#omegaverse tiktok

[eurydiceatdawn]

the omegaverse tiktoks are all fun and games till you properly acknowledge how it reflects on our own society and how we treat women.

heat suppressants (and other basic things needed to function) being ridiculously expensive and inaccessible

at the same time, suppressants being something expected for omega's to take and pushed on to them – then shamed when they dont

omega's using dangerous alternatives to said supplements they can't access

a strict societal expectation for omegas to end up with alphas (sounds a bit like heteronormativity to me, no?)

under paid omegas who are treated unfairly in the work environment, pushed to provide form within the home instead

alpha's (men) having a clear privilege in quite literally everything, "top of the food chain"

honestly, the list goes on

I just made a post about omegaverse fake discourse tiktok and how the various interpretations of omegaverse people have can affect their roleplaying but other than that,

I just wanna make a list of things about it that are so funny to me.

This idea that omegas should have to/be forced to use suppressants or that it's the polite thing to do is something I've never encountered in a fic. Seems like pure tiktok creation to me.

People forgot scent blockers exist, and given they're usually parfumes rather than meds/injections, they're likely much cheaper. (My character is getting business venture ideas from this which would either make her a millionaire, or proof that the alphas complaining just wanna police omegas and their bodies.)

A guy saying that you can buy suppressants off of Temu or make them yourself. I didn't look into his profile but I wonder whether his character is just dumb or he doesn't know much about omegaverse. How to DIY medication?

And probably the best for the last:

The random lost tiktokers who don't know what this is and how did they end up here. "Is this real?" take a guess:-D Though, I like to try to explain. When someone said this feels like an inside joke he isn't in on, I thought basically "Yeah, that's pretty much it"

Shoutout to the creator over on TikTok who’s doing videos on whether or not omegas can use heat blockers during Ramadan. You are braver than any US Marine.

alright I’m gonna say it I can excuse a lot in fanfiction but people who write straight abo fics and make the man the alpha and the woman the omega are literally just wrong like you didn’t need abo to write that fic that way please appropriate a different kink genre for that shit

hey if it works, it works

[therobishow]

Tiktok is obsessed with trying to create their own Goncharov. I've seen several attempts at it, and they all fall flat. It's one of those things where it's so pathetic it's funny.

Also, the inherent failure comes from the fact that it's always someone trying to make money off it.

Meanwhile, a bunch of people are making videos about fake discourse as though they're in the omegaverse, and that's amazing. I love that.

idk about yall but I really like sfw abo. like.

all the fucked up relationship dynamics and the culture that’s usually just minorly dramatized mysoginy like. I love hearing about how scenting and alpha/omega roles work in everyday life. like in classrooms or in parents roles or with siblings. is using alpha commands in every day situations seen as normal? how far is owning your omega in public allowed to go before people get uncomfortable? do alpha siblings always take care of omega siblings?

what if the omega is older and a boy? what has more weight? how fucked up can we make the dehumanization of omegas without it actually being a sexual thing but still being a very obvious you have your role here and it’s not to be a person vibe??

[astrahannah]

While the omegaverse discourse roleplay happening on Tiktok is peak comedy, and I'm having a good time over there, what's also interesting to think about is how each person's role they play can be affected by what kind of omegaverse they're used to seeing and what they implement into their view of the genre, given it doesn't have many solid rules.

Like, the main thing is about whether omegas should have to/be expected to use suppressants, because a heat is distracting alphas and they find it hard to control themselves.

(sometimes, it's just pure rehashed sexism, which gets annoying)

And well, what I mean is - I've read omegaverse before, in which alphas (at least pubescent ones), when smelling an omega in heat, lose all sense and go rabid. I've only seen that once, but in some omegaverse, the animalistic aspect is very strong. Then, you might lean to a character saying yes, omegas better use suppressants. The same if it's in your head that a rut is triggered by heats instead of having its own cycle.

But if your omegaverse has alphas and omegas who are still themselves during heat/rut, you'd lean towards "no, it's a bodily function, alphas can deal, omegas owe this to no one, also suppressants are expensive"

Or, minor things. Someone could read my beta character saying heat and rut scents burn her nose sometimes, and be like "Whaaat? Betas can't smell those." While I write betas with enhanced sense of smell, so, she can absolutely smell those.

[ineffectualdemon]

There are two groups of people talking about what it's like to be an Alpha in society on tiktok and they are very different
