about omegaverse stemming from misogyny..
I wanna know you guyses thoughts because honestly im seeing why people believe this. I've been reading omegaverse manwhas for a few years now and I must say that even before knowing of this subject, I was already irked by some common cliches of omegaverse.
These are some omegaverses that I heavily dont fuck with for reference: Love is an Illusion Kiss me Liar Low Tide in Twilight Omega Bite The Origin of Species Honey Trouble (I HATE) Last Omegaverse (+many more)
I actually dont really the majority of omegaverses, but there are FEW exceptions: Define the Relationship Do You Still Like Me?
and they rly did make some eye opening points that made me feel kinda irked about omegaverse, heres the caption of their post:
"the message of omegaverse is so dehumanizing, how omegas are treated like they are just destined to find an alpha which just reduces us to the same biological stereotypes we face in real life. honestly, heat is just this massive spike in hormones that shuts an omegas brain down just to force a pregnancy, while pheromones are nothing but a way for the body to scan for genetic health. the bond is just a permanent imprint in your head that turns into an addiction, because destiny is a lie made up by our bodies and the knot is just a physical lock that forces everything to happen. at the end of the day, it is just a program we didn't even choose."
I'm not gonna say anything else because some of my few fav manwhas are actually omegaverse, but they're all mostly alpha x alpha and dominant omegas x alphas I just wanna know everyones thoughts abt this cause I know this is a sensitive subject thats been talked about recently.
Personally, I am a big feminist, and after hearing these points I dont really want to consume media that pushes these ideals that can be connected to deeper societal/sexist issues. This whole idea of heat and mpregnancy just seems weird to me now, it feels like blatant mockery of the experience and struggles of being a woman. Idk if I can view omegaverse the same. "Fiction is fiction!!", ok but remember fiction can influence beliefs, values and behaviour. Fiction reflects real human experiences.
Well the thing is that omegaverse has always meant to portray the characteristics and heat cycles of animals, especially wolves. In many animal groups, “omegas” or female animals are ultimately reduced to their biological needs to find mates and reproduce through heat cycles and pheromones, just as “alphas” or male animals are the same.
