It’s still not ok, I think, to seriously contemplate that kinda stuff. But like with some movies, it’s acceptable since it’s just for entertainment over realism or seriousness.
Society’s current objection to incest is mainly based on the moral guidelines of specific religions and partly on the impact it has on a genetic level.
Some species of animals only still exist today because they went on a mass inbreeding spree to ensure survival thousands of years ago, so it’s not something that should be considered as “filthy” or “immoral”.
That said, incest still isn’t accepted as a normal thing by many human cultures (and I doubt it ever will), but that doesn’t mean that the topic should be taboo.
and I hope it stays that way, Incest does exist in some cultures both in the past “ancient Egyptians” and present “the royal British family?”, it’s just really you can’t imagine sleeping with your mom\sister…ugh even the thought of it is sickening
But without incest Game of Thrones wouldn’t have quite a bit of its plot moving forward.
yes I know that, and I like that show a lot, only the “incest” bit that I hate about it, and like I said before, it’s only acting, but let me put it this way, tomorrow we will see more and more shows\movies that put incest scenes in them as if it’s okey, with time, people will get used to this and will start to accept the Idea, and I won’t be surprised if we hear MORE news of brothers\fathers humping their daughters etc…)
when is the remake of oldboy coming out
Oh right, the same way violent media has been proven to have a direct influence on the increase in violence…
Yeah, you might be overblowing things a bit there.
How is the incest in GoT portrayed as “okay”? It’s quite the opposite even, considering that the entire realm is having a hissy fit because the current king is the demon bastard spawn of brother and sister.
Yeah, I’ve never seen anything portray incest as acceptable. Like GoT, it’s an important part of the story, but it’s portrayed as a flaw at best, and as a grave sin at worst.
Children of Húrin (a story by Tolkien set in Middle-earth) also has incest in it, but there it’s in a classical literary tragedy, where they don’t even know they’re brother and sister. When they find out, the sister kills herself. Man, that’s really a good book, you ppl should read it.
Someone (not Peter Jackson/Hollywood) should make a movie out of it ^^
do you think its maybe kinda whack that we can have and voice such strong opinions about what consenting adults get up to in private just because in this case we have been trained by our culture to find it super grody. like i guess theres a chance people can have fucked up children but by that logic it would be ok to say that people with inheritable diseases or disabilities shouldn’t be allowed to bone.
It’ still icky tho.
On another note, mosquitoes are the worst.
Yeah I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong with it as long as they are two consenting adults, but yeah, it’s still icky :3
TV shows only really use incest if they want to be edgy, like how Battlestar Galactica did an episode about abortion.
OH MY WORD. I count 5 mosquito bites on the right side of my lower leg alone, and I have plenty more. I’m squirming in itchiness :fffuuu:
Hah, mosquito bites disappear really quickly for me, so they don’t bother me. But the mosquitoes themselves, fucccck stfu. Haven’t heard much of them this summer so far though 
I’ve got a ton of mosquito bites, but they’re not really bothering me that much for some reason. Maybe I’m just immune to them like I supposedly am poison ivy. (An assertion which I have no intention to test anytime soon.)
DO IT FAGGOT
Fucking chumps. You only get mosquito bites if you go outside. Just stop doing that.
Bed bugs trump mosquito bites, in itchiness, redness, and the fact that the little fuckers are disgusting.
Thats nothing, my friends dad was out camping in the woods alone and he woke up to find that he had accidentally slept on top of a moles tunnel and the little fucker had tried to surface during the night, and, thinking that its tunnel had caved in, dug a new burrow right though his abdomen. The irony is that he had gone out there to kill himself and the mole had tunneled right thru a belly bursting with sleeping pills and booze, saving his life and ending its own in one swoop
