Ignoring that any kind of incest implication in regards to the Lawson story is probably not part of the writer's intentions,

the reaction to mentions of incest in media, be it games / books / other, is actually very interesting in general.

 

It's very similar to the weird artificial dichotomy in some people's mind when it comes to the depiction of violence Vs. sexual acts in video games (or other media).

 

I'll quote G.R.R. Martin on this:

 

"I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it's madness. Ultimately, in the history of [the] world, penises entering vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure. Axes entering skulls, well, not so much."

 

Now with incest, it seems that there is a similar attitude, even among the self proclaimed "open-minded" groups that support any other obscure sexuality type or desire, like incest is too much...

 

Personally, I'm not particularly intrigued by the idea of incest on its own merit, but it does tend to be a rather rare element that has the potential to wake you up startled in the middle of an otherwise yawn-worthy generic story that you have experienced before multiple times.

 

Axes entering skulls and porn aren't all that necessary to me, alike.

 

The acts themselves are very necessary... at least most of the time.

and then the topic turned toward incest. because of course it ****** did.

The problem is not the topic, the problem is the lack of will or ability to discuss it in a mature level-headed way.

[Malthier]

it's not the topic, tho. even if you start a levelheaded discussion, it'll still turn into a hissyfit and/or a lock before long.

I may be misrembering it but I thought it was Nagase and Davenport that had something (well, until the latter bit it)? Blaze was basically Gordon Freeman in a fighter plane like every AC protagonist up to Bishop. Okay, Blaze could at least answer yes/no questions, but still.

Nagase and Davenport? She, uh, was not Chopper's biggest fan. No, they hint at unrequited Nagase/Bartlett for a bit while also teasing Nagase/Blaze, and Nagase/Bartlett goes away for definite when Major Obertas shows up and is like WE'RE BACK TOGETHER GUYS FALSE ALARM.

Meanwhile, on the final mission, if you splash all of the Grabacr bandits quickly enough - with about two minutes left until the SOLG deorbits IIRC - the Razgriz pilots will all take the opportunity to talk about their feelings, or whatever. (It really is a pretty sunrise.) The more time you have left before the SOLG shows up, the more dialogue you'll get, and if you've got the full two minutes, Nagase will wrap it up with a very, ah, devoted couple of lines for Blaze. Then, obviously, she shows up in the ending slides with a kid.

It's not explicit, and there's not much give and take with the player, which is why I said almost right, but it's about as close as Ace Combat is likely to get to it.

Ew gross who would want that? A mean bossy romance that tells you what to do and be. No thanks

I like my weak skinny submissive kissass boys.

[Hair Serious Business]

Detective doesn't mean crap. He's just some character on the Normandy in ME1 and ME2

 

Being an advisor doesn't mean he out ranks Shepard.

 

It doesn't matter if any of your crew members is empress of entire galaxy...on Shepard's ship everyone is Shepard's b*tch

Kaiden was a meathead on steroids. I said skinny and weak. I want the deep artistic, introvert.

Interesting, I remember some of that but I haven't played through that game in nearly a decade probably. Do remember the feely convo you get before the SOLG, but not specifics except Archer talking about his birthday or something, and I can't recall the ending slides at all. Was probably too young and not good enough at English to much pick up subtle romantic subtext at the time anyway  (was middle school aged), so that could be it as well.

 

I miss the Strangereal AC games in general. That was a cool setting. Kind of want to replay them now........

And he's too into his science. Probably would be too busy experimenting on my lady parts instead of enjoying them.

I want him to be quiet skinny reserved but a real bad ass under the weak exterior.
