LOL I was just thinking about how prevalent "incest kink" is now on my drive home from work this morning, and I think it has to do with the forbidden element of it.

Some of the most lasting and well known stories are about forbidden romances. Many take form in class differences, and I would say in more modern times queer romances are the most well known form of forbidden romances.

Take in that as a society we progress and start breaking barriers down so that we normalize pairing up despite class differences and normalize queer romances, we generally don't feel a deep sense "forbidden" with those once common tropes.

Not to say we all want to fuck our relatives. And I know people will take that idea and run with it and take it in bad faith.
It's just that thematically speaking for storytelling sake, the feelings of "this is forbidden", it's not as easy as it used to be to just make it about a closest pair of queers anymore. It's easier to understand the "forbidden" element when it's about incest. And again, this is the more "this is for storytelling for my entertainment" side of your brain. It's not a literal interpretation of your desires or interests.
And to get really serious, if this is in line with the way society progresses and we start confronting the darker elements of society that needs correcting/addressing, I would want people to not feed into their most basic discriminatory asshole takes and again just read this off as, "Bunch of weirdos wanting us to accept that fucking your relatives is normal."
No, what I want the discourse to be around is the abuse that happens in families. Incest happens because people sexually abuse their relatives and/or are sexually abused by their relatives.
If you want to truly de-stigmatize incest, we as a society have to come to terms with the abuse in the family home and listen to victims and try to find ways to help them heal. And that means not making jokes about people who have Daddy Issues whether or not they have a Daddy Kink, because it is minimizing not only their pains/abuse but it also goes back into everyone thinking our sex lives are public (similarly to general public thinking a woman or fat person's body is public for all to judge when they're walking around in public).

I honestly didn't think I would think this hard about it, but there you go. My not researched opinions on incest and the role "forbidden romances" play in society.
