That's what I told Dellaluvia! :laugh:
I said nobody would make that movie. Not Jake and Maggie, not the director, not the producers. Nobody would finance it. It's not just something people aren't interested in, it's something that actively grosses them out.
But Dellaluvia isn't one to back down from a disagreement! She insisted there's a big thriving community of consensual incestuous siblings who would flock to it.
I've never heard of such a thing. Although I'll admit, in recent years I've come to recognize there are all kinds of people out there I normally don't hear about, so ...
I would google sibling porn or something to see if there's any out there but I don't want to besmirch my computer. Of course, if there are people out there doing that, I don't care. It's none of my business. They're 19, they can do what they want. Except make a movie with A-list siblings playing lovers.

I can remember seeing one of the Brady Bunch movies, and they did a thing where Greg and Marcia were suddenly becoming attracted to each other.
There were certain scenes that they did, and I remember the audience going "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww", and they weren't really brother and sister.

That does strike me a gross! I think there's a visceral reaction against incestuous relationships between step-siblings if you've seen them grow up together as essentially siblings.
I do know someone IRL who married her step-brother. But their parents married each other when they were in their 50s or 60s and the kids were adults by then. So that didn't seem gross.
And when step-siblings Gwyneth Paltrow and Luke Wilson get together on The Royal Tenenbaums, it's not particularly gross, mainly because again we didn't see them growing up together. Plus everybody in the family is weird and quirky.
Also, it led to one of my favorite lines of all time. Luke Wilson confesses the relationship to his dad, Gene Hackman, and asks if he thinks it's wrong.
Gene Hackman thinks for a bit. "Well, it is frowned upon ..." Pause. "But what isn't these days?" he says merrily.

Speaking of the Brady Bunch, not long ago I read a piece on Slate arguing that Carol and Mike Brady, who as you recall were both widowed, murdered their former spouses.
The writer presented "evidence" from the show. The piece was tongue in cheek, but one piece of evidence was pretty compelling: Nobody in the show ever mentions the dead spouses. Not the parents, and weirder still, not the kids.
Some if not all, of the kids are easily old enough to remember their late father or mother, so inevitably IRL they would refer to them now and then.
I guess that's not really evidence of murder, unless the kids were all in on the crime, but still, it's weird.
