Oh yeah I'm not clicking anything then. That's all i need to know

Omegaverse is stories based around 2 or more classes of human that more or less break down into dominants, submissives, and sometimes some other classes.

Imagine that Alpha Wolf theory wasn't completely made up, but it applied to humans. You've got alpha humans who are natural leaders, omegas who are there to carry their babies and sometimes beta who are just there for the elk carcasses and howl sessions.

Sounds cryptofascist, TBH.

I feel like it’s not that hard to wrap your mind around (even with the boi-pregnancy) idk why people treat it like it’s some majorly weird or incomprehensible thing.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

Because it's furry-adjacent

If the Spiderverse is a multiverse of Spider-Man, then the Omegaverse should be a multiverse of the Omega variant, final strain of COVID

Short answer: You don't want to know

Long answer: Watch this video

Even if someone explained it to you, you wouldn't understand it.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm content without that understanding

That is a wise choice, my friend.

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?

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

thinking of some tweet i saw maybe like two weeks ago about how chinese genshin's worldbuilding is because everything is extremely bureaucratic and un-feudal

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Where do people find good omegaverse? …asking for a friend. lea-blush
