Romantic bonds can exist in found family situations. Teen Titans is a found family too, and yet Dick and Kory, Gar and Raven, Roy, Wally and Donna all dated at some point (Even Dick shared the same sentiment when he gave a little speech to Kory who's about to join the JLA).
Babs is like that goddaughter/very close family friend who gets invited in family events. She's part of the "family", but her position is ambiguous. She's more like an older sister to Steph, Jason and Damian, a friend to Tim, a mother to Cass and a very close friend slash lover to Dick. She sees Bruce as a godfather or a coach while Selina as her peer.
Barbara's situation is weird because she plays a differing dynamics with each member of the Batfam. And while she makes a great love interest to Dick, pairing her with other members is downright weird and in some cases, incestous.
**Barbara was never Bruce' surrogate daughter**. Anyone who had a proper reading (and comprehension) from PreCrisis to present run knows that. Barbara never saw Bruce as a parent figure, **was never implied nor explicitly stated**. Bruce saw her as a **family** but **not as a daughter**.
Barbara operated as Batgirl for a period of time before meeting, and later, partnering with Bruce and joining the Batfamily. Heck she even fought him over who gets to have Dick as a sidekick. It only got slightly changed in N52 and recent run since Babs got deaged but still the same concept.
**In short Batgirl was a bat chatacter who wasn't part of the batfam until she became one.**
People who propagandize DickBabs as incest are one of the following:
1. Diehard DK shipper with no proper knowledge about Barbara's standing in the Batfam other than regurgitated out of context rants made by people on Tumblr and Twitter.
2. Diehard DK shipper who knows and understands her dynamics with the Batfam but still chooses to spread misinformation by capitalizing on the kind of people I mentioned above.
3. Stans who do not understand how loose and dynamic the concept of family is.
4. Stans with double standards but doesn't know it.
5. Stans with double and are aware of it but are in a deep state of indenial.
6. Casual Titans fans who got pulled into comic reading by the movies and have no proper understanding of Dick and Barbara's relationship outside the lens of imbittered shippers.
