A former employee went on a AMA and somewhat confirmed that during the run of the original Ben10 there were increasing concerns over the huge amount of incest smut / porn that was being created of Ben and Gwen, the show's creators were worried that the character designs were to blame, and were worried that in the birth of the movement we all know and "love" today, their show might be canceled due to the huge amount of incest porn. So they reached a consensus Season 2 was originaly going to be Ben turning 11 and going on another summer road trip, they (show runners) decided to instead age up the characters and make them as unappealing as possible, outright changing the animation studio, as a means of damage controlling the situation. The also forced the characters to have "significant others" to try to dampen the incest porn being created. Alright, now we wait for the studio glowshills to show up and start dismissing it as "Anon that's an Urban Legend"
