Re: Inspired by #7

Most states specifically include it in their incest laws and all 50 states and DC's incest laws cover it regardless because of the destination between adoption (a person becoming a permanent member of a family) and guardianship (temporary).

Destination = distinction. My tablet is on crack.

I count like 12 states that have laws regarding adoption using this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_incest_in_the_United_States

And some of those only seem to be in regards to parent/child relationships.

FYI, I don't approve of incest. I think that if nothing else, it is hard for it to be completely consensual because of power dynamics. However, I do think that in a fanfic world + the world of Space vikings is held to different standards.

I just agree with the user above that it's dismissive of adoption. And maybe the laws have changed since I moved away from the country but twenty years ago it was definitely included in the incest laws of every state. I was sexually abused by my brother my entire childhood and he tried to argue that it wasn't incest because we're adopted. His lawyers wanted his case moved to another state and couldn't find one whose incest laws didn't apply to adoptees. The incest charge was the one they were most likely to get him on because he admitted it but said it was after I was of age and was consensual.

It's about societal expectations to me. Real adopted children who are supposed to be part of a family would count as incest. In a fanfic universe where people have non-family wards or guardianships and the kids aren't supposed to be regarded as family even if they live in the same house, it wouldn't be the same. If a kid's entire family was murdered by bandits and the Scottish lords of the next manor over took him in, I don't see that as a brother situation. That kind of situation with neighbors taking a kid in for a decade generally wouldn't happen in real life though, or it'd be considered official adoption, etc
