Incesty Pairings
So, I come bearing pollage.
I've seen a lot of conversations about fanfic recently, in which people have discussed different pairings and said "That pairing squicks me out. It's... almost incestuous."
And I was wondering which pairings are most likely to strike people that way.
So, under the cut is a poll, full of pairings!
Rate each pairing from 1 (not incestuous in the slightest) to 10 (really really incestuous and squicky).

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.

I find Xander/Dawn hugely squicky - I think I gave it a 9, and its recent appearance in canon is one of the things that has made me start questioning Joss's sanity - but not quite as squicky as Buffy/Giles, which to me is the squicky-est possible relationship in the 'verse not involving blood relations because Giles is definitely a parental figure and he's even boinked her mother.
