Added DiffLines:
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Some creators, including [[WebVideo/LegalEagle DJ Stone]] and WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions, openly dismiss Omegaverse stories as little more than "Werewolf Porn", even though most Omegaverse stories don't feature Werewolves, and many don't even have any explicit sex scenes.
** Averted on Website/TheOtherWiki of all places, where there's a thorough and rather academic description and analysis of Omegaverse.
* EstrogenBrigade: Given that MostFanficWritersAreGirls, a significant number of Omegaverse writers will be female.
* FetishRetardant: Some people are horrified, rather than aroused, by the prospect of being an Omega in Heat, or an Alpha in Rut, who completely loses control of their own reproductive urges.
* NeverLiveItDown: One of the most infamous facts about the genre is Addison Cain's FrivolousLawsuit against Zoey Ellis, on the grounds that Cain [[ArtisticLicenseLaw claimed ownership of an entire genre]].
* RainbowLens: Even though Omegaverse is already a common form of SpeculativeFictionLGBT, there are some who would argue the idea of Omega males being a metaphor for Trans men, and Alpha Females being a metaphor for Trans women.
** Ironically, Alpha/Omega same-sex couples could represent an ''Inversion'', since an Alpha/Omega same-sex couple, with the Alpha as the masculine partner and the Omega as the feminine partner, [[HomosexualReproduction and the couple being reproductively compatible]], [[ButNotTooGay can come across as heteronormative]].
* ValuesDissonance: Much of the Omegaverse genre is predicated on biological determinism in gender roles (Alphas are always presented as more masculine, while Omegas are always more effeminate), heteronormative family structures (Alpha/Omega pairs are almost always the only same-sex couples to be represented or validated, and they almost always partake in HomosexualReproduction), systemic rape culture (depicting Alphas and Omegas as being subservient to their biology, unable to keep from Knotting when they go into Rut/Heat), toxic masculinity (Alphas being presented as overly domineering or sometimes abusive), misogyny (Alpha male/ Omega female relationships being consistently depicted as more abusive than Alpha male/ Omega male relationships), and ArrangedMarriage (Alphas 'Claiming' an Omega as their own).
** DeliberateValuesDissonance: In some cases the Author explicitly acknowledges how the Omegaverse's moral standards are different from the real world's, and provides a ContentWarning.
** Other authors try to deliberately avert Values Dissonance, instead writing a {{Reconstruction}} of the Omegaverse genre with most of the problematic elements removed, and legal precautions in place to prevent too many abuses from happening.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The mere premise of Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics has a lot of space for exploring gender dynamics, [[AlternateHistory how history, religion, and culture would be different in the Omegaverse]], [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything social commentary]], or other ways of fleshing out the setting... most of which is largely ignored in favor of Alpha/Omega romance and/or sex scenes.
