I like you, too. ♥ Although I try never to blame anyone for their gut reactions on a topic, it's nice to see people thinking about them and dissecting them rather than just blindly accepting them. If we can't question our ways of thinking, we can't really grow.

You're right, there's always funky conditions attached to what is called "universal" - like with murder, throughout the ages we've sanctioned all kinds of murder, and we still do today (murder during wartimes, murder by the state) but there also exists this durable conception of a wrong being committed. With my conception of incest across cultures, I believe that in nearly all places some type of incest is taboo? There's just, like you nicely point out, a lot more leeway around the world with what we would consider unthinkable. If I'm wrong at any point, feel free to correct me, since I'm not a student of Anthro but of Soc. Incidentally if there's a culture that exists out there where all types of incest are permitted I'd find that incredibly interesting. *_*

Taboos that reach far and wide, even in the most liberal definition of the thing, are fascinating to me, precisely because our cultural conceptions worldwide and throughout history are usually so extremely malleable. I agree, the frame is definitely crucial; especially because we ostracize incestuous partners, it reinforces a "check" on people who go against the grain of our socially evolved knowledge. Unfortunately, it means that some individuals whom are able to cope without hurting anyone around them or themselves will also have to deal with a lot of stigmatization that might likely destroy their relationship anyway.

This is why I love Anthro students, srsly. ♥ It's just ... great to see a reasonable amount of openmindedness and consideration for a cultural perspective. So thank you for being awesome.

Yeah, I suspect it's something like that. "You're ruining canon!" But canon will always be there and discouraging interpretation will make fandom a little bit more boring, I think. Especially since even a fic that obeys canon could be godawful. It's all about execution.
