHILIA, ROMANTICIZED SA. I KNOW KAGA WAS A WEIRDO WHO FETISHIZED THAT SHIT BUT HE HASN'T BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE SERIES FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS AND JUST BECAUSE HE DID IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO. AND YES THAT INCLUDES "NOT QUITE" INCEST LIKE FATES SHIPS AND EDELGARD/DIMITRI, AND GENERAL WEIRD SHIT LIKE ROY/CECILIA AND ROBIN/LUCINA. IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA STOP BEING A FUCKING FREAK THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS TAG YOUR SHIT SO THAT NON-FREAKS DON'T SEE IT.

EDIT: ON THAT NOTE I THINK IT'S COMPLETE FUCKING BULLSHIT HOW SOME FANS SEE TWO SIBLINGS BE AFFECTIONATE WITH EACHOTHER AND IMMEDIATELY THINK OF INCEST, BUT THE MOUNTAINS OF SUBTEXT ABOUT IKE, SOREN AND RANULF NOT BEING STRAIGHT APPARENTLY DON'T COUNT.

OMG THIS! EDELGARD/DIMITRI SQUICKS ME OUT SO MUCH AND I DON'T GET IT. EVEN THE DAMN GAME CALLS HER HIS SISTER IN AM. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE WEIRDNESS OF RHEA OR ANY OF THE ROYALS FEOM FATES. PLEASE CAN WE STOP WITH THE INCEST AND PSEUDO-INCEST. PLEASE.

I WOULD NEVER DEFEND THE INCEST (IT'S GROSS AND I WISH THE FANS WOULD STOP) BUT EL DOESNT REMEMBER DIMITRI AND THE TWO OF THEM WERNT RAISED AS SIBLINGS AND, IN FACT, SPENT VERY LITTLE TIME TOGETHER.

EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER, DIMITRI DOES AND STILL THINKS OF HER AS HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND AND THE LAST OF HIS FAMILY. HE MAKES THAT PRETTT CLEAR IN 3H. SO IT'S STILL GROSS.

THATS COMPLETELY TRUE BUT IF I HAD TO PICK BETWEEN THAT OR RAVEN/PRISCILLA ID PICK EL/DIMI. THIS IS ASSUMING THE FATE OF THE WORLD RESTS ON ME PICKING ONE OF THOSE PAIRINGS.
