i think having sex with a family member is wrong and bad- apparently a controversial opinion on the Something Awful forums now

However, if it became considered legal as a whole I am not so optimistic as to believe foolish/disgusting people would be beyond grooming younger siblings or even their own children to be future fuckbuddies. To prove they did would probably be quite difficult so as long as they're willing to wait until they hit majority before going public- huzzah!

see but your whole argument is predicated on the assumption that people don't do this poo poo for the sole reason that it is illegal, which I feel like isn't true. hosed up people that would do this usually don't care about legal consequences.

it's like the statistical data that shows the death penalty has no effect as a deterrent because murders are either done in the heat of the moment so you're not thinking of consequences, or they are either planned and no one plans to get caught.

It's not a controversial opinion - it's just that a lot of people don't think the state should have anything to say about two consenting adults loving in any circumstances. It's not an issue for the legal system unless there is psychological manipulation or rape involved, and those things are already illegal as their own crimes.

Close, I'm trying to say that banning incest between consenting adults because you think it's icky is like banning gay sex between consenting adults because you think it's icky.

You see, many people are capable of disapproving of or even hating an action while simultaneously recognizing a person's right to do that action.

I always assumed that all the gross fuckers watching incest porn were enjoying some sort of vaguely abstract fantasy taboo and not using it in lieu of their real desire to gently caress their own family members.

I guess there isn't much reason to believe that beyond it being less gross.

Remember when all those idiots said making homosexuality legal was a slippery slope and that soon people would be arguing to legalize actually awful things?

Its not really like that though because they are different things? Why recognize a person's nonexistent right to gently caress their daughter when I can correctly say that such a right doesn't exist and throw them into jail?

Because you can use that same line of reasoning to outlaw homosexuality, which is the point I'm trying to make.

"I don't like thing therefore thing should be banned" is generally not a persuasive argument.

Neither is 'if we don't legalize incest they might outlaw homosexuality'. It's the slippery slope in the wrong direction. The slippery upslope, as stupid as it sounds.

actually all criminal justice consists of moral judgments, there's no real logic behind the arrangement that if you steal and assault people you need to spend time in a room for a few years. it's actually a social contract and not something we came to do after a cold logical analysis of hard facts.

We already make arbitrary distinctions in our laws (age of consent for example) so why shouldn't incest be included? If you think incest is the same thing as gay sex then that is your hangup dude. Like, I get why you are making that comparison but how does it make you any different from someone wanting to keep gay marriage illegal to prevent creeping polygamy/incest/zoophilia? Gays don't have to be a slippery slope.

Don't bring actual logic into this thread. Some people just gotta get all their opinions about how incest should totally be legal, but how they personally never would think of such a thing, but while we're here can somebody help them hide their iphone in the bathroom so they can watch their sister take a poo poo.

Unsurprisingly it looks like a lot of the same people who were arguing in favor of cartoon childporn in that other thread. I wonder if there is some sort of common interest they all share that might tip us off to their weird creepy opinions before the fact.

Im just of the opinion that two consenting adults should be able to have sex with each other if they want to. Rape and pedophilia is already illegal so if we remove factors such as "does not consent" and "Is incapable of consent" then if two adult siblings want to bone it seems ridiculous to make a law specifically against that just because you or I think it's gross. “Criminal law is not the appropriate means to preserve a social taboo,” is a fantastic conclusion and we really should implement such a philosophy more often. Drug laws for example would be instantly repealed if we looked towards reducing harm rather than legislating morality.

Restrictions of freedoms should be based on tangible evidence that it causes more harm to society as a whole to have that freedom unrestricted. It directly hurts me if I get mugged or murdered, it doesn't hurt me if my neighbors are related and gently caress each other. If it doesn't hurt them either then what is the point of outlawing it?

Typically it's argued that it protects gay marriage on the same basis that it protects marriage between infertile couples. The ability to have children isn't essential to the ability to be a family.

And that results in the awful justice system the US has where it's basically a modern socailly acceptable way of oppressing minorities and other economic underclasses. Law should be based on reducing overall harm to society. You should find the most objective metric as possible for that (such as stuff that financially or physically hurts people), then make laws around reducing that harm. In cases like this where you can't present any sort of harm outside of laws that would already be covered (ie laws against sexual abuse), then there's really no reason to outlaw the fringe "two thirty year olds who didn't know they were related met and fell in love" case. If you can think of cases where no one involved is evenly remotely negatively affected by what's going on, but the law saws it's illegal, it's probably a bad law.
