Can I just say, as a counterpoint, that it's the society in those fics that squicks me more than any of the sexytimes.

Like, I've read sexbits in fic that just Were Not My Thing, and mostly I just skip a bit past that to get to the character bits.

But in ABO fic, there's this whole creepy society. And maybe we'll be dealing with the main characters being bastions of Omega Rights or something, but it's still just...it's just way too creepy. Just...combining civil rights problems with Rape Is Okay Sometimes and almost always a dash of victim blaming ("well, what did ____ expect, leaving the house in heat/forgetting his no-heat pills/trying to do this job etc"), and a society that literally does not need women (and to me, this stands out a lot in Avengers fic, because even as slash-happy as it is, the women usually get to be in the fic in a positive way)...

That's the squick to me.

Improbable biology and "scenting the air" and what-not aside, the society itself is so massively unpleasant, and the way that even good characters act because of that society is so creepy that I just can't get any enjoyment out of the character side of the fic.
