I'm playing some more Valkyria Chronicles 2, and man is this game just a tour de force of every bad anime trope you could ever think of. This time it's that old chestnut, romantic brother-sister incest!
Two of your class/squadmates are brother and sister, with a timid shy younger brother and a strict, unhealthily protective older sister. As you progress in the younger brother's personal storyline, you discover that he wants to become a strong man to protect and impress "the woman he loves," prompting an immediate groan from me. Then I thought I should wait. Maybe I just had my mind in the gutter and that wasn't what they were going for-

Nah. Upon finishing his personal mission it turns out that was precisely what they were going for. Don't worry though, they're not related by blood so it's okay!!!!

That just makes it even more creepy, but it gets worse

Only the brother knows they're adopted siblings and he still intends to pursue her romantically anyway
Also get the fuck out of here with that real/not real siblings shit, these two were clearly brought up as siblings from childhood. The cherry on top is that finishing the sister's personal mission confirms she just sees him as a little brother.
Somehow the worst part is the himbo protagonist just giving the guy a thumbs up after hearing this extremely weird and fucked up confession and going gee, that's not something you hear everyday but I hope you it works out for you bro!
instead of calling him a weirdo
Why why why
do Japanese writers keep returning to this same incest trope over and over again. You're telling me you can't have a single gay relationship in this game but you had to have a sister fucker with just enough convoluted asterisks to make it technically okay (still not okay)
