I am not sure what surprises me more. The fact that it gets animated or the fact that some people actually want it. Nothing against BL in general, but this omegaverse works are worse than your average popular BL which is just a shoujo with plain main heroine replaced with effeminine boy. I find the concept cringe both as BL and as GL.

You know, to show such a story you can make a gay couple adopt the child, use modern science with donors or surrogate parenting or any other mean. What's the reason to justify it with "omegaverse" BS besides the pandering to fetishes?

But, to answer your actual question because with Omegaverse you can explore themes you can't with just a standard gay couple through stuff like pair bonding, and heat cycles. And while a lot of writers may not be thinking to deeply about it in this manner, it has always struck me how in a way OV stories are a somewhat exaggerated look into the female experience. But, allows the writers and readers a measure of distance by the character not technically being female. And, yes some of us just like the idea of mpreg, of a world in which both "men and women" can get pregnant. Nothing wrong with exploring that dynamic in a story.

2. These type of stories do not try to push any actual serious themes. And when they do, they do not put fetish pandering in the plot. At least normally. Quote:

So, the implications of a modern teen buying a sex slave isn't a serious theme, or fetish pandering, got it. Quote:
If those types of things don't work for you, then fine, but acting like the sole purpose of these stories is for fetish pandering, and not because people just want to have fun with an interesting concept, is asinine.

People can have fun with wherever they want and other people can find it dumb. Just that it's really looks like arguments some of my hardcore fujoshi aquitances will put.
Once again, I have nothing against BL (even if it's not my cup of tea) I just find the whole concept of OV offputing. If it was a GL story I will be bothered all the same.

While I won't deny that there are probably a few good omegaverse stories in the genre, it's also a lazy excuse for authors to bring back the old BL trope of semes being unable to resist assaulting the uke or the latter being utterly helpless to resist his advance, now with a fresh coat of "pheromones" to justify it. They have the chance to gloss over writing feelings and pass a lot of it off to biology. The mpreg aspect is often never the main focus, if at all, usually reduced to flavouring for the setting or the pregnancies happening off page before or after the story, the process itself largely unexplored. Personally, omegaverse is at its least head scratching and most fitting when applied to beastmen BL. That setup is perfect for those.
Again, there are bound to be exceptions and good stories out there, and I would normally just ignore anything omegaverse and continue looking for BL that I like, but BL TV anime are not only rare these days, they're near extinction as BL drama adaptations are now the preferred choice and what's left of BL anime shift towards movie/OVA format. So the thought of omegaverse taking up this already niche format is infuriating. There is so much more that could have taken precedence, so many more two men and a child BL. But, eh, at least it's not domsubverse, which is all the bad/lazy things about omegaverse made worse. Not yet, anyway. Also, Ishihira has no reason to ever be directing BL anime despite repeatedly being given the chance to but again, at least he's not actually touching something I'd be mortified to see his name on this time. |

Here's a page that largely explains it.
https://mangatoto.com/chapter/1585788 Just scroll down a bit. There's nothing overly explicit on the first few panels other then some anatomical drawings, but NSFW just in case. There are some differences between stories, like how much if at all a beta will react to the pheromones of an omega as an example.
