There are still people bending over backwards trying to claim that Zagreus, Thanatos, Hypnos and Charon aren't siblings to justify their shitty ships so here's in-game facts that are easily proven through dialog:
-Nyx is Zagreus's adopted mother. Even if the Hades writers are bad at family relationships and (unfortunatley) prioritize blood relatives, Zag spent most of his life believing her his mother. Even after learning about Persephone, he still acknowledges her as his life-long caretaker.
-Thanatos, Hypnos and Charon are Nyx's blood children. They are stated as such repeatedly throughout the game.
-They also believe that Nyx is Zag's blood mother for most of the game.
-Zag only recently discovered that he had a different birth mother, as a young adult.
-If we are to assume Thanatos and Zagreus are childhood friends, then they spent most of their life believing the same woman was their shared mother.
In short, yes shipping them is incest. Yes, I am aware that there is a romance option with Thanatos and Zagreus. Yes, the writers are in the wrong. I don't know about you, but I don't suddenly become attracted to a guy I considered my brother for most of my life. And nobody was holding a gun to their head when they decided to make that an option.
