incest – Loki is the Philosopher King

…but it is “pseudo-incest” in the “ick! they share blood” level that most people are anti-incest. So, while yeah, it’s incest, it’s not in the evolutionarily ingrained “don’t fuck your family because bad for genes” way. But I tag with both sometimes so

If they’re both men, and therefore can’t produce children, why does sharing blood matter?

Most of the people who crusade against incestuous ships on this hellsite do so because they assume that incest is necessarily emotionally abusive and/or coercive, and that has to do with the social relationship of family, not with genetic relationship. People who avoid it because of the “squick” factor of genetic closeness are much less of a problem around here. Honestly, though, if they’re looking for Thor/Loki where they aren’t genetically related, my “Canon-Compliant” tags will serve them just fine.
