2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don't think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.

I don't want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !

While I personally have absolutely no incestual relationship desires, the only rational reason be against incest is really because there is the consanguinity issue, which can result in genetic deficiencies. Same-sex incest is for example, legal in Ireland and Germany.

Morally speaking... I too find it icky, but I'm pretty sure this is the result of how we were raised to think of it as being icky. As long as everyone involved able to legally consent, and there is no abusive power dynamic in the relationship, I really don't judge. To each their own! Just don't involve me in it! LOL

Even opposite-sex incest became legal in Sweden a couple years back. The law previously said "forbidden to have sexual intercourse with a sibling", but they changed it to "forbidden to have vaginal intercourse with a sibling". No idea if it was the (right-wing) government's intention to legalize gay-brother-sex at the same time, but here we are.
