I would chime in here to say

"Parent/child incest is almost never consensual (I only say "almost never" and not "never ever" because I suppose it's possible for a parent to have consensual sex with their child if that child is a fully independent grown up - though even there I'm not totally sure)."

holds true in real life, but not for fiction. Consensual parent/child especially adopted parent/adopted child is a kink I've seen a lot in fiction, with many instances of the adopted child being the reader stand-in and therefore being attracted to the adopted parent. Burt/Kurt in Glee is a thing. Sheriff Stilinski/Stiles is a thing. Most of it is treated as consensual.

Okay but that stuff still needs a warning.

Like, to use one of your examples, if I was reading a Burt/Kurt fic that hadn't been tagged as such and had nothing in the summary to indicate what it was, I'd be pissed off once I realized it was incest.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't disagree. I was pointing out that fiction and reality are very different for that particular kink, and keeping that distinction there is important.

holds true in real life, but not for fiction.

Personally that distinction doesn't hold much weight for me. Never has. It's the same with master/slave stories and they-said-no-but-they-wanted-it stories. If a person is a slave they can't consent. If a person says no, it's rape to fuck them anyway. The fact that we can be inside the character's head and know that they actually do want it doesn't change that for me. Parent/child is just the most extreme example of this.

If you're AYRT and the distinction between fiction and reality doesn't hold weight for you I don't think there's anything I can say to that, honestly, besides people are not characters and characters are not people. But if I am reading you correctly, that won't matter to you either, so it's moot.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the things we eroticize hold weight, and the things we normalize hold weight. And those things do have a proven effect on the way people view reality. But it's moot. Sure, yeah. Sure. Moot.

[(Anonymous)]

But a large part of the draw of incest kink in fiction is that it's taboo. Ergo, no-one is trying to normalize it, because then it would no longer be taboo and thus lose it's draw.
