Re: What do you guys think about this? (TW: incest, possible abuse?)

Idk about twins, but I think siblings raised together have an inherent power imbalance and shouldn't be a relationship together. I'm not quite sure how I feel about separately raised.

Also, I also kind of wonder how much credence that inbreeding has for against it. I mean continuous inbreeding is obviously bad (see royal families and domestic dogs), but occasional doesn't seem to have super bad effects.

The reason inbreeding is bad is because everyone has the basis for 3 or 5 serious genetic disorders in there DNA. As long as you only have half of the disorder it's not a problem. But if your partner-in-baby-making has the same half of a genetic disorder and the baby gets two of the genes you get a problem. That is why completely healthy parents sometimes get kids with a genetic disorder there partner just happens to have basis for the same one.

With inbreeding you are dealing with two parent who have a lot of the same genetic material. Therefore they are likely to have the same half of a horrible genetic disorder. So if they do reproduce the kids are very likely to have something wrong with them.

You can of course get very very lucky that the relatives in question either haven't inherited the same basis of a horrible disease or that they just happen not to pas the same one on to their children. But there is not much chance of it.
