It’s biologically ingrained into us to avoid incest. Revulsion for the act is built directly into our brains due to the severity of the act. I can’t even joke about incest without a pit forming in my belly and my shoulders slumping. Anon was the more neurotypical of the two.

Not even a little bit. That is only present cultural norms and is entirely arbitrary. Incest is historically common and even considered preferential and a right in the past.

  Take it up with three separate professors at my uni and several scholarly sources. Though I warn you, they are either dead or capable of screaming far louder and more eloquently than you. Here’s a Wikipedia article

    That article doesn’t support your argument. The effect isn’t based on relation but on being raised together before the age of 6.

    Well yeah, but that is still “biologically ingrained to avoid incest”, since being raised separately and then reintroduced as adults is an edge case. The effect is biological even if what it’s directly testing for isn’t genetics.

    The aversion often didn’t work for royalty, since they weren’t raised with their siblings.

Tell me you’ve never been on PornHub without telling me you’ve never been on PornHub.

  No, that’s step-siblings. Doesn’t count.
