No way, Pit Babe is an omegaverse??? I had no idea at all, the description didn't give it away TT
Yeah, and that's why I like the series. They didn't focus too much on it and created a whole other story to push it aside.
In general at least for me the conflict of these real actors playing AOB comes from the dilemma: as concept in fanfaction it can be fun to read about, but when you see real ppl acting in a series it just shows the issues that the concept has ranging from consent related stuff, enslaving someone bc of biology, to the somehow normalized violence that is common in the stories based on AOB and many more....
I think it's a real challenge to balance out what is actually still tolerable for ppl to watch vs. how obvious the AOB concept is. Comparing Pit Babe and KNOT shows this really well: if you faded into the background too much, ppl won't even realize its part of the plot, but when it is the core of the plot is it already gringe/uncomfortable for the viewers, bc of the reasons mentioned previously.
