I don't think your logic is sound. "Growing up together" as in you were friends/acquaintances from childhood isn't the same thing as growing up together as siblings, in the same house, with the same parents.

[ninety6tears]

Yeah. It can hit similar squicks--which is why a lot more people than OP seems to have come across DO dislike childhood sweetheart ships--but it's not the same.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly it probably depends on the level of growing up together? I can see why 'childhood sweetheart' relationships where it's implied they pretty much lived in one another's pockets/were always at the other person's house/called their parents mom and dad also could get squicky to people who are squicked by blood-incest.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. And I definitely think it's squicky if they were raised like cousins, supposing the families were also close.

[(Anonymous)]

I suppose, though "childhood sweethearts" to me already suggests that the relationship is seen as romantic (albeit puppy love romantic) and not as two siblings, so it's still an important distinction.

[(Anonymous)]

The Flash TV show had some blurred lines in that regard, with one of the main pairing being fostered with his love interest from about age 8. That was...weird.

[(Anonymous)]

Childhood sweethearts calling each other’s parents mom and dad? Never heard of or read about that happening. It has WAY different associations than adopted siblings.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

Yeah, we treat family relationships as different from other relationships, it's not a new thing. Kind of a fuzzy line between them but the principle is consistent
