which would be a valid observation if in one year nearly 60 movies were not centered on this theme or this theme was not used as a driving plot devise. Again this was 2009 to 2010 the number of movies here is a list of 200+ pages of incest in TV and movies... You can't tell me that all of this incest being crept into homes and theaters is not desensitizing the general population. This is how Homosexuality became mainstream and accepted. why should we think this is not the next step into perversion 'good people' are willing to take?
This is not the same. Incest is used as a plot device, because it is fascinating in the same way murder is, which we see a lot of in movies. Probably some of your favorites. Homosexuality is almost always shown in the light of the struggle or the beauty. A Single Man springs to mind.
In fact, violence and murder is glorified in some cases, which does receive it's fair share of backlash. I never see incest glorifed.
Then again, I haven't seen every Lars Von Trier movie.
