#the a/b/o discourse

[tommyssupercoolblog]

"omegaverse is only a porn thing and if someone asks what it is i'll just say it's a porn thing and end the discussion there. also porn is gross haha eew so omegaverse is evil i'm gonna bleach my eyes and blow up my computer" 1) girl how do you hear 'there are 3-6 recognized genders and sexes (possibly more) in binary societies instead of 2, and also human's social lives and biology are different, and larger living situations with non-relatives living together are frequently normalized" and be unable to think of any other use for that broad idea. How are you unable to think of any other creative ways to engage with that concept or integrate it into something. I think in general calling something a "___ trope" narrows the scope of it in an unnecessary way. ideas can be used anywhere in any number of ways, not just one. 2) if you go "haha i know what omegaverse is i'm going to hell" then like,, please recognize that sex (and by extension kink) is not a dirty bad thing and the fact that this concept originated in a nsfw fanfiction isn't something that needs to be compensated for or a sign you're depraved or gross. don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with joking around an stuff I just need you to know that it's not actually a problem even if u joke it is, because some people are very genuine about thinking that it's some horrible plague upon the earth that people think about sex in strange ways sometimes. it's like,, fine.

If Joey had tiktok he'd be posting shit like "Top 10 most out of pocket things to happen to me: 1.) Seto Kaiba trapping me and my friends in a murder theme park" and then Kaiba Corp would send him a cease and desist

Literally . the tiktok feud would be insane

Guys is it a hot take to say I might love the cakeverse?

Hey jsyk I think one of your moots is alphaphobic. Figured you should know since you don't seem like the type to put up with that sort of thing. Id give you the name but I don't want to start drama

Oh shitttt

No I'm totally not Alphaphobic you're right

I actually uhh.. . well I actually am and Alpha myself so thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!

I never want anyone to feel unsafe on my blog! And that induces Alphas and Omegas. Betas too! Just because they're the majority doesn't mean they don't need support too!

Could you DM me their blog name and what post they made?

The evidence isn't totally necessary though, I trust you, random internet Anon :3

It'd be so funny if the vampires in Zombies 4 were a metaphor for the infighting in the queer community. Like the movie is about how all the vampires are being hunted, but the daywalkers and the nightwalkers are so busy arguing about who's more valid that they can't properly fend off the hunters. A DCOM making a good point on the state of online discourse rn would be hilarious-

A lot of A/B/O fics write this traditional society where omegas are slut shamed, and pressured to have children, and have limited bodily autonomy, and aren't able to play "masculine" sports, and are pressured to be feminine and small and thin and beautiful

It's just a genderbend AU with extra steps and a strong dash of misogyny

[deus-ex-mona]

such is the tale of a ✨chronically online hypocrite✨

[ramveins]

As much as I am an omegaverse defender/enjoyer/writer, sometimes I wonder whether or not the trope of demonising "illegal suppressants" (specifically separate from birth control) in fics is supposed to come off as analogous to the fear mongering surrounding DIY hormones on purpose, or if it's all just one big coincidence and that's why no one ever tags a warning for it?

Sometimes my AuDHD brand of special interest do be winning though

Fucking JUICEBOXES ?? have PAPER STRAWS NOW ??!

HOMICIDAL OUTRAGE

[randomprosho]

antis keep talking about seeing proshippers in ship/main tags but I'm seeing literal irl nsfw photos that are barely blured.. imo, that's even worse? I don't want to be in the omori tag seeing side boobs and vagina from the porn bots.

bots invading tags is the real issue here, anits. GET ON IT !!

I think we all need to have a serious conversation about those alpha male bros are appropriating the omega verse. This is incredibly wrong and problematic.

A/B/O dynamics are an important part of of fandom culture, fics in this sub genre exist in every fandom and are an essential part of fandom culture.

They are also apart of furry culture but since i am not a member of that space i do not qualify to speak on that fandom.

The omegaverse is fundamentally an exploration of gender roles and biology in society.

They are NOT a tool to use to show off ur toxic masculinity bullshit. A/B/O dynamics are not assigned based off of behavior. Toxic sexist dude bros calling themselves “alphas” are fundamentally misunderstanding the point of A/B/O theory.

This is appropriation of fandom for a mainstream audience.

What do the finance bro’s know of slick? the podcast dudes know of knotting? The bad relationship advice guys know of mating marks?

Have they ever read a heat fic? I don’t think so.

so I first saw this meme 4 years ago when my then gf asked me to explain the star trek part of it

and I went on a rant because the leftist vs liberal thing was starting to be more prominent online and driving me up the wall

anyway that was 4 years ago. wonder why I've been thinking about that again lately

Not every word that is a slur is a slur in every context, you don’t gotta not use the word in its innocent context just because it means a slur in other contexts… I think it’s usually pretty obvious how you mean the word.

anyways! it’s herohei hours~~~~~~
