are biologically programmed into rigid sexual roles

You've not read any quality A/B/O, I take it. Most of them that aren't straight up porn actually deal with the societal problems and address how awful it is to fit those roles. Hidden A/B/O characters are practically a subtrope by this point.

I don't really get your point, sorry. Granted, you're right that I haven't read much quality a/b/o - I avoid it most of the time and regret it everytime I do give it a try, but nonetheless, I have seen fic trying to deal with the societal problems and how awful it is to fit into the roles, as you say, but the roles are still there in those. It's not the mindless porn a/b/o fics that bother me, it's the idea of a/b/o in itself.

I can see how people might be interested in reading about these worlds, and in deconstructing them, but I find them disturbing and uninteresting - not to mention completely unrepresentative of what makes the canon appealing in the first place.

Fair enough. Considering the idea of BDSM seems disturbing and uninteresting to me, it might just be that our fic interests are fundamentally incompatible. It happens.

Well, the whole idea isn't that biology saying A/B/O is there is awesome - it's meant to be kinda horrid.
