At Resident Evil – Code: Veronica:

  • Incest Subtext: There's loads of hinted sexual tension between the Ashford siblings.
  • Twincest: Implied between Alfred and Alexia.

Generally we go by what is visible in the work. If Word of God says it's intentional, then I suppose both entries could acknowledge that, but it wouldn't surprise me if Incest Subtext can be removed.

Note that, like the large part of the page (also bad), these two are Zero-Context Example and shouldn't stay as-is in any case.

Yeah I plan to improve the trope entries on the main Code Veronica page to be more specific like I did for the Character pages, but I wasn't sure on their entry on the Incest Subtext page itself. As you say, I can write an entry explaining the in-game depiction/implications, with the addendum to Word of God confirmation as an external link.

Incest Subtext/Twincest seem redundant with each other, so like you suggested, I can remove Incest Subtext as a separate trope on the Code Veronica page and consolidate the examples.
