tmnt fans: grr leorai is incest grr why is it basically canon grr why would the official tmnt youtube channel post ship videos for them if it's incest grr that's weird

me, not thinking it's meant to be incest just clumsily handled, falling into some common tropes (in 2k3 yoshi and tang shen are adoptive siblings and get together, which looking back IS kinda uncomfortable) and it's a situation that would not ever happen in real life anyway:

#leorai #tldr they don't share dna. they weren't raised together #they were never brought up in a family environment #they call the same guy dad but for different reasons #and those reasons start AFTER they've known each other/started having feelings etc #mikey seeing her as a sister is valid but some of the turtles see april as a sister #again if you still think leorai is weird/has weird implications that's valid #or if you disagree with me that's fine! but yeah #also b4 anyone says anything. splinter is 100% turtles' dad. adoption is just as real and valid #but i think the turtles and karai see splinter as 'dad' in different ways where they don't see each other as siblings necessarily #if they knew she was splinter's daughter when they met or grew up together #that'd be different lmao
