It makes way more sense to have a “morally grey” or “guilty pleasure” theme for the fest. Highlighting cheating specifically is not only weird as hell but also leaves so much nuance, if this then that etc
Cheating does entail being morally grey and/or the guilty pleasure. However, allowing writers and readers to explore cheating specifically gives them the chance to read/write about these things in a definite manner (in whatever nuance they see fit), and in a safe space. Respectfully, if you think cheating for a fic fest is weird, then it is not for you and you are free to proceed to other fests that will fit your preferences.
