That's not the appeal of twins. It's the subtle differences.

Incest is no small part of it.

Twin fantasies have been low-key acceptable incest stuff since before incest became 'mainstream' as far as it goes.

Well all twins look the same to me.

Subtle: So delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyse or describe. / Delicately complex and understated.

Valette-Serafina: I hope you mean it's not the appeal of twins *to you*.

If you like redundancy, mushroom, your kink is clones, not twins.

I wasn't so much going after "redundancy" as "subtle differences".
Valette-Serafina
Valette-Serafina
If the differences aren't subtle, it's a sister fetish more than a twin kink.
magic9mushroom
magic9mushroom
And again you miss my point.

Twin kink can be about identicality, which is not the same thing as redundancy.

If it's about the similarities entirely, with no interest in the differences be they physical or otherwise, then it's clones, not twins.

What is your definition of "clone", here? Clones in the RL biology sense are a superset of monozygotic twins and the non-twin ones are by necessity non-identical (e.g. Haruka/Kurumi, Yuubiseiharukana/Yuubiseiakikana).

The conventional meaning, rather than the scientific.

I am not a party to such a convention. Please specify.
Valette-Serafina
Valette-Serafina
The meaning popularized by science fiction, in which a clone is an exact copy of the cloned, down to memories. This same meaning being the one used in translating Kage Bushin as Shadow Clone in Naruto, a fairly well-known anime and manga.

In that sense, yes, it is. However, twins are about as close as you can get to that ideal barring some form of magic or science-fictional technology (there are theorems in quantum physics that forbid exact copying even in theory, although greater resemblance than identical twins is of course physically possible).

We're talking about fiction, on Questionable Questing. Reality has no bearing on this, unless you want to interpret the first post in this chain as intolerably monstrous.

Did you perhaps miss the context, mushroom?
magic9mushroom
magic9mushroom
Fiction isn't necessarily the kind of science fiction or fantasy that has that capability.
