^ Not sure, but if we were to get an answer, I think sister-brother incest with an actual offspring would get more official denial (meaning refusing to reveal/adopt such plot twist) than same-sex pairing in other ways than friendship. But, I'm almost sure neither will be even considered, as much lessons of tolerance as both would give to the target audience. --- What if the word AB being Aj's offspring haven't gotten out or haven't gotten much support among Apples ? Between Aj's teenage days and present day Granny's gotten remarkably more senile which could had enabled her to doubt Aj's word back then, although she was senile already. But I got into thinking, how AB wouldn't doubt it much who is said to be her mom, even small human kids that aren't someone's offspring doubt the given word for lots of times despite not having a memory from after birth. As for real foals, Wikipedia says they have generally excellent memory that allows to teach anything, but shouldn't what one shouldn't know to perform. If that anyhow carries into MLP, AB should remember something.

Very true that Aj is closest thing to a mom figure for AB than Granny, just like Mac to a dad figure, although Mac regressed from "talkative" assertive (thanks to Rainbow Dash for the word and Google for the definition) colt to a quiet and shy stallion, talking mostly just when asked something, especially if it annoys him. I'd say Mac talking all that in the ep was quite a shock (in good way), but his lil sister was a full-time liar so he couldn't stay quiet.
