Wow, this is a great post. I can agree with everything you said and I'm equally sick and fascinated by this discussion. The assumption that wincesters secretly want to have incestuous sex is ridiculous. So is the argument that wincest is wrong-period.
I don' get the fuss about it. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's not that wincest is the new Shakespeare and is required to be read during millions of English classes. No, it's actually easy to avoid if you just keep your eyes open before you click a link.
I've seen slashers in the past (my old fandom before SPN) that just picked two people to slash them for the sake of it. Bad!fic was the result. But you know, maybe you one needs to read a bit and hit the back button a few times until you find the good stuff that slashes people because they work and not because they look pretty together.
Summing it up, I think you said it pretty well with the words "All in all, this is for fun." Because that's what it is and insulting people just because you have no valid arguments is weak. Thanks for the wonderful post.

Though it'd be nice! XD Yes, they can easily avert their eyes - awhile ago, the genners argument is that Wincest was flooding into gen comms like supernaturalfic or sn_fic and saying that it shouldn't be allowed on there. We clearly mark our stories as Wincest (cause, yes, we aware people out there don't like it and we don't wanna shove it down your throats) and if you took the time to read the warnings, then you'd know that you shouldn't click on those links.

That's what people think we're doing! Like, it wouldn't be so popular if they DIDN'T work. It just happens they are unbelievably gorgeous and have great chemistry.

I hate that. Then people pair it with bad grammar and then I want to throttle them.
