Yet A/B/O seems to be weirdly acceptable and praised in fandom, whereas yaoi tropes are considered a joke. It's like fandom's unaware of its own hypocrisy.

[ariakas]

Are you kidding me? Or do you just have a completely different fandom? I've always seen it treated with nothing but derision and scorn.

DA

I see people laughing at Yaoi tropes a lot, making parodies of them like with Dorito Face Bad Touch, while ABO is in every kink meme/fest/bing bang/bingo...

[ariakas]

Sure it cropped up on the kink meme in my fandom too but pretty much everyone treated the request like it was made of AIDS, cancer, and the plague.

Every time A/B/O shows up here, nobody shies away from mocking it.

Aren't places more male-dominated though? If they are, that might have something to do with it.

*your places

[ariakas]

Sure, but f!s isn't.

Every fandom I'm in has a/b/o fics+prompts and it's a pretty commonly used kink at this point. I think it's easier to avoid in less active or smaller fandoms, but yeah. Hopefully it'll go the way of yaoi tropes and be made into a punchline some day.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's considered more acceptable because it delineates, quite specifically, that it is a kink (and the entire universe has to sculpted to justify the kink); that is to say, it's not just taken for granted as the relationship default.

Seriously, have you ever been in fandoms where yaoi tropes were prevalent?

[(Anonymous)]

NA That's a good point. I have never seen an argument about how so-and-so could never ever be alpha (or omega) and everyone who writes it is WRONG and OOC. The most I've seen is an "I don't really buy it" comment, but even that acknowledges the constructed roles. The distinction is important.
