You know, writing ignorant sex-phobic opinions in ALL CAPS does not make them any more valid than when presented…
I by no means think the USA should be everyone's moral star, nor did I say so. What you don't seem to grasp is that WITHIN the USA there are a thousand different opinions on these topics, which is why as much as possible it is best to let the individuals involved in a situation make these decisions for themselves without the stupidity and judgementalism of bigots having any say whatsoever in the matter.

The woman directly said that my son and daughter in law's relationship is not acceptable. She's an asshole and I have no problem calling her one. We're not arguing about just a show. We're arguing about a social issue that effects millions of people all over the world. Her bigotry deserves to be called out. So I called it out.
Why would anyone care about third or fourth cousins getting married? That's ridiculous.

I'll ignore the stupid remark that I "shared my life story" and go right to the heart of it: Can you explain to the class how procreation between two people who are not blood-related could possibly have any genetic consequences at all? Thanks, we'll wait...

lol Forgive me for not checking the watch status every ten minutes. Is there somewhere in the world where it should be a problem of some kind for non-blood related siblings to have a relationship? Is there somewhere it's a good idea for people from outside the relationship to butt in? I LOVE the mother in the situation. NO judgment, just acceptance and hope for them to be happy.
I'm not even convinced this particular couple should be together, even though they obviously deeply love each other, because it is apparent there is a significant degree of psychological and emotional turmoil going on. I would want them to investigate with a therapist whether or not the younger brother's romantic love for his older step-brother is sufficiently distinct from the love he feels for him based on gratitude as his protector and for welcoming him into his family ten years ago.
It is the above commenter's self-righteous declaration that this relationship is "morally wrong" for everyone, everywhere because, well, it makes them feel icky, so that's why.
TL;DR: THE YOUNG STEPBROTHER RAPES THE OLDER ONE. THIS IS A PURPOSEFUL PLANNED RAPE, IT IS NOT ROMANTIC AND ANYBODY…

My son is 35 years old. He is married to his 31 year-old step-sister by way of my ex-wife's second marriage. They've been married about 8 years and lived together as a couple for two years before that. They have a relationship most married people would envy. Their romantic relationship evolved during their law school/undergrad years. What narrow-minded, stupid, self-righteous scolds like you think of them as a couple is of no concern whatsoever to any of us or to anyone in the town where they live. It really is only uptight, prudish weirdos like you with major hangups about sex who find anything at all wrong with it, let alone would presume to say anything, in the first place.
I love this series for many reasons. That it drives you to the brink of ALL-CAPS madness with its anti-PC, gray-area human relationship story-line messiness is icing on the cake.
Probably...and to our great benefit, the writer made a great decision. This show rocks.
I'm actually just fine. How about you?
I'm not defending rape, but you already know that. I am defending the fictional representation of gray-area sexual scenarios in opposition to sex-phobic puritan prudes such as yourself. And I don't agree that this is rape to begin with, so how would I be defending it? And...you DO understand that this is a fictional series, not found footage of actual events, right?
And no, I'm not "literally" (lol) under every comment. Not even close. :D
I am a guy and much older than you think. Things like this happens in real life and some people do NOT go to the police for many different reasons, and you have no right to dictate to people how they should respond emotionally or psychologically to any given situation. That is THEIR issue, not yours.
Human beings have fantasies they would never, ever want to happen in real life. It happens every day. Why do you think people love to read, watch, and listen to stories with very dark themes. Game of Thrones is gigantically successful world-wide and contains lots of rape, incest, adultery, murder and anything else you can think of. Do you believe crime rates jump every time an episode of that show is aired?
Calling people who find illegal things hard to watch "fandom puritans" is rude don't you think? If you watch this…
Well-said. I've been meaning to mention the subject of human sexual fantasies. MANY, maybe MOST people have sexual fantasies about scenarios they would never in a million years seek out or wish to experience IRL. Sexual content in entertainment media has for eons allowed us to vicariously have those experiences through the characters we follow in stories.
The sex-phobics on this chat board are likely watching this series on their laptops with their pants around their ankles.

Dumb as a stump. They are NOT brothers and there is no reason at all they shouldn't be together except for people like you who would try to make them feel weird about their relationship even though there is no basis for it. My 35 year-old son married his 31 year-old STEP-SISTER about nine years ago and they are doing great. It's not infrequent. Get over your hangups and enjoy life, censor-pants. People who have experienced SA and feel in danger of experiencing unpleasant reactions to strong sexual themes should stay miles away from BLs.

You're a fool. Do you freak out when illegal things like theft, robbery, murder, kidnapping, car-jacking, terrorism, embezzlement, etc, etc. are shown in movies/series? No, you don't because this is SEX and you have hangups about SEX. You're just a more recent version of the old-fashioned prude church-lady who couldn't stand that someone somewhere might be doing or listening to or watching something they don't approve of. lol Go Away.
Woww. Gosh dang. I was willing to give this one another chance. But nope, not after seeing first few minutes of…
The writer would do that because people think weird and untrue thoughts every minute of every day all around the world, and XS is an empathetic, caring soul who would naturally blame himself first in that situation. And thankfully the writer didn't have to check with you to see if he/she was allowed to write whatever the hell they wanted to.
Lovely Writer is bombing, by the way. But enjoy it!
Just finished 7-8. Wow. This series has become so complex and interesting, compared to what I saw early-on. At first I liked the slap-stick and fun use of camera angles but then it seemed to just get boring. A friend recommended I give it another try and I'm so glad I did. This looks to become one of my favorite BLs. A bit disappointed in the lazy tropes of guys being drunk or drugged to move the plot along, and would a VP really risk his entire career and potential jail time by drugging and attempting to rape one of the firm's co-owners?
I wish Mu Ren would gain some weight and I'm not thrilled with his fashion choices, but the show's design team does a great job of making him look exactly like a Yaoii drawing at times. There was a moment he was shot from the side at the foot of some stairs and for a second I thought the visual was a Yaoii illustration. Very cool.
I want to comment generally but first will wade into comments to see the general reaction.
