When something happens often, it loses it's ironical nature. Irony has to do with things happening contrary to what is expected. With all that we know about dads molesting their daughters, that is hardly "unexpected" anymore. It's like priests molesting kids- sure it's tragic, but it's so common it's lost it's ironical nature. IMO, of course.

So I think we are merely differing over the definition of irony. So many of these conversations on SI come down to a simple case of different views on definitions.
