Wow, were people actually defending incest-full-stop? I thought it was just about incest-fic, which like all fic (IMO) is harmless. I take exception to the idea that there are things people "shouldn't" write about-- for titillation or anything else-- especially when the argument is that some poor (deluded) children might think Incest Is Good Because Some Ficcer Has A Bizarre Kink Harry Potter Does It (which seemed to be her argument-- correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm hazy on the whole thing). Because anyone who's that impressionable has no business being on the internet unsupervised.
'Course, I wasn't involved at all, and didn't give a damn until fandom_scruples appeared on the scene, at which point I was pointing and laughing along with the rest. Didn't read the post in question, didn't read the comments, though frankly it doesn't surprise me-- there are jackasses that cry "homophobe" at the drop of a hat. Such a good insult. "Homophobe" is the new "fag"!
Really, she was entitled to rant about whatever she wanted, but like I said-- I don't like the implication that people "shouldn't" write... whatever. Pick a subject. Especially if it's for the Sake of the Children.
