These posts also tend to conflate incest, pedophilia and abuse, which calls to mind the slippery slope argument referenced in the Karaian article. This indicates that acceptance can be revoked after being granted. The ethics of certain kinds of shipping were passionately brought to the forefront of the conversation, as the below images show.
However, during 2013 the pendulum started to swing back really hard against sexual expression. After all, what affective difference is there between the experience of a relationship between blood siblings and adoptive or step siblings? I’d be just as adverse to entering a relationship with an adoptive sibling, why do I judge people in that kind of a relationship less? So far this follows the trajectory Karian laid out, cyberspace made me rethink the previously clear binary of acceptable non-blood relation/ unacceptable blood relation. My 8th grade mind found it hard to comprehend that there wasn’t some kind of adoption loophole in the narrative to excuse everything. Not being familiar with the show I was shocked by how omnipresent and destigmatized shipping of Sam and Dean Wincester was, given that they’re 100% blood brothers. Reading about Wincest in the Karaian article took me back to 2012, the year I first joined tumblr, when Supernatural was insanely popular and liberal attitudes toward sexual expression dominated. As I’ve spent most of my analytical energy throughout my life getting angry at tumblr posts, I’m glad I now have the chance to translate that experience into something even halfway useful to someone.
