    "we didn't know we were related" almost never happens and actual violence happens consistently

    exactly, there's firm irreligious objections to incest with the thought-experiment defenses being so peculiar and rare they're not worth treating with. if there ever were someone arrested for 'we didn't know!' like sure, free them but the diagnostic there is a less awful justice system, not philosophical musing on a fetishized sex crime

      "Accidental incest" happens more often than people think, particularly in smaller isolated counties. It's something of a problem in Iceland for example.

        yeah it's not something people would advertise about themselves. in that rare exception sure i'm not gonna go on the twitter dot com and cancel some random married couple that did not break up a long term relationship over it, but that's usually not what the weirdos who argue for it are talking about.
