I know for me the difference is whether the characters are represented by drawings or people.

Live action shows? Have real life actors/actresses in them doing real life things. The same reason the thought of doing anything with, for example, an actual child turns my stomach. A child character in a live-action series is played by an actual child. Which makes me go "oh HELL no!"

But when it's stylized like the Osomatsus or, say, Ciel Phantomhive.. they are human-like, but not actual humans. There is exaggeration somewhere that makes it more fantastical. So my brain applies the same logic it does to supernatural creatures like werewolves or vampires.

Aka those aren't real kids. They're alien beings who vaguely resemble human children.

Similar to this, the discrepancy between an animated character and their voice actor (and the voice actor's other roles) results in a lot of crossed wires in my head. Specific example: I have no problem with either twincest ship in Gravity Falls, because I know none of the actors are related... but I get uncomfortable when I see Kristen Schaal in anything even remotely sexual in nature because of her roles as Mabel and Louise even though she's actually 38 and not even remotely a preteen.

This reminded me of something I want to make a secret about, so I'm going to keep it vague, but how would you feel about shipping something where the actors were related (whether the characters were or not)? I'm kind of in that situation at the moment and it's making me very conflicted. :(

That would... probably bother me a bit, maybe? But if the characters weren't related, it might be a bit easier to let myself ship it. Probably. I don't know, I think I'd have to actually deal with that situation to have a good answer. You should make that secret! It's an interesting problem.

ayrt

Yeah, it's just making me feel uneasy. It's hard to say whether the characters are related in this case (it's...complicated) but I keep trying to tell myself it shouldn't matter if the actors are related or not because it's not them I'm shipping, it's their characters. It's not totally working though lol.

I think I will make the secret! I've never seen this kind of thing mentioned here so I guess it could make for an interesting discussion, maybe.
