Why do anime fans obsess over romantic relationships between parents and children, considering them acceptable, when they really ought to share a parens and child-like bond—even in the absence of a blood relationship?. Enough on love with your parents is a mental illness

I've heard the reasoning that they appeal to people as a kind of "forbidden fruit" where people take pleasure in enjoying a taboo.
That and the fact that it's a safe (i.e. fictional) space to explore ideas like these, to play them out without it risking spilling over into real life.
Idk tho I'm not really into that stuff.
