Just a quick question....why does NejiHina bring up so many 'ewww, incest' comments?

I think I have seen more noise over Hyugacest than Uchihacest, but never seen any real concrete support against the pairing.

The Hyuga did not get those pretty white eyes by diversifying their genetic portfolio. They are willing to bind and blind those out of the direct line of descent, but not indulge in generations of accepted selective breeding?

Add in the fact that Hiashi gets to keep the line of succession intact, get a strong heir, and appease his guilt over his brother's death, the prospectives of an arranged match between Hinata and Neji look good.

Given the Hyugas must be a bitch to marry into and even more so for the heir apparent and the absolute lack of any Japanese cultural taboo against first cousin marriage, why does HinaNeji bring out such a strong reaction?

I can't think of any logical reason other than an offended and overblown sense of ethnocentricity.
