MPreg is gross. 2
I don’t know why my last question about it suddenly started gaining more responses. But let’s clear up some misunderstandings.
1. I was referring to the MPreg found in manga *only* so idk why people decided to go get pictures of actual pregnant men. Like... please don’t.
2. A lot of people brought up transgender pregnancies... I’m literally trans. Of course, I’m probably not important enough for anyone to actually know that, but I have it listen in my bio. I think you can understand why it’d make me uncomfortable and why I’d be disgusted to see that male pregnancies have basically been turned into fetish material for such an awful AU.
3. On top of cis men being given the ability to get pregnant, it’s common in OV’s to hyper feminize the ‘omegas’ to the point where they look like women. That doesn’t sit right with me for the same reasons.
4. To hyper feminize the bottom and hyper masculinize the top is extremely heteronormative. This isn’t to say MLM couples like that do not exist. But when it becomes the norm to feminize the ‘omega’ to the point where they look like women *and* have the ability to get pregnant and the alphas are over masculinized, it becomes a problem. Just read a heterosexual manga/hwa at that point. There’s no reason to be reading BL if they just took a heterosexual couple, made it a gay one, but kept everything that made it a heterosexual couple.
5. As we know, cisgender MLM people are incapable of having biological children and many trans MLM do not *want* to have them. And I think OV attempts to revise that by giving men the ability to reproduce with another man. Which I, again, find gross. Not only is that heteronormative, especially considering the fact that a lot of the omegas in question who get pregnant look like women or are over feminized, but the point of a relationship is not *solely* to have children. To attempt to revise that in any way says a little something about an author if you ask me.
6. There probably are MLM out there, somewhere, who enjoy OV. But personally, I’ve never seen another MLM person say anything remotely good about OV. I feel like the entire AU is supposed to be gay relationships... but more digestible for non-MLM. Specifically heterosexual ones.
I completely agree with all of this. I've always been unsettled by a/b/o and mpreg because it felt like the removal of everything that made a queer relationship queer and stuffed it into a pseudo-heterosexual box.
It becomes problematic when you try to hyper-feminize one of the men in a gay relationship. When you're at the point where omega men h...... reply
CW: rape
There are a lot of points that you are making that I agree with. None of what I am about to say is coming from a place of malice. I am a transmasculine person and I resonate with having dysphoria around giving birth and pregnancy in general. It's not for me. I try my best to distance myself from being that subject of discussions around c...... 2 reply
I thought I’d come back to this and add a couple more points.
1. I recently saw someone argue similar points to mine by saying that being opposed to MPreg in OV erases trans MLM. Which is ridiculous. The characters are not supposed to be trans, they’re supposed to be cis. If anything, the only thing it does is turn the fact that men can get p...... reply
