“Hank x Connor is incest! It’s a father and son relationship!”
Me, a Hank/Connor shipper:
oh hey it’s how i came to ship hankcon
me joining the dbh fandom: oh neat i see people ship it. that’s cool. i see em more bros than anything, but i get it, comin from someone who ships another grump with someone who rebeled. rock on.
antis: THATS SO GROSS ITS INCEST
me, remembering suddenly that i’m a contrary bitch: on second thought, how cute are they tho? *spends the next two weeks reading hankcon fics*
like i get people feel they’re a father/son kinda relationship but uh pro tip
THATS NOT WHAT INCEST IS
no where in that game did i get the vibe, first of all, that connor was a replacement for cole or that hank was treating him like an adopted son. in fact, there’s literally a relationship like that in the game we can compare it to.
secondly, even if that’s a thing that’s more textual CONNOR IS AN ANDROID AND HANK IS A HUMAN
they can’t be related and thus it’s not incest in the literal sense.
my main fandom is supernatural so BELIEVE ME i know an incestuous ship, adopted and blood related kind, when i see one.
