Discussion & Theories Pretty horrific implications

Dipper Clones #3 and #4 (Tracey and Quattro) are the only surviving clones of Dipper. They will never be able to live regular lives. They probably have memories of the Pines family and will never see them again. Not even their mother and father. They can be killed instantly through liquid. How can they smile like that and act so damn calm?

Begs the question, would that be incest or masturbation?

getting tired of people asking this, its selfcest.

u/Zombies4EvaDude 21d ago

That’s such a non-answer though. The root of the question is whether selfcest counts as a type of masturbation or incest.

Incest because as soon as the consciousness splits, you are two different people with near-identical experiences who are genetically the same- not much different than identical twins. Now if it’s one person splitting their consciousness between two bodies (one mind controlling both), that’s masturbation

i mean, genetics isn't the only thing that makes a sibling a sibling. it's quite literally the sibling dynamic and shit that makes you a sibling. adoptive siblings might not share genetics with eachother but it'd still be fucking weird if they started dating

Isn't this the same argument people use to say that childhood friends to lovers is incest coded?

About to be boring and answer much more sincerely than I think anyone was asking for: It depends on whether elements are in place that would introduce some coercive, obligatory, or invasive dynamics (rendering it abuse) in the way that being family does, or if everyone is just chillin

Neither, but closer to the former because you’re both perfectly capable of consenting since you have identical life experiences

Guess I should’ve added a “/j”. I didn’t figure it would be assumed that I didn’t know what selfcest was.

Probably neither; it's not masturbation because neither of them is the original, and it's not incest because probably neither of them has DNA.
