You're right. Being in the Wincest faction so deep, there did seem to be some animosity. I never felt that (and still don't). My only issue is when people start lashing out at pairings. It's kind of annoying to be called morally wrong or disgusting because of it. I always wanted to retort to the various slashers who did that, that, well, there were a lot of het people who no doubt thought THEY were morally wrong. I guess that's just one of those wank things in SPN fandom. It does seem you're either a Wincester or you're not. I tend to blur those lines. Sure, Wincest was my favorite, but I never said anyone shouldn't read something else or hold their own opinion. As stated above, I tried just about every pairing out there for the fandom. I came away from all that knowing I didn't like the daddycest. I just...there's just something about growing up with a parent and knowing they are and then doing that...*shudders* Not my thing. But I by no means judge anyone who does. It's what they like. I'll just pass on reading it. That's my biggest problem. I think everyone should get along. I get somewhat annoyed when I'm reading comments on a story that include "I hate wincest!" or "wincest totally squicks me but I love this pairing" and some far more offensive. Because really? Why must you clarify that when you're complimenting a person's fic? And I get that way when other people harsh on other pairings like Sam/Ruby or a fic with Bela or Dean/Jo. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? lol I'm just too easy to please, I guess. If the fic's good, it's good. The end. I like breaking the mold a bit.
As for understanding, if you look a comment up or two, I give the basic outline for why Wincest intrigued any of us. Obviously, you probably still won't agree, which is ok. But it's a little less wankish, a little more clear than you might find somewhere else.
I think you're a gen person in (heh) general, though, aren't you? I remember when I first got into SGA you gave me gen recs because I insisted I had no pairing (yeah, that last long, NOT, lol).
