    Evangelion’s romance options are absolutely fucked. I guess Rei would also qualify as incest too come to think of it?

    I watched “The Irregular At Magic Highschool” when it came out and every episode I was hoping they wouldn’t go hard on this angle, lol.

        There’s a disturbing trend of pseudo or outright incest in Japanese media. Step siblings, cousins, actual siblings, etc. I mean western porn does it too with step-whatevers but it at least isn’t in kids cartoons afaik.

            I mean its like the top category for the last some years in the US as well. Elon’s dad has multiple children with a woman who was his adopted daughter. The pedo in chief is on TV talking about how attractive his own daughter is. Listening to women and stories of sexual abuse by family are a dime a dozen. I unfortunately don’t think it is just a regional thing but that they are more open with it and don’t take the effects of it seriously.
