Well someone has to throw Miki under the bus xD... author clearly did it and girl needs to get over her sister.
Like I get it at some extent. It was pretty annoying when people were saying that Shiho was acting like an inceI, and I understand the feeling about not wanting to see that under every chapter, but nah, please no more incest trope in my sasakoi. Idc if I'm having double standards about fictional pixels here.
Also, there's so many mangas/animes that portraits incest as a valid love that I think people should be vocal about not wanting to see that on sasakoi. Just that...smoke is bad, yeah, but they keep selling cigarettes because a lot of people like smoking and buys it regardless a lot of people complaining. Like seriously I saw some disturbing incest ships and is way too normalized in all kind of fandoms....this could b my ‘that friend that's too woke moment’ xD.
And yeah that's an argument in my books, even if in my original comment I just wanted to make a joke but Hoot took it in the wrong side. sorry that I can't express myself better or with less words, because english is not my language.
I think we're very different in mindset ultimately, and that's fine. It sounds like you mostly want your media to be very pure and clean, free of messy elements of humanity. Fair enough and there's a lot of people like yourself. For me though there's various taboo elements in media that I think can be interesting additions to a story. I know how to separate reality and fiction as an additional factor. Plus I think there's far bigger things in life to worry about than incest in a fictional story, or judging people for incest shipping fictional characters.
Ultimately I think this arc was messy, but the incest element to me was simply one of those complicated feelings some people experience. I thought despite the messiness it was interesting to read about Miki's struggles with her feelings, and that's not going to change no matter how much people tell me that incest is bad. The people that hate incest and other taboo elements being included in media will continue to hate them regardless of my input as well. So there's not really anything else to say here, we've reached the conclusion.
So that's why I say it's okay to agree to disagree, I wish you well and a pleasant rest of your day/night.
