Idealistic Dreamer

Suddenly everyone starts remembering the past and they keep telling you you look like the evil prince that probably killed everyone. This sucks. This sucks TWICE as bad since you were said prince's aide and personal knight.

You think this does not matter. You DESPERATELY need this to not matter.

One of your best friends turns out to be a reincarnation of said prince.

He becomes VERY important in the game of politics you and your classmates keep playing.

Everyone keeps telling you that your hairstyle is DEFINITELY reminiscent of Prince Eugene.

Your past life kinda had a crush on Prince Eugene.

You start cleaning up your best friend's apartment and offer coffee to guests when they visit. You are fifteen and kinda slipped seamlessly back into the aide role.

AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.

Everyone keeps telling you that your hairstyle reminds them of that other guy.

You hate him and you love him and you want your old best friend back.

You are kinda unsure how to feel about Prince Eugene.

Maybe subconsciously it wasn't your sister that influenced your hairstyle. Maybe it was your past.

Maybe you didn't even notice. Again.

I would scream.

Hey man I think you can do both. Like I appreciate man tits and those are legal p much everywhere, but if I was ogling people or touching folks without permission or clutching my pearls whenever I saw a nip it'd be a different story

It's not so much "do I think boobs are hot and do I enjoy seeing them" so much as it is "do I think it's reasonable that what I personally find hot shouldn't get to dictate how others dress"

All u really got to be careful of is how u support- cause yeah,it may come off as skeevy if u get too excited about it.

But the drum we're beating here isn't "STOP EXPERIENCING FEELINGS", it's "YOUR FEELINGS AREN'T MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY BODY" and "THE HUMAN BODY IS NOT IN ITSELF OBSCENE" and "WOMEN'S BODIES BY THEMSELVES ARE NOT PORNOGRAPHIC"

Picture the LEAST attractive person with breasts you personally can imagine. If your knee-jerk reflex is, "I no longer support that person's right to be topless", that's a Gratification motive paired with a Disgust motive.

The key is to move AWAY from Self-Gratification and Disgust and TOWARDS "Equality".

Self-gratification is something we encourage in our view of women so strongly that it almost becomes invisible- to the point of detriment to BOTH sides, which is what bedrock stone-bottom Feminism exists to address.

Your grandmother should be just as commonplace being topless at the pool as your grandpa. Your sister should be able to take her shirt off when it's scorching out and still be as safe and blasé as your brother. Seeing a mom whip out a tit on the bus to feed her baby should be as commonplace as a milk bottle.

The foundational idea is, "the primary purpose of a woman's body is for women to live, not for others to pick apart for approval".

it gets treated as this like stock fandom AU and i'll see people like 'i don't understand why anyone wants to read this' and i'm like yes that's bcos it's pretty intense* fetish content & you don't have the right assortment of fetishes for it? there's a bunch of other similar Stock Settings that just haven't breached containment.

firstly the aforementioned demographic of people who have somehow genuinely failed to clock that it's a kink thing

but also a second demographic of people who seem to have taken its like. prominence in fandom spaces as a sign that they're somehow 'expected' to like it? i've not really seen this attitude with any other kink.

the omegaverse belongs to an genre i have mentally dubbed 'speculative kink'. there are various other types of speculative kink; a well known example in fanfiction spaces is the dom/sub AU, a kind of precursor to omegaverse where the premise is 'what if everyone was biologically a dom or a sub'.

however: there various other shared speculative kink settings out there. unfortunately I cannot get into this too much without discussing some uhhh Devils Sacraments I have attended so you will have to trust me. but I'm aware of several other demographics out there doing speculative kink worldbuilding.

a major difference between omegaverse and the other speculative kink settings I'm aware of is that omegaverse takes itself much more seriously. omegaverse works are often aiming to be understood as serious commentary on gender roles with legitimate worldbuilding. in contrast other speculative kink is typically very open about the fact that the worldbuilding is complete nonsense that exists in service of getting to the kink as soon as possible.

This has been a common method for a long time in some states

"FOR WHAT WEASON WAS I CWEATED?!"

All us, horrified he feels so badly about existence, until I, struck by a childhood memory realize:

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
