Incest and pedophilia are commonplace, but are usually assumed to be isolated, personal behaviors, and are usually assumed to be fueled by personal perversions and deviance. In contrast, the internet personas presented incest and pedophilia as accepted cultural behaviors and as learned behaviors.
Incest is one of the "universal" taboos. But, the definition of what constitutes incest differs from subculture to subculture, demonstrating that there is apparently no genetic or natural incest aversion. In some societies the incest taboo is imposed on only the daughters, only the sons, to the fathers but not the uncles, to the fathers but not the mothers, to the father's blood line, to the mother's bloodline, to blood relatives but not marital relatives, or some other combination and permutation. The incest/pedophile subculture simply ignores all incest taboos.
Incest taboos are assumed to be developed to insure the reproductive health of the society and to insure that reproductive relationships are available as a means of bonding families together within an inclusionary area (e.g. village, tribe). In the incest/pedophile subculture, incest is largely limited to the ages when the daughters also represent a pedophile interest to their fathers, approximately age four through age twelve. The incest/pedophile subculture eventually life-bonds its daughters outside their family of origin and mandates a period of reproduction for the daughters after their life-bonding, thus insuring reproductive health for the subculture. Children born of incest often appear to be treated as sex slaves to be sold outside the family of origin and eventually removed from the gene pool. Therefore, incest does not pose a reproductive problem for the subculture.
Family relations, sexual relations, and interpersonal relations are all learned behaviors in traditional society. The incest/pedophile subculture employs all the enculturation tools used by traditional society in socializing its children, plus the subculture adds a substantial dose of negative reinforcement, fear, and brute force. They also maintain a degree of separation and isolation from mainstream society. The incest/pedophile subculture is no more non-traditional in its socialization methods and isolation than other successful subcultures, including the Amish, Mormons practicing bigamy, and religious or lifestyle cults in general.
The incest/pedophile subculture, as described, provides all the social structures and meets all the social functions necessary for maintaining a viable and tightly integrated subculture. It has structures, roles and norms for pattern maintenance, goal attainment, decision-making, recruitment, internal and external integration, and any other function a sociologist or anthropologist may wish to consider.
