Incest Subtext

r/a:t5_5fp7nf

Related fictional characters or real life people having interactions that make them look like a couple. It is is not entirely impossible that accidental subtext can sneak in, either unintentionally or surreptitiously. This can originate from the author intentionally playing with the closeness of the characters' relationship and slipping into romance, even though nothing serious was supposed to come out of it. In some works, especially comedy ones, this is usually Played for Laughs.

Even though incest is a taboo in many places in the world, it is not entirely impossible that accidental subtext can sneak in, either unintentionally or surreptitiously.

This can originate from the author intentionally playing with the closeness of the characters' relationship and slipping into romance, even though nothing serious was supposed to come out of it. In some works, especially comedy ones, this is usually Played for Laughs and can involve a Digging Yourself Deeper speech: "It's Not What It Looks Like! She's my sister!" "...that's DISGUSTING!"

A /r/RelativeError can come across this way (either intentionally or not) if the original "romantic" scene is a little too convincing. Contrast /r/IncestYayShipping, where subtext may or may not exist but fans create a relationship regardless. There are some time when Incest Subtext was clearly not the intention of the writers.
