History PlayingWith / Omegaverse

* '''Zig Zagged''': An Omegaverse story that subverts many genre expectations, such as a domineering Omega male [[PowerfulPeopleAreSubs whose Alpha boyfriend is the meek, submissive partner in their relationship]], an Omega who open-carries a gun to deter any Claim attempts from Alphas, or an Alpha who is Asexual and doesn't go into Rut.

* '''Enforced''': The author is a Sociologist writing a thought experiment examining how human history would have been different as a result of the existence of Alphas and Omegas and the NonHeteronormativeSociety that would exist as a result.

* '''Exploited''': The author uses Omega males as [[RainbowLens an allegory for]] Trans men and Alpha females as an allegory for Trans women.

* '''Discussed''': The author is a Sociologist examining the Omegaverse genre from an academic, Sociological perspective, even bringing up and answering various questions [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot that even most Omegaverse writers would ignore or dismiss]].

** An Omegaverse setting where Omegas are treated as the equals of Betas or even of Alphas, most of the human rights abuses associated with Omegaverse are absent, or there is a FantasticCounterpart to Feminism with Omegas.
** Alphas don't lose control of themselves when in Rut, and Omegas don't lose control of themselves during Heat, removing the moral/ legal gray area from Alpha/Omega dynamics.

** A teenage Alpha male is the only heterosexual member of his family (his parents were an Alpha male/Omega male couple, both of whom were born to Alpha male/Omega male couples, and his siblings are all either Alpha males or Omega males), [[HetIsEw his attraction to girls is not well received by his family]], and due to being raised in an all-male environment he has absolutely no idea how to talk to women.

'''Basic Trope''': A setting where there are three types of humans- Alphas (who [[HomosexualReproduction can impregnate regardless of gender]]), Betas (normal people), and Omegas ([[MisterSeahorse who can get pregnant regardless of gender]]).

** An Alpha Female has to go pee, [[WhichRestroomDilemma and doesn't know if she should go to the men's room and use a urinal since she's an Alpha, or go to the ladies' room since she's a female]].
