So on their scale do the Omega males also become pregnant if banged by an Alpha?
Or do these people not even realize where their 'scale' actually came from?
I am 100% certain the people that came up with Omega picked Omega due to 'Alpha and Omega'.
I posted a big blurb on this elsewhere in the thread but basically, Gamma Delta and Omega all were introduced after Alpha and Beta was seen as too simplistic.
At the time, Omegas were meant to be... even more manly than Alphas because they didn't give a fuck.
The be all, end all, of male archetypes.
This did not work as the power creep continued with Sigmas.
At this point I await the addition of Tau Psi Rho and Epsilon males. Basically because any of those greek letters sound cooler than 'Zeta'.
It's funny, because I saw Omega being used on 7chan way back before it emerged into use among the rest of the alt-white manosphere guys (probably around 2012), and they (or at least, some of them) were aware of Omegaverse, and used it derogatorily as a sarcastic term for "betas" who thought they were "alphas". I would not be at all surprised if the overlap with 4chan is how it bled into wider use, and lost the sarcastic meaning.
sigh
that is entirely possible.
wouldnt be the first time a totally contextually misunderstood term was more or less accidentally appropriated to have some new meaning, making its widespread adoption and widespread lack of its contextual origination even more infuriating.
This is kind of but not really similar:
What in the fuck is up with the PC GTA/RDR community using the term 'mod' incorrectly?
In every other context of video gaming ever, a mod is something that adds or changes a single player game, or a modded multiplayer game basically includes the server set of mods that all behave equally for all players.
But in Rockstar Online communities, modding means to be using a cheat engine. Something like what would be called hacks or aimbots or teleporting yourself or others or spawning anything on command, some other kind of client side exploitation software.
I have no idea how this happened or is the norm.
In any other game ever, a 'modded' server would mean oh we tweaked some global vars and we added these weapons and this vehicle and this new mechanic.
In Rockstar games a modded server is not a term that makes sense to these people because modding is cheating and only players can run mods... even though you can absolutely run an emulated private server through RedM/FiveM, and you can absolutely (and basically have to) run server side mods (as a barebones setup will be lacking MANY core and ancillary gameplay functions).
It fucking baffles me.
WRT R*, I have seen hacks referred to as mods in some korean MMO communities, because client mods are lumped together with hacks in their ToS under "game modifications". No clue if that's what happened with R*'s stuff, but wouldn't be surprised.
Fuck, I wish this was real, lol.
Good news, it is real. All anuses self lubricate. They’re mucous to help the feces pass.
Yeah, omegaverse fanfic is (one reason) why I would probably just burst out laughing if a guy tried to call himself alpha in front of me. I know too much, and and would be too tempted to break their little minds with an impromptu fandom history lecture. It predates destiel.
Do I have to claim to be an alpha to get the lecture? :D
Does this apply to battle alphas, or only "alpha males?" (Little bit of Geneforge reference there :D)
I read that wiki page and I can't help but come to the conclusion that primarily gay werewolf fanfic is being used to promote fascism?
I prefer my absurdist and surrealist humour to be works of fiction D:
Wow. I had no idea. That's amazing.
