Sorry, I mixed my words up, "incestuous abuse" still carries heavy sexual connotations and in this case "Emotional Incest" I cannot begin to even fathom what you mean.

All of these supposed dynamics imply a degree of desire from Dirk towards Rose, which is an insane thing to presume or put in prose given the original comic makes it VERY clear he's gay. (Note, I'm not saying it would make it more accurate or better if Dirk was doing this to Dave, it's still fucking gross to put into writing for a character who before was "messy" but not an outright homophobic depiction.)

We have multiple moments of a gay man getting abused over his sexuality, with basically 0 moments addressing how fucked up it is beyond one discussion with Jane, where Dirk still lays the blame at his OWN FEET. The story doesn't take it any more serious than that and I think that's careless and homophobic.
