Out of curiosity, are there any female omega verse?(Where they aren't Alfas ) Cause I was...

UR SO RIGHTT, thing is i love seeing portrayals of discimination in stories and the way so many authors portray these themes and integrate them into a story, i think ones that come to mind r like beastars, aot, hunger games. But i dont like the way its done in the omegaverse

hahsh :P
and sure you may, but to be honest i'm not so sure myself loll
i think it's mainly because i developed a reading obsession so i just read whatever story there is no matter how good or bad (unfortunately) lmaoo,
but for omegaverse specifically i really think that i read just for fun - when i first came across omegaverse i was stunned like really really confused and maybe even weirded out, but after reading more and understanding the concept (even though it's kinda...unique?) i started developing an interest, so i think it's just that -
but I sometimes really do have some serious thoughts about it in the back of my head when reading, just like you already stated your opinion in the beginning so yeahh
I hope that this answered your question

woah this is actually a mindblowing take i might need to let that sink in and reflect a bit LMAOOO

Maybe ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Id heard that theory before and it makes sense.

But if they want to self insert why not just read BG stories? After a while when you've explored enough, what's the use of turning those "omegas" into a women in all but name?

Loll im not a fan of the omegaverse so i cant speak for everyone but i agree def. Tho i think its that the omegaverse is an easier tool for them to have *all* of this and have a simple page explaining the lore and thats it, with other universes or realistic stories it might require more

Also i want to add to the sex craze, i think its also ab having the characters be on a primal instict type of thing, a lot of ppl have predator/prey kinks, (primal play)

I know this stuff doesnt apply to everyone tho, some ppl just enjoy the concept of it all

I like those as well, but the whole distinction and dynamic between alpha, omega and beta is also interesting to see, minus the rape parts (even better if they're not classic omega uke x alpha seme stories, I'm having a blast collecting all the unusual omegaverse pairings )

Yup I think the issue with omega verse is that it was never intended to portray the social issues anyway. It is, or was originally, just a smut device which itself is rooted in objectification of gay men

Wait, this is so interesting and it also makes so much sense!!

There are stories that explore it.

Majority of abo is straight up porn() but there definetly is.

I just don't see the point of writing about injustices in a made up society made to mirror sexism when....real life sexism is right there?

Far be it for me to dictate what anyone writes but women go through so much, you have so much material that would have an actual impact because a lot of times sexism isn't as cut and dry ABO stories make it. Even the ones that try to explore it write about it like an intro to feminism seminar to stop domestic violence abusers from hitting their girlfriends its

Idk I'm a hater so my opinions are a bit skewed in that regard

Ahhh straight omegaverse is very fetish/kink based i think, many explore male alphas as there are exceptions and all that but youll know better if a fan of it tells u hahah
But it can explore male omega/female alpha pairs as well

OHHH I see. Yeah I agree on the predator/prey kink it's hard to fulfill that anywhere else if that's what some ppl like about it

I think u hit the nail on the head with this one

Maybe because it makes it too real? even when omegaverse portrays omega men similarly to a woman, it still allows them to maintain a distance from the character and explore their fantasies without directly involving (their) female body because it is still a man, not a woman. Even though western societies are very sexually liberated, I think "sexual desire is a taboo!" and the pressures for a girl to be pure is still surprisingly common. Not that this makes it right in any way but yeah

I'm just imagining. A straight omega verse with the typical plot points they sprinkle in sometimes to disguise how it's just straight up porn, like telling an omega they're only good for having children when women already hear it on the daily .

Like no shit.

I've read plenty of straight (non abo) stories where the female lead already hears that, omega verse quite literally changes nothing

Oh yes thisss, some ppl have done research on it and i agree, i wanna add that a lot of cultures, religions and just the world dont allow women to explore their sexualities, and make them feel shame, excluded and repressed, this was one of the foundations to how yaoi came to be, and why dark romance is so popular among women, its an outlet to explore the most taboo of topics and inner feelings/kinks but in a space you wont be forced to repress it or have men be violent towards you. Im not gonna get into why people develop dark kinks or desires tho thats a really long topic and complicated

I see some potential in maybe a dystopian story. Dystopias usually present real issues but exaggerated to the extreme. Though you're right I'm only grasping at straws here because I genuinely can't think of 1 good thing about the omegaverse genre. No matter how much I try to wrap a my head around why people like it the only conclusions I can come up with are fetishisation and heteronormativity.

Yeah and it does make sense, but it is problematic imo bc even though it isn't perpetuating violence against women, it is doing so with another marginalised group, so gay men are essentially caught in the 'crossfire'. That's why I can't get behind it, because in creating a safe space for women to explore their desires, we've done reinforced stereotypes, misrepresentation and fetishisation

I think its bc of that and bc omegaverse is so ludricous and hard to take seriously they can separate it from irl experiences and feelings

Ouu u atee

It's cuz I've been on this site since 2020 I have witnessed all the discourse around omegaverse and people did hella research
