^nope. just pointing out your joke was in bad taste. if i thought you were being serious, my response woulda been more ah....angry-sounding, for lack of better way to describe it, 382875. |
| Smooze #382913 11 months ago |
I dunno Aurora, its hard to get tones from the internet, I kinda interpreted what you said as angry to. Still even if you weren't serious, that statement could still be seen as angry, keep that in mind whatever-gender-you-are. |

a- well, hmm... it's not like they can actually cause any inbred children.
why IS incest wrong between same sex siblings, anyway? |
| Anonymous #382990 11 months ago |
@#929
My guess, the natural fact it leads to inbred children caused it to be frowned upon by society. Thus society educates all that incest is horrible, and they educate their children on that, and their children, and their children, and so on. TL;DR It's like topless beaches, in that it's a construct of society, only with actual reasons why it should not be done. |

^except the odds are slim with a single generation of it. only in sequential generations do the odds increase to levels worth worrying over. which is why i got no issue with it. cause teh dangers are exaggerated to all goddamn hell, 990.
@Smooze: tone can only convey so much a difference though. when i say angry-sounding, i mean the words would be far, far more indicative of anger. like, excessive usage of caps lock, exclamation marks, and just what was actually said in general. understand now? oh, by the way, i'm a girl. |

In fact the most probable cause for the incest taboo has nothing to do with genetics, but is instead social. It's not about shunning inbreeding, it's about promoting marriages outside one's family in order to form social ties. Intermarriage has consistently been an important factor across cultures throughout history. This is part of why royal families were so inbred; aside from "keeping the bloodline pure", they also didn't have much in the way of peers for their family to have any cause to intermarry with, socially, meaning the promotion of exogamy and by extension the taboo that arose from it was basically meaningless to them.
The point is, the taboo isn't about what incest does as much as it's about what incest doesn't do. And what it doesn't do doesn't matter quite as much in the modern world. So, the next time the subject of incest comes up, don't go straight to the kneejerk reaction of screaming about retard babies. Whatever your reaction is, make it an educated one. |

@Turnways/Aurora/ect I recall this was part of the lecture Micheal Shermer has on "Good without God: the science of good and evil"
Basically, he pointed out how an incestious relationship, that if it won't result in a inbred child, either from condom use or is homosexual; what's actually "wrong"? Technically nothing, except that it's still understood as a culture to be wrong. (the point was how societies can have a sense of 'right and wrong' established, based in biological origins, but the morals themselves still become a "just because", even if the origins no longer apply) no he wan't arguing 'for' incest, again, the point being the taboo on incest has origins on secular, biological purposes. But this isn't a religious picture, so I'll keep the Atheist talk down. While the traditional image of, say, a lion pride is one king fucks all the women, that's actually not true. A pride will regulary 'adopt' pride-less males, and give them mating access, because they instinctually know that a diverse genetic pool makes for healthier children, and having all the cubs sired by one male would cause a genetic bottleneck in the next generation. For humans (or any other world-dominant species with a planet-wide civilization, like our ponies), we're, for our numbers, actually have a fairly narrown band of genetic diversity, but are so spreat out within that band, that incest isn't as devistating for our population-- more because of the fact that, for all the natural causes that any given couple may suffer that keeps a zygote from coming to term (egg is too old, the genome doesn't copy correctly and is unable to replicate, injury, too late in the menstrual cycle), it's a drop in the bucket compared to how many become babies- especialy since we evolved and invented medicine (yes, it's a 'natural' evolutionary advantage. As I've said before, to see how it's evolution, it's either about staying alive (eating and not being eaten-- that inlcudes by viruses and pathogens), and passing on your genes. That makes our medicine and science a hell of an advantage. The only other real natural advantage we have -- and if we keep becoming fatter, we'll soon lose--- is we're long-distance runners)--- but I lost how many paranthesis deep I am, so I digress; The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect, in short, is a very old genetic instinct that means "You tend not to not desire sexual relationships with those you grow up with." Obviously, since the most likeley people you are to grow up with are blood relatives, this works against incest from occuring. Naturally, there are alot of cases where unknowing siblings have formed romantic bonds, and adoptive children not formign such, proving both inverses. tl;dr - As there's very little probability that bad things will result, especially if both parties, being informed adults, take precautions if that is a possiblity, there's no obligation or modern basis to condemn it. (addendum: time matters, so how something was is not inherently better than how it is, nor does it mean that it's reached it's limit on how it could/ought to be). Nor is it bad of you to still think it is 'icky,' since we're talking very old- not just cultural taboos, but genetic instincts as well; that it happens doesn't make you less of a man or something. Only christians think that if something happens, that their opinions on it matter -KAZING! If these were two humans who actually existed- well, I once knew an incestuous couple (brother and sister) (they drew porn for me a few times); they're ok people, and they take precautions, and they say their family is OK with what they are doing; I have no reason to begrudge them if that makes them happy, and it's no reflection on me and my tastes, or their family and upbringing. If it was two sisters, especially us males (and Pynky) would still think "two hot chicks, awesome"- especially if they're into that kind of taboo, then a threesome is all the more probable; "Winning!" (and thus, we get two women who work well together; two uteruses to bear our children-- though obviously, it's the sex par that has our attention first and foremost). |
| Aurora_Moon #383455 11 months ago |
^in short, over time people have taken an instinct, and made it a taboo to be...essentially feared. silly, since as humans we pride ourselves to a degree on our ability to go against instinct.
that sound about right Xuncu? also, not just Pynky would look at two sisters and say "two hot chicks. awesome!"...ye can add me to zat list. XD. |
