"group" could be replaced with society, country, region, city, community, family, etc and this statement still holds true.
some factors as to whether or not a group deems something to be acceptable includes:
1.) the foundational values of the group at its conception (spiritually, morally, etc)
2.) whether or not consensus has shifted since foundation
3.) is the act necessary or justified to meet an end goal
4.) can cohesion be maintained while permitting the act at various capacities
What if the group is in the wrong? Homosexuality has been shunned by a majority for centuries, is this justified just because they formed a majority?

Are you getting at objective morality?

Like, 100 years ago being engaged with your cousin were absolutely normal.
In terms of genetics and breeding this is wrong because of degeneration.
I see a problem with protected sex realtions between family. Imagine, you are same age siblings having fun and stuff, but you know you wont be able to be a couple because of genetic thing, this can cause a trouble with finding an actual parter. like if you both love each other in that way, you'll both will struggle with creating a family since you're in love with other person. And there is also a problem of jelaousy
People can adopt if they want to form a family. Are you referring to a kind of jealousy that is unique to a situation like this? Please explain. I think most relationships have some form of jealousy in them.

Do you have a logically sound reason to be so vehemently against incest?

Literally no one in the history of the universe has claimed this to be true.

A lot of things could make your peers hate you. Like telling them your politcal affiliation. I don't think political affiliation is immoral.

What does this even mean? Are you trying to find out what Moop's stance is? If so, he used the word 'disgusting' in his first post, making it pretty clear what his stance is.
