I’ve read a lot of omega verse stories, specifically BL but I’d never heard the term “bitching” being used. The whole changing into an omega is a normal plot but reading them calling that “bitching” felt really off putting to me. Like yeah female dogs are called a “bitch” and the term “bitch in heat” is a thing as well but to read that being used for people sounds very dehumanizing.
bitching & studding are old abo terms. Imo this explains the terms good https://www.tumblr.com/omegaverse-guide/798609605280350208/bitching
Imo i think abo fans have to accept the fact that the omegaverse concept as a whole is very misogynistic (and dare i say homophobic.) Alphas are usually buff and very masculine. they are considered “superior” & are at the top of the social pyramid. While Omegas are typically feminine twinks and submissive. they are considered “inferior” bc of their heats & bc they can give birth. AxA & OxO relationship are the same sex so it’s considered “taboo” while AxO is the “normal” relationship. This is why i usually only read AxA tbh, there’s usually less misogyny in it
Tbf I’m not an omega verse fan, I prefer non toxic stories. It’s hard finding that with this genre tho. Doesn’t stop me from giving some stories a shot but most of the time I wind up disappointed cause once again someone is getting abused some way or another. (If it gets too much I just drop it completely, which I’ve done a lot with omega verse.)
if you’re okay with AxA i recommend these two. I read them about a year ago but i don’t remember them being toxic https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/number_of_cases/

Everybody talking about the sigma, nobody is talking about the bitching...
Or is that just a common abo term now?
