This show was perfct, I really donútiť understand all the hate. Ok, it was the slowest slow burn you can imagine…
We’ve heard of "multiple main couples." We’ve also heard of pacing and not burying a well-developed gay plot under a mountain of straight subplots
The gay couple was stuck in a game of emotional limbo, playing the most drawn-out staring contest for ten episodes. The straight one enjoyed a fleshed-out story by episode four. And that's hardly "perfection." We’re being sidelined in favor of pandering to society's fetishistic obsession with straight relationships
Some fetishes can’t take a hint, can they?
"There are many BLs with straight side couple"
So what? Not everyone's a fan of this trend within the BL genre
I watch BL and GL to get away from the same old straight stories. Keep them out of my escape zone, there’s plenty of other places where they can stay on repeat
This is literally a recipe for a success. If this is true, depending on how well the story is written, they may…
I don’t take business advice from omegaverse fans
Decisions made by today's omegaverse investors will come back to haunt them in the near future. "Twilight" and "Fifty Shades" embarrassed literature. Omegaverse is worse and will tarnish the reputation or quality of literature as a whole
"I have seen plenty of Omegaverse that is well plotted and thought out, not just straight up problematic porn"
You found a needle in a haystack. Too bad the rest of omegaverse is a messy haystack
"Omegaverse hasn't just stuck around and gotten worse, I've seen it genuinely improve over time under certain portrayals"
It’s not improvement, it’s Stockholm Syndrome, fanfic style. You’ve been conditioned to tolerate omegaverse
We’re reacting to what was presented. We saw homophobia. You saw "queer art." And I believe that’s the nuts…
The gaslight special: "it’s not homophobia, you’re just sensitive and immature." Is gaslighting an appropriate, constructive, or mature method to handle a disagreement?
Removing a gay couple and replacing it with a straight one is textbook homophobia and erasure. One gay couple surviving doesn’t cancel out the deliberate erasure of another
“And sad that this is tied to such trivialities, where there are enough countries where massive discrimination takes place"
What about those countries? We have enough emotional bandwidth to care about more than one problem. Unless you're a superhero and plan on solving the worst problems one by one? Don't waste your keystrokes fighting in the comments, there are bigger, more important battles to be won!
Good they removed BL, but still had some creepy vibe between main characters.
Creepy vibes? If a work's too creepy to adapt faithfully, they should've chosen a different one that's less likely to cause offense, or written their own story instead of trying to change someone else's
Congratulations, Knetz. You just laid out for all to see the bitter, jealous, and resentful Knetz mindset toward…
"Watch what you write"
Your words seem to have an abusive edge to them. The passive-aggressive intimidation and blanket blaming of "Knetz" (which is xenophobic and intellectually lazy) don't lend credibility to your case against abuse
This is literally a recipe for a success. If this is true, depending on how well the story is written, they may…
Viral doesn't equal valuable. The popularity of omegaverse speaks more to people's desire for mindless indulgence than it does to the quality of the content
"Omegaverse is here to stay"
Left unchecked, everything sticks around longer than it should
"& if the mainstream media is smart they will invest & make bank doing it"
Omegaverse appeals to savvy investors about as much as a hornet’s nest at a picnic. They'd quickly run in the other direction
may it fail and make every country stop making "omegaverse"
Omegaverse is shallow at its core, and insisting it's not a "straight" fetish trope won't make it any less of one
"Early Omegaverse fanfics were problematic & shallow with mostly porn & no plot"
Not much has changed
"If anything, in the gay male case, it caters to a gay couples fantasy of being able to have their own children"
Omegaverse feeds into womb envy and pregnancy fetishes. Men's coveting of the womb is coddled, and women, complicit in their own objectification, create the manliest-looking female characters capable of bearing children (omegas) so that misogynistic men and women can live vicariously through women's ability to get pregnant and pass off the weight of life's tribulations to another
Adopting or fostering the existing children in need of loving homes is far more meaningful and moral than indulging in this pro-life, procreation propaganda
This is literally a recipe for a success. If this is true, depending on how well the story is written, they may…
I believe characters equipped for childbearing are women. Omegaverse fans label them differently for reasons of convenience, personal gratification, etc
"Does that mean Alpha women in this genre are actually all men??"
Do they have penises or the equipment to impregnate others? If so, they are men
"Made an acct just to reply to your shitty attitude" "Pretty sure it’s considered harassment actually, so my next step on this platform is to find how to report you"
It's called exchanging ideas and giving you the gift of my wisdom
You stalked my comment, created a burner account to pick fights with me, and threatened to report me. Should I report you for targeted harassment, or should we call this a draw?
Neither does trying to reason with the fans who’ve built a religion around omegaverse and respond to criticism with cries of heresy, but here we are

If done right, it wouldn’t be omegaverse anymore
You're defending a drama that took "coming out" and turned it into a vague crush plot with a straight backup plan. The bar is low

The people who'd write dramatic comments like yours
"Why did your mind immediately slither its way to picturing these parents in the act of procreation"
You wrote a paragraph about that exact mental image
“... itching for another suicide thrill"
Guilt-tripping and emotionally manipulating other people with suicide statistics won't improve the conversation around mental health

Not all the footage made it to the final cut. You’ll get the full picture in the behind-the-scenes of episodes 9 and 10
