Yeah, but the bus to Crazytown hardly ever subverts or deconstructs the ugly caste bullshit, it just swaps out all the women for men and keeps right on driving. A/B/O is basically male prison fiction with knots, pregnancy, and lubricating butts. That's not a criticism, it's a pure kink genre and never pretends to be anything else, but it seems more like a reinforcement of toxic models of masculinity than anything else and that can be a little dismaying.

That's fair. It really doesn't deconstruct or criticize those harmful tropes, but then, porn rarely does. Porn tends to come more out of the id than the superego. Mostly I just like that it lets me find MRA lunacy about their spot in the "sexual marketplace" more hilarious than creepy.

I'm not a huge fan of A/B/O but I think a big part of M/M is how it allows women to disconnect from their gender, and I think it works similarly.

I read two kinds of A/B/O - pure idfic wankbait (which is what you describe here).

And the deconstructive stuff.

I tend to think of it as almost two different genres though.
