*sigh* understand where you come from but don't compare one thing with another-

the argument of tcest being "not wrong" because of them not being related is absolute bullshit and invalidates any non-blood sibling/family relationships — also, think about the fact people manipulate the way siblings actually act towards each other in a romantic way (whether the turtles are or not blood related, they consider each other brothers and act like it, the fact tcesters try to use scenes that are platonic to assure their points just shows how fetishized they have brother/sisterly affection)

also my rise boys are all related because of Yoshi's DNA being implemented so using them as an example just because they aren't the same species is also wrong. (Also, most tcesters make lewd content while the turtles being minors: Rise Mikey is 13, Rise Leo/Donnie are 14, 2012 Cast and Rise Raph are 15 and 2003 Cast are 16)

in addition karai is splinter's biological daughter and while leo isn't, he was raised like one and is also the closest to him.

also, consider that the turtles don't act like animals at all but have human-like ways of acting and processing their thoughts with almost none instict-like oriented actions so, in any case, Apritello works/worked more on the romantic side as they share similar thoughts and can connect through that. you cannot compare falling in love with a normal dog than with dogpound lmao.

I’m genuinely amused by all of the tcest hate on this site. Just about every turtles post I see has an anti-tcest tag in it somewhere regardless of what the post even is. Like, it could be a bad ass picture of my boi Leonardo and there will be a tag telling tcest shippers to fuck off and die in a hole. I personally am not a tcest shipper, hell, I’m really not much of a shipper at all. My only two ships are Naruto and Sasuke mostly for the meme and Ukyo and Ryoga from Ranma ½.

Anyway, this hate for tcest just seems so out of control and the irony of the whole thing is hilarious. People don’t like it cause the turtles are “brothers” and that means you can’t ship them cause it’s a sin or some shit. Look, the turtles are basically just step brothers. No version of them is or has ever been blood related.

Now granted nothing has ever outright stated their relation one way or another, Donatello’s line to Michaelngelo in the 07 movie of “ Yeah that would make her your mom to doofus.” doesn’t count. Rise, as awful as that version is, takes all this a step further by making them all different species of turtles. Yes you could argue that they still grew up together as brothers, but like I said they’re basically step brothers. THEY’RE NOT RELATED! There’s a similar hate, although not as strong, for 2012 Leo and Karai.

I’ve seen people bash 2012 Leorai shippers cause of the pseudo incest. Honestly this one has less of a reason to get hate than tcest cause she didn’t even grow up with them. We don’t even find out that she’s SPOILERS Splinter/Hamato Yoshi’s daughter till well after we meet her and by then Leo and her have already been flirting. What are they supposed to just knock that shit off since they’re “related”? Fuck off they’re not even the same species!

Which brings me to my last point, BESTIALITY! It’s just okay? Accepted? I’ve never seen it come up as an argument or at all really. People have shipped Leo and Karai for the longest time, it gained a lot of steam thanks to the 03 series and not once has Leo being a GIANT MUTATED TURTLE been a problem.

But you throw in some vague, distant relationship to Splinter and now it’s bad? Get the hell outta here. Leo being a turtle, not human in anyway like Karai, isn’t an issue but being her step brother is a big no-no. No one brings up the bestiality aspect with Apriltello either. Every complaint I’ve seen thrown at them talks about how April is a bitch sometimes and that Donnie is a creep.

The complaints with Apriltello point out how the show lessens them as characters. Not how one is human and the other is a GIANT MUTATED TURTLE! Seriously, no one ever brings up the inter-species romance as a problem but the “incest” is gross. What and turtle on human isn’t? I just don’t understand how that’s okay but the other isn’t.

Look, I want to make it clear that it’s fine to not like tcest or 2012 Leorai. It’s fine to not like any ship. I need you to understand that I’m not trying to force you to like a ship that you’re not a fan of. There’s just so much unnecessary hate for those ships that are more toxic than the actual ship themselves. Even as someone that doesn’t partake in those ships just seeing all the hate for them was so out of control I couldn’t not say something.

I know that a majority of you are going to come at this hate, I almost look forward to it. I’m aware that this is absolutely going to get me blocked and that’s fine. Most of you that spew all of that hate aren’t worth interacting with anyway, so no real loss.
