According to UnoriginaI, Archer in Blue is who made Afterglow Aegis; they just thought it was cool to put their Sparklecest kids in the same place since they were so coincidentally similar. I took the liberty of hunting down and putting up the Archer’s original image of Aegis: >>794391

Only by a factor of about %10-15 in most cases. Dangerous, but not really the recipe for disaster media makes it out to be… and that’s for parental/sibling incest. For anything else it’s barely even %4.
There’s a reason most cultures didn’t bat an eye at married cousins. So long as it was the first time around, that could actually be the safer option depending on the area and culture.

While it usually takes a few generations for inbreeding to become physically obvious, first generation inbreds are more prone to genetic disorders and resulting health complications.
Incidently, first generation inbreeding does not guarantee birth defects, as so many people seem to believe (although it does slightly increase chances). Most such defects appear after several generations of inbreeding.
Not saying you should go pork your sister, of course.
Look at Shining. He’s so nervous, he’s not even looking at the kids. It’s like Twilight is holding him against his will and he’s desperately looking for a means of escape.
This is 100% correct, yes.
You do, of course, know that the internet existed before 2000, right?
We’re talking single-digit increase in percentage, actually. With the first generation it’s pretty negligible.
but you might want to avoid having more then one so they don’t even get the chance.

No i’m pretty sure defects are common as soon as first generation. Where are you getting your information from?
And even if defects aren’t “common”. Why risk it?
Ponies have one toe webbed feet is impossible.

Aha so true! But wouldn’t you if you had little sibling babies running around… XD
Do not exaggerate!!!
