Gay what id an omega
One of the staples in omegaverse worldbuilding is the exploit of the alpha-beta-omega system. Generally speaking, this is used to explain “gender” or “secondary sex.”
What that means is people are still men or women—or occasionally nonbinary. Yet they are also alpha or beta or omega. “Male” and “female” are often still in play as well.
The alpha/beta/omega designations can be applied to almost anyone, though. Someone might be male, but they can be alphas just as easily as they’re omegas or betas.
Which brings us to a question: how the hell does entity a “male omega” work?
Omegaverse Designations as Reproductive Roles
In a lot of omegaverse worldbuilding, the alpha/beta/omega designations refer, primarily, to one’s reproductive role. Alphas grab on what we would call the male or masculine role: they provide the sperm and sire children.
Omegas obtain on the “female” or feminine role. They provide the egg, and they undergo pregnancy and childbirth.
Omegaverse Anatomy Gets Screwy
This is where things start to get a small confusing—at least, as long as you’re wedded to a binary way of thinking.
“Male” omegas possess all of what we would probably call the “female” parts, by and lar

Alpha/Beta/Omega, sometimes called Alpha/Omega or Omegaverse, is a kinktrope wherein some people have defined biological roles based on a hierarchical system. The terms were borrowed from older behavior research on captive wolves that had been misappropriated by popular culture, but do not reflect current wolf behaviour research.[1] Fanworks using this trope may involve werewolf, knotting, or other animalistic elements, or the characters may be otherwise purely human.
In casual discussion, the word Alpha/Beta/Omega is often abbreviated and lowercased. Many fans have advised others not to write the abbreviated version of the designation without slashes because in Australia it is a racial slur referring to Aboriginal people,[2][3][4][5] though the term without slashes is still in use as of 2023. Disclaimer: Much favor BL, GL and LGBT+ stories in general, omegaverse is often considered to be inherently sexual. That is not the case, but some tropes/plot elements related to sex may pop up. I'd really appreciate to keep this discussion as non-graphic and sfw as possible please (euphuism away, the wackier the better to cheer up everyone's day). Disclaimer 2: I understand omegaverse can be a controversial topic, and some people have some really strong judgments on it and that's cool, but I'd really prefer to think this forum is mature and civil enough we can possess a discussion on it without devolving into controversy and drama please. I'm not saying no negative opinions, if you can interpret your dislike of something please undertake, I'm just saying please do your best to be at least civil and non-personal about it. For Reference: anyone who doesn't perceive what omegaverse is, it's explained in the most basic form in the 4th comment down. Right, disclaimers done, now some actual discussion. So, I really just want to converse about omegaverse with some people who either do or don't like and whys and whatnots. It's a Omegaverse: aka A/B/O (an abbreviation for “Alpha/Beta/Omega”) dynamics, was originally a sub-genre of erotic slash fan fiction (a genre of fiction, in which characters who appear together in movies, television, or other popular media are portrayed as having a sexual, especially gay, relationship) but has since evolved into a slightly more “mainstream” sub-genre of paranormal, erotic fiction featuring more Male/ Female (M/F) pairings, and more recently, Reverse Harem (RH) with a cast of males and females who often engage in sexual intercourse inside of a pack structure. The basic premise is that of a dominance hierarchy existing in the fabric of society, driving the instincts, behavior, and base desires of the characters affected by their particular assignation. As per Wikipedia: “Its main peculiarity is that characters acquire two sexes: a main one (male or female), decided by their external sexual organs, and a secondary one, that manifests during puberty, determined by their internal reproductive system.” This secondary gender affects every aspect of existence from sexual to political, dividing them into three main
