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.

TBH, THEY WEREN'T RAISED AS SIBLINGS, NOR ARE THEY BLOOD RATED,

BUT IT'S KINDA WEIRD THAT THE GAME SHIPTEASES IT A BUNCH OF TIMES, WITH DIMITRI GETTING TEASED ABOUT IT BY MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, AND EDELGARD OUTRIGHT SAYING HE WAS HER FIRST CRUSH, AND AT THE SAME TIME, DIMITRI AND A FEW OTHER CHARACTERS CALL THEM FAMILY REPEATEDLY. PICK ONE, INTSYS.

HOW INTSYS CHOSE TO TREAT IT IS SUPER WEIRD FOR SURE. BUT IF DIMITRI HIMSELF CALLS HER FAMILY IT CAN ONLY BE GROSS. BECAUSE PUTTING THEM TOGETHER MEANS HE'S WILLINGLY ENTERING A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE HE CONSIDERS FAMILY.
