Grandfather & grandaughter? 
They’re related by blood. 
- Step-siblings aren’t.
Sorry, but what you wrote made me cringe…

While yes, we can be diverse, but even a ‘chill’ and laid back person must have boundaries and morals. We are being respectful, well, most of us are. And we are saying that it’s wrong. In a legal sense, like I said, it is. I don’t mind if other people like it, because I personally know someone online who admits to liking sibling relationships. I don’t agree with that, but I don’t argue with them, why? Because it causes unnecessary division and problems. I do say something from time to time, but I generally don’t talk to them about it.

In a legal sense, step siblings are. Look at the law.

You do realize that not all countries have the same laws, don’t you? In the USA, it is not illegal for step siblings to date/marry.

Law?
- The gov. is what causes so many problems, yet you think it favors and supports what you just said…
My cringe didn’t favor your comment, but it was because it in no way favored your opinion
But please, consider this. I’m taking a step back from my opinions, and I would like you to step away from yours too. Let us look at the problem/situation as a whole.
Step-Siblings are adopted into a family. They are not related by blood, and while there is no strict law stating that they cannot marry, anyone who is related or brought into the family is considered ‘full blood’ by law. So we got that out of the way? Alright then, now let’s bring up the emotional love side of this. While, like I said, they aren’t related in a blood sense, they are still family. But if we look past that, we can look at the emotions of the parents and all those around them. I would say it’s more so principles than law. The law says that family cannot marry/have any romantic/sexual relationships with each other, step children/siblings are considered family.
I guess it does come down to principles and the morals of people in a whole.
Cheers,

Please stop bringing up laws. Your country and my country have totally different laws. Step siblings are not adopted into families. Adopted kids are adopted. Step siblings are just 2 people whose parents are/were married.

I am not acting immature. I’ve only stated facts and not my own emotions. I don’t like to use them when in a debate. And I’m sorry if I came off that way.
I seriously don’t want to fight either : )
Cheers,
R.
Thanks

Well, technically, they are. And yes, it does concern the law when it comes to these matters. If you feel disgusted or revolted or at least slightly uncomfortable by full blood siblings, then why are you alright with step children being in love? Imagine if you and your sibling were step siblings, would you, be honest here, look them directly in the eye and say ‘I want to make out with you’ and then proceed to kiss and make out with them? Well, most people would say no. Because they can’t. Like I said to @Estefi I don’t want to start fights, just stating facts. : )
Cheers,

But we can agree with the fact that this thread should be stopped, not the stories. It’s obviously causing arguments like these when it shouldn’t be.

@gabriella Bad idea, you should know by now that we all have different opinions on Episode. So, then why did you possibly think of making this thread when you should’ve known the cons that would come with it.
I personally don’t think the thread should be stopped, it’s an interesting topic to debate about. I think what we should do instead is handle these stories maturely, and write them maturely, if we do intend on writing/reading them. Everyone has their own opinions and thoughts, some are more laid back and chill with it, some just can’t handle the thought. And it’s fine. It’s like talking about LGBT, some people are all for it, some aren’t, and it’s fine. “There’s nothing wrong with saying no.” To quote from a very reasonable and cool person.

@Res ~ I understand where you’re coming from, but there’s already a solution to the problem. You can exit out of the story. 
- It’s also disrespectful to some authors that write these stories. This thread is literally targeted to them, which in my opinion is very disrespectful.
- The author is only expressing their creative (cuz every non-cliche has a unique idea) ideas, so then why bash at them for writing what they want to?
The thread created wants an author to stop writing those ideas. Does one find that very open-minded?
How is debating on something that will possibly make things controversial … interesting…?
I’m not disrespecting authors, I am one myself, and I personally do believe that they should do whatever they want, within certain limitations. That’s all I really want to say on the topic, people can debate with me if they want to, but my opinion is this:
Relationships between any member of a family, blood or not, is wrong and against the law. But, if you and your culture accept these practices, than I’ll ignore it. I can understand if it’s a cultural difference, but if your law states that it is not allowed, than you don’t do it, and the second you try to make a loophole, you know it’s wrong and are just making excuses as to why it can be right.
Like I said, that’s my opinion, if anyone wants to step forward and debate responsibly, then I’m all for it. But if you are going to be immature and bring emotions into a legal problem, than chances are I’m going to ignore you. Sorry but that’s the way it is.
Everyone have a good day!
I enjoyed debating!
Cheers,
R.
@Sasha.Skyla ~ Are you ever going to reply? I have a feeling you’re too shy to express your opinion, but don’t worry, you shall not be judged!

Please don’t bring my country’s history into this, this is not what we’re talking about. I feel personally offended as an Australian, if I were anyone else, I promise you, if you talked to another Australian like that, you’d be having problems. And like I said, the way the law works, is that when you marry someone with a child, you not only join your partner in marriage as a ‘family’ but you also adopt the child your partner has, in some countries automatically and some you have to manually fill out paper work to do it. Either way, it’s legal issues.

Well, like I said, it does involve legal issues. Right now, tell me a law that says ‘step children can be together’.
Cheers,
R.
