I guess I don’t see an ethical difference between fictional “step” incest and fictional normal incest. In both cases it involves people that don’t exist. Plus all the ethical issues with incest carry over to step siblings anyway. The idea that one is ok and the other isn’t seems really silly to me.

I loath the modern obsession with minimalist, utilitarian design. Everything is just a white, black, or grey slab with no artistic thought put into its form. Buildings, homes, cars, clothes, electronic devices. It’s almost like a capitalist version of brutalism. Even the design of user interfaces is usually a pile of flat, washed out rectangles now. It’s like the soul has been sucked out of everything we make, reduced to it’s most basic form. It can feel anti-human at times. Like the world has collectively decided that beauty is a waste of time.
