this is also why bl and yaoi are popular w women, a male-male romance doesn't have the same cultural power dynamics as a male-female one and so they can identify with either party and enjoy whatever the setting/plot is without the baggage of IRL het dynamics and cultural female oppression, and that's why I'll forever support the straight girl heated rivalry fans

And that’s why I fully believe the omegaverse is a lot more about the world building than just the sex parts

my favorite part of ABO Dynamics is how they facilitate expressions of gender fluidity. it doesn't matter how feminine you are, if you feel like a man you're still a man. and a woman can be extremely masculine and still be a woman🥰

This is why straight people writing omega woman/alpha man makes no sense

💯 That's what it is. Same with mpreg. I know for me it's about taking my deep rooted horror of ever being pregnant and making it men's problem 😂

if only they were written like that, I'm at the point where so much of it is just "oh look gender roles again." because too much of that genre never bothers to reflect on itself or the actual meat of its implications.

not so hot take: this is exactly why Frankenstein is considered horror.

Saw someone ask why “there’s sexism in a fantasy” and I was like, who told you Omegaverse was a fantasy instead of an allegory?

this is why i get so frustrated when people say omegaverse is bad or morally wrong because it is involves misogyny. like that is in fact a core theme!

Literally any violent sexual trope in books could be viewed this way. Some women do fantasize about power imbalances because they can face it and retreat from it into the safety of reality at any given moment. There’s nothing wrong with that! What we’re cool with in fiction is not what we’re cool with in reality.

Also little girls when compared to little boys will often make characters or toys fit them instead of the other way around, for instance if you have a boy Superman he’d pretend he was Superman too, but if you gave a girl Superman she might continue her original make believe story. (Also Toy Story’s Mrs. Nesbit, is a good example because he’s clearly a space ranger but isn’t used that way because she doesn’t want to)

I think this can be also be said about women loving gay male media. People call it fetishism but it was never about the s£x to me.

I personally don’t understand it? Like it’s always the same opresive dynamics rarely is it critiqued or is libration shown. Like in bl genders has rigid roles and is kind of acting like it’s not 2 men and are restricted same way man women relationships are. Are there exceptions yes for sure but it’s not the rule. Idk I feel like it doesnt creat distance and when its omegaverse it’s like a worse example of it just because the pregnant character is a man doesnt make it less relatable. Like seeing an omega who doesn’t want to have kids or is horrified of pregnancy and adopts something other than getting married and being pregnant being your destiny, I feel sucked right back into the real world.

I am processing so much personal trauma watching Omegaverse. I don't know why, but it feels safer than some of my therapy

I wanna ask. Omegaverse stories just pregnancy stuff all the time? Like, is pregnancy inherent to the genre? I wanna know because I have had interest in omegaverse but I haven't been sure if I wanna read any, just in case pregnancy is inherent to the genre.

literally yes, but I am also deeply unfond of ABO that just transposes misogyny onto omegas. it could be so much more insane and messy than that
