Going with the paratext around AO3's logos and categories, I'd understand that they seem to believe that slash = m/m action, regardless of original proclivities. I'd be lying to say it hasn't been my understanding of the category as well. Just my two cents on that matter.
Re: incest, I'm not sure what you're asking? Most people I've spoken two are more concerned about power dynamics in incestuous pairings than about the incest itself. Then gain, I'm in ASOIAF where twincest, femslash and slash are all canon. I'd say consensual cousincest or sibcest is probably not going to get as much heat as parent/child incest, for, well... obvious reasons. (It would personally squick me out big time, but that's not here nor there.)
Just my 0.02$, feel free to prod at - sometimes it's good to articulate things etc.
Late to the party!
