the sanitization of caleb’s trope

caleb’s trope is pseudo incest, why can’t some of you accept it? every time you mention that his trope is pseudo incest you have caleb fans swarming you saying it not, acting as if you don’t understand the whole gege/oppa terminology. but most do at this point, and the main people who play lads usually do consume asian media already. why are they so in denial about it? it was already confirmed that josephine adopted them and raised them. if they really didn’t see their relationship as taboo why does mc keep rejecting him and reminding him they were raised together? why do you think she says she wishes they had met as strangers? for fucks sake caleb’s symbol is literally an apple!!! forbidden fruit and temptation is what he’s all about! viper calls him a siscon!!! she quite literally says something along the lines of “step brother no! 😞”at this point it’s just copium and it’s getting really hard to watch.

i don’t think caleb fans should be hated on but i think straight up denying what it is makes it worse. also it’s just more interesting when you take the story the way the writers intended it to be. we can’t be together because we were “childhood friends” doesn’t make sense. at the end of the day it’s FICTION. infold is at blame here too for being cowards about it when it comes to the eng localization which causes so much confusion.
