    It’s about a brother and sister being happy to see each other at Christmas after he comes home from some volunteer thing overseas. For some reason, people have been shipping them as a brother/sister incest pairing. There’s legit porn fan fiction about this one commercial, it’s super weird

      Some days I forget I’m on the internet and then I read some shit like this. I woke up 20 minutes ago and that’s already enough internet for me today.

      “Some reason”

      The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.

        I only have same-sex siblings and thought it was weird, so when I saw the memes and stuff, I asked my friends with opposite-sex siblings what they thought. They said the same.

          It’s so weird. It plays more like they’re in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!

          Actually if you watch it with that in mind it’s weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.

          …now off to call my boyfriend “bro” and see what happens.

          E: I said, “I’m gonna take a nap, bro,” and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it’s not his thing!

      It’s the direction of the commercial. The editing, the long drawn out eye contact, the lack of family likeness. The director shot it like a romance.

      It’s because the commercial looked very “more than brother and sister” during the commercial. It was pretty abnormal behavior.

        I was fully prepared to think people were overreacting, but it really is bizarre. The cherry on the cake is the brother’s lip bite toward the end. He must already know his sister adores him, right? So WTF is he getting all bashful when she expresses that? I can easily imagine the excitement depicted here in myself when I see my distant siblings. I can also easily imagine knocking on my sister’s door, and then joking I must have the wrong house, but it didn’t seem like it was a joke for him - it seemed like genuine surprise that his sister is all grown up to the point he didn’t recognize her. Shit is weird. But fuck, the lip bite?! I know I’m not everybody, but I feel like a more normal response to a sibling expressing “you’re my present this year”, would be like, “awwwww” and a hug. It sure was fuck isn’t a lip bite.

        FUCKING. BIZARRE.
