Re: Venting/kink thread.

[(Anonymous)]

is an inherently problematic kink.

Because there are no ABO writers who explore the implications of the setting and write about characters who seek equal, consensual relationships within it. There's no way to write ABO that isn't all-rape-and-misogyny, all-the-time.

...Oh wait.

Re: Venting/kink thread.

Not denying this - but affected consent is still presented as something for someone to enjoy/get off on most of the time, even if not by those authors. It's also a trope where consent issues are inherent, even if they're approached in certain ways. I'm afraid I still think it's generally a fucked-up kink, and don't enjoy the fic that comes out of it.

I didn't intend to start an argument - though "inherently problematic" is rather a loaded phrase, I admit. I'm sure you have a point. There are ways to write this trope that address its potentially problematic elements (and I've tried reading stories that attempt this). But the issues that make up the foundations of an omega 'verse remain, in my eyes.

Re: Venting/kink thread.

Fair enough. Oddly, I think I'm approaching the 'verse from an unusual angle: my kink is for enthusiastic, uncoerced consent, and people care about and who prioritize ensuring that their partners are genuinely willing -- and it's easier to emphasize that in a setting in which that attitude is not the default expectation.

Re: Venting/kink thread.

SA: It's one of mine too (big consent) but for me the 'verse has the opposite effect. Thanks for understanding, anon.

AYRT: Right back at you. I like when these conversations turn out respectfully.
