Re: Your Storytelling Pet Peeves

The only way I've seen 2 work is when step-kids or adoption is involved, but 99% of the time it's pure incest GAAAAAH.

Oh geez, there was this manga called "Me and my Brothers" (I think?) that I was reading for a while. It started out really interesting, with this 14 year old girl's parents (one bio, one step) dying and her 4 step-brothers (children of her stepdad) coming to live with her because a) she needed a guardian (2 of them being adults) and b) they wanted to make a family now since all of them were orphaned. It was adorable and funny for the first few volumes but then lil miss now-16-year-old-stepsister suddenly falls in wuv with her oldest stepbro who is I think supposed to be like 28 and who is the closest thing to a parental figure she has. It abruptly became incredibly creepy for me because I KNEW they were going to end it with them together, so I stopped reading. I WAS SO ANGRY because the siblingly hijinks that had been going on were awesome but then the author had to RUIN it with the pseudo-incesty crap. The worst part was that she had played up the "these are my bros now and we are family and the oldest one is totes my father figure now" thing to the hilt before suddenly going all romancey out of nowhere, so it felt even MORE squicky.

Uuuuuggghhh, yeah, that is super-gross.

Now, if the kid realised that it was wrong and had issues about what to do (and can't reach out for help) that could be a sad and tragic story. But acting as if there could be a happy ending? Noooooooope.

Especially since the guy was way older and a father figure. If the older brother was around the same age and was just a brother, that'd make a lot more sense.

Oh, it was absolutely blatantly obvious that endgame was the two of them getting married. It was one of the ragiest ragequits I have ever ragequit. Especially since they had a Romantic False Lead of a guy in her class who was perfectly nice and sweet and respectful and they actually hit it off and seemed to be developing feelings UNTIL SUDDENLY SURPRISE!PSEUDOINCEST.
