Guys, don't flame me for this, but...seriously, brotherly love I get, but incest? No. All the volumes of FMA x 9000, NO!
Apologies to elricest fans. I do not mean to offend, merely to state my opinion on this ship.
It's just...c'mon, brothers can't have platonic relationships anymore? They have a sweet moment, and then the hardcore elricest fans go crazy, and fanart and fanfiction of hardcore yaoi churns out in droves. What's up with that?! I mean, I've heard of yaoi featuring Ed and Al as kids and doing unmentionable stuff to each other...if that's not plain sick, I don't know what is anymore. That, to me, is porn manga style. I don't care if it's a cartoon with fictional characters, it's still featuring little kids doing adult and sexual things I don't even want to imagine!
And even when they are shown as teens, it's just...it seems extreme and forced. It seems to be brotherly love blown up into extreme proportions of sexual love, and area that was never even implied in the original series. So what if they are extremely close? Siblings are extremely close, but no one jumps on the bandwagon of crying 'OMG they're totally in love--and by that I mean LOVERS!'. Why do it with Ed and Al, or any other same-sex siblings for that matter? Oh, but they've been together since childhood. ...Yeah? They were orphans. So what? Why does that immediately equal sexual love? It's just...ew.
Oh, but they're both hot!...SO?? It seems to me that those hardcore shippers of elricest that swoon over hardcore fanart/fics of Ed and Al doing everything imaginable in all sorts of forms (Al in armour in some cases...WTF??) and ages, are trying to fulfill the erotic fantasy of two very close same-sex siblings engaging in sexual exploits for the sake of it, and not to mention yaoi; destroying the adorable platonic care and brotherly love akin to them into something disproportionate and frankly sick.
PLATONIC LOVE FTW!! PLEASE!!
