Re: Why isn't Yuletide growing?

[(Anonymous)]

It goes back way further than directedverse, I remember similar Xena uber wanks.

But ultimately the trope is still weird sex shit. Some people use it to explore gender, sure, but you can't define the trope without the weird sex shit because that is literally the definition of the trope, there is no definition of omegaverse possible that doesn't include the weird sex shit.

People object to this because they're insecure about something that's important to them being called weird sex shit. I don't care. It's weird sex shit just like lifestyle BDSM is weird sex shit. That doesn't mean people are fucking 24/7, and if you interpret it that way...again, that's a personal problem.

Finally: it strikes me as unbelievably condescending to insist you can't describe omegaverse as a kink thing because it might hurt trans peoples' feelings. No. I reject this categorically. If you're being transphobic then you're being transphobic; "omegaverse is a kink premise with a lot of weird sex stuff that should be opt-in for an exchange" is not transphobia.
