OP (or anybody else), as someone not into Gravity Falls, can you explain a little more why the incest shipping seems valid and why "Wendip" (I take it this is.......uh.....Dipper and the older girl is named Wendy I guess, yes?) is shit? I'm not being sarcastic at all I'm actually really curious, this fandom seems like it has sooooo much drama for what to an outsider looks like early 2000's Cartoon Network animation style. I'm wondering what all the fuss is about!

Not big into the fandom, but have seen the show.

WinDip squicks a lot of people because Dipper has a crush on Wendy, tells her, and she directly tells him she's not at all interested in him romantically. Multiple episodes after that deal with him accepting the rejection and how important it is to accept rejection gracefully, even if it hurts. There's actually a villain character who refuses to take no for an answer and is obsessed with Mabel and it's directly contrasted with Dipper's healthy processing.

For Pinecest, I would say because Mabel is literally willing to destroy the universe rather than live apart from her brother and most of the show is about how they love eachother more than anything or anyone else and nothing will ever come between them permanently. The show has it in a 100% platonic sibling bond thing, but it's not hard to see where people might want to play around with that and make it romantic.

above anon is right on about the shipping

As for the show, it has a strong plot thread throughout the two seasons and an internally consistent mythology. There were tons of clues and secret messages of the kind that inspire a devoted fandom. I wasn't watching a lot of cartoons in early 2000s but it's got miles more plottiness and world building than anything I remember.
