"Incest" tag in shipgirl settings

It's lately come to my attention that the incest tag has been allowed for "sister ships" in Azur Lane which brings up an important question we need to be having now: should we start re-allowing the incest tag for "sister ships" in Kantai Collection? The similarities between the settings makes it seem somewhat disingenuous to allow tagging incest in one but not the other...

I guess that would mean that 1stCarDiv yuri would be considered incest in Azur Lane but not in Kantai Collection?

But they aren't from the same class.. Even though there is a quote where Kaga calls Akagi a sister x_x

Didn't Akagi say something about the elder sister deeply caring about the younger sister in the anime?

...while constantly groping Kaga?

Honorifics are not always indicative of familial relationship in Japanese. Atago refers to herself as “onee-san” when addressing the Commander, that doesn’t make him railing her incest.

Akagi and Kaga give off more sisterly affection vibes than actual affection between sisters, but if the game itself throws around the words and dynamic (Montpelier and Cleveland) willy-nilly anyways it’s a moot point.

If something is true in azure lane it doesn't necessarily follow that it's also true in kancolle.
Despite having the same name, at the end of the day they're different characters from different copyrights, whose only thing in common is the real life object they're based on, and what we're tagging under incest is the characters themselves, not the original ships.
