Not gonna lie, omegaverse anything typically creeps me out a lot. The usual fandom stereotyping (big strong manly man! with ~delicate waif manchild~) is kicked into overdrive, and issues of gender and consent are... not really done well. But it's pretty clearly rule of porn to me. It's about the appeal of a visceral, animalistic sexuality, where the omega is so irresistible that the alpha simply can't hold back and ravishes them. The sensual aspects, like pheromones and scenting and knotting, tie in there as well. There's also an element of losing inhibitions. It's basically a flashier version of sex pollen.

From what little I know of the A-B-O (I don't read it), "flashier version of sex pollen" sounds like a apt definition.

nah, sex pollen is straight forward. it's not consensual, but they fuck anyway.
a/b/o is like if a bunch of sexist romance/porn tropes were legitimized by biology in a world where women are (often) erased. I understand intellectually why people like it, but I prefer the straightforward rape fantasy...

ayrt

Still kinda sex pollen-y, except the sex pollen is the hormones these fictional bodies churn out.

What I wonder is, if someone created a totally alien race, with alien appearance, alien number of limbs, alien genitals, etc., and then slapped A/B/O on there, if the arguments against would be the same or different, of if A/B/O would suddenly become acceptable original fic.

It actually is kind of split - a lot of them do fairly interesting explorations of gender and consent (well away from the mine-field of trying to mess with the "real" thing), and a lot of them do the trope-heavy porn. Some of them do both to interesting effect.
