    Because we live in a world where it’s easy to block offensive words, so much so that the powers that be like to pretend that blocking talk about the 'cest is somehow an effective tool in combating it. (When instead it just coins an endless stream of new words that act as synonyms for ‘the bad words’. 'Cause funk you. Funk you to heck!)

      I think the technical term is like ‘fauxcest’ or something? It’s the ‘I can’t belive it’s not incest’ thing. Stepfamily, fictional rp and meme subs. It’s like a whole brand. They all walk the line but the incest ones especially do.
