heres a thread on why abo/the alpha beta omega verse is transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic and just problematic because its tiring having to say it every day

abo is transphobic because it completely ignores trans people by giving cis men things they usually dont have irl (for example the ability to give birth or self lubricate or a vagina)

tw homophobia
it also reinforces the harmful stereotypical gay relationship roles where one of them is masculine and the other one feminine and the harmful stereotypes that gay people are predatory and animalistic

tw abuse rape
which leads me to my next point: in many cases abo media normalises abuse and rape and uses them as plot devices (and then of course the strong alpha has to save the weak omega)

tw misogyny
another point is that it is extremely misogynistic as the feminine omegas are weak, submissive and have no power and the masculine alphas are strong, dominant and have all the power

what i want to add is that there are trans people who like reading/writing abo but that is because it makes them feel better about themselves while cis people do it because it satisfies their fetishy fantasies so keep that in mind
i want to add this! i didnt know this and im very sorry for using it https://twitter.com/te__ete/status/1278024626501586948
cis people should not write or consume a/b/o fics and a/b/o media in general ever because it is simply fetishising so please just consume actual trans media and stop ignoring and speaking over trans people

something i want to add is that there are fics that have elements from a/b/o but arent a/b/o fics (for example self lubrication for cis men) which is transphobic as well so cis people shouldnt write or read this as well

i want to clarify that this is NOT aimed at trans people and my intention is not to tell trans people how to feel about this like i already said i made this with cis people in mind because especially in kpop there are a lot of cis(het) mlm fetishisers who ship and read a/b/o
and it grosses me out to think about how many shippers people read and write it and use it to fulfill their mlm fantasies while theyre transphobic and homophobic irl and ive seen those people a lot
adding this because it often appears in a.b.o and its even more explained why its so transphobic https://twitter.com/gaylilmarky/status/1277733361059061760
