I removed this example:

  • Maybe it's only me that watches Word Girl (it's the only funny show on PBS, which is one of the only channels I get... so yeah...), but how can this not have gotten a mention yet? TJ, Becky Botsford's younger brother, has a massive crush on Word Girl.
    • In no way are you alone, fellow troper. I must say, the incest is averted slightly, due mainly to the fact that Becky's adopted, and also TJ has a crush on Word Girl, not Becky. (In fact, he has such a rivalry with his sister he rebuffs all of Becky's minor "slip-ups", stating there's no way she can be Word Girl because Word Girl is too cool. Even to the point of disliking Word Girl when he briefly found out she's his sister in "Two-Brains Forget".) However, there's definitely something there. It would certainly be an interesting shipping, if only the fans didn't solely support Word Girl and Tobey.
    • Now that I think about it, there was that whole thing in "Pretty Princess Premiere". TJ did imply he thought Word Girl was stunningly beautiful.

It reads like a diary and then a forum, which is easily fixed, but it's also confusing. I've never seen Word Girl, so I don't know how to fix it. I assume that Becky and Word Girl are one character because of the second bullet, but no context is supplied. If that's the case, it sounds less like incest and more a Squicky case of Loves My Alter Ego.

But yeah. Can someone who's seen the show rewrite this?

I recommend substituting Todd "Scoops" Ming's parents and Violet Heaslip's parents.

See the first 2 images in the gallery here http://wordgirl.wikia.com/wiki/TOEB

Would also qualify for "Complicated Family Tree" due to the inbreeding.

Even if Becky and TJ did hook up, they're not biological siblings (she's an adopted alien, he's the baby her adoptive parents had later) and yeah, he's more into her alter ego than to her. In one episode TJ actually finds out Becky is Wordgirl (he gets mind-wiped at the end) and is disgusted about it.

On the Lilo and Stich example don't the experiments refer to each other as cousins, rather than siblings? The example still holds if so but for Kissing Cousins, not this.
