Deleted without discussion: Kissing Cousins

The reason given was: "Deleted the Ben 10 example, since it's not canon. Incest Subtext and Incest Yay Shipping are better fitting."

What's to be done?

It doesn't illustrate the trope very well. In fact, it's a pretty classic Just A Face And A Caption, since without the caption to explain that 1) they're cousins and 2) that he's "checking out his cousin's breasts", it simply looks like a female lecturing a male and him avoiding her eyes.

So I'd say that it doesn't matter whether it's canon or not, it's a bad page image.

If the page image needs to get the relationship across, we'd probably need to whip up a family tree.

There's this◊ in the examples list...it'd need to be arranged vertically and would be a little off-balance because of that. Beyond that, I'd be fine with this one not having a pic.

Awkward...

EDIT: Nevermind, posted in the wrong thread.

Agree that the Ben 10 pic is bad, I suspect Hatedom activity. Or perverts. Whatever.

Superman: Vertical◊, One-panel◊

Either would be fine with me.

Would a family tree be preferable to text? Something like this◊, for instance? (Not proposing that particular example, just the concept).

The important thing, I think, is the interrelatedness, not who was who. So I played with it a little to highlight that.

I actually don't like the Charles II example because of all the uncle/niece marriages, which aren't this trope. I just thought a family tree would be the best way of visually demonstrating incest (not a noun phrase I thought I'd ever use), and that was the first example I could think of.

I like it, although to make it trope-specific we may want to just highlight the cousin marriages.

It would be easy enough to take out the purple lines and just leave the cousin marriages.

edited 11th Aug '11 10:55:45 AM by Madrugada

I like it.

Is there a more general trope the one with the purple lines would be good on?

It would work on Tangled Family Tree, but that has what I think is an excellent page image already.

Yeah, that one's even better.

Alternate caption: "Something may be wrong when you only have eight different people as your five-times-great grandparents on your mother's side."

x5 Looks good; is a little clunky, but it works.

Any objections to this?

Looks good to me.

Add a hottip saying that there should be 64 different people at the five-times-greatgrandparent level.

Done. Small text or regular-size?

Man, this should've been wrapped up a long time back. The family tree pic and caption are up and tagged; locking up.
