I'm literally only encountering this Omegaverse for the first time right now because of Hexbear and apparently it is significant enough to receive hundreds of thousands of views on youtube videos?
Is its audience large or is it so weird and niche that talking about it is popular among people who aren't even readers?
It's basically just shipping fanfics/lemons with a dash of horny worldbuilding. Fanfic is as popular as ever so I would bet the omegaverse fanbase is decently large
Where do fanfic people reside in the online space? I obviously pick up the little parts that leak over here from, time to time but I've never really investigated myself and I've never really seen them on reddit, is it one of the few subcultures online that reddit actually failed to absorb?
Do they have forums/discords/influencers? Or where exactly does the audience gather to like, spread content or talk? Let's say someone writes a fanfic, how does that someone then put that fanfic in front of others or get people to talk about/spread it?
I have absolutely no concept of what the tree for the spread of information looks like for this audience.
forums.spacebattles.com is a big one
Yeah I think I first heard of it from a Lindsay Ellis video years ago and thought it was an elaborate April fool's prank
