But... according to OP's story, it's not just similar familial roles. It's the specific dynamics of their relationship. The way they talk and their opinions and the way they interact.

I think I don't understand how they can be exactly the same when one group acknowledges and respects a father-daughter relationship, and the other group is two unrelated men.

And if they aren't exactly the same, what's the problem?

(Anonymous) 2019-01-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
OP looks at two characters having a conversation, and thinks that they want to fuck each other. Then she realizes that it's the same kind of conversation that she and her father have.

HOW CAN THAT NOT BE WEIRD.

Uhhhhh, I can do that easily because I know that no matter what we're saying, I have no wish to fuck my dad, and acknowledge that context changes the meaning and interpretation of very similar events?

I can look at two unrelated guys staring each other down and think 'those guys wanna fuck' and those same two guys in the same AU where they are brothers, both acknowledge they are brothers and have no incesty feelings doing the same, and interpret it as rivalry.

Cause... context matters...

+100000. Exactly.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-11 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a different anon, but I also agree that OP can understandably feel kinda icky about having romantic preferences for characters in a way that reminds them of their own parent.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-11 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. And no one is saying 'it's wrong to feel icky.' Be grossed out by whatever you want to be grossed out by.

I'm saying 'it's nothing to 'freak out' over,' it's a common thing that happens to people, and doesn't necessarily mean anything significant.

Some anon is finding that objectionable or wrong for reasons I don't understand.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-11 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a completely new anon and I have no horse in this race but I just wanna say I find this scenario way too specific to be that common. Like maybe one or two things a character does can remind you of someone, that's normal, but the OTP has ENTIRE CONVERSATIONS that are just like entire conversations they have with their dad? That's pretty unusual.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-11 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Depending on the medium? I can believe it. Plenty of slice of life out there.

But honestly? This whole thing is pretty clear cut to me:

OP wants to fuck her dad? -> OP has a problem worth freaking out over

OP does not want to fuck her dad? -> there is no potential problem besides OP finding a squick, and no amount of hand-wringing over fictional media is going to make this a problem in real life

(Anonymous) 2019-01-11 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
People should only want to fuck who they want to fuck, not actually care about each other because that is purely familial and INCESTUOUS.
