I'm heartily aware of that. Not really sure how this relates to what I said. I'm not for a Giles/Buffy relationship, for my own reasons. I was merely saying that Xander/Dawn is just as weird to me (moreso, because of the weird infantilization of Dawn that every character partakes in during season 5 and 6).

However, I also don't think it's right to "shut down" people's ships by claiming incest. It may be ooogly to us for various reasons, but they are not adopted families, or step families, and most importantly, they are not biological families (unless we are talking Joyce/Buffy here). Moreover, even if somebody did write incest fic, is it really that big of a deal? This isn't real life. There is a whole genre of Wincest fic out there, for example.
