[@michellekeith5602]

Can we please understand that alpha and chauvinistic are NOT the same. It's crazy that no one seems to know what an alpha is but throw the term around like every other misinterpreted word lately. Would you call Barak Obama a neolithic minded beast ? Probably not. Because he isn't or so it seems but what he IS is an ALPHA which is not a bad thing and honestly something that seems to be disappearing into the abysmal pool of which way do we go George I dunno let's ask the only one in the room that isn't offended .... Oh wait nevermind he's gone too kind of world we live in. Why is it that everyone is so afraid of men being men? I'm not saying the kind that assault people but an alpha doesn't equal a jerk. A jerk equals a jerk and I see way more of the beta males and even more of the wannabe females that are jerks. Feelings are not facts and the dictonaries are everywhere

[@Manganra7]

@@michellekeith5602 I think this is the wrong thread to make this comment… We’re talking about a specific definition of “alpha” which applies ONLY to the fictional genre of omegaverse.

[@goingvenus5603]

OMG, What an incredible song/video!!!! I'm a 65 year old woman and would have loved for all the entitled men I've had to deal with to watch this. Our culture seems to breed these 'alpha' males who are actually not alpha at all because their insecurity makes them incapable of treating women with respect and earning her affection. It's quite frightening for a woman who says, and means NO to have a man push himself on her. All women have to deal with this regularly. It makes it difficult women to recognize and trust the good, honest and decent men who aren't like this but who get lumped in with the predatory men. For women, it's like putting your hand in a cookie jar but you know there are razor blades in there. The fact that women STILL DO try is a sign of courage, or naivete. But sooner or later most women get burned and that's just sad for everyone.

[@rifttraveler5093]

It’s incredibly sad that people actually think like this, just because you think you’re some type of “alpha” or whatever bull they come up with doesn’t mean you can control other people’s lives.

[@FunkyLittlePoptart]

I cannot take anyone seriously who bases his entire personality on a trope that a) was thoroughly debunked by the scientist who first proposed the idea studying wolves in captivity, and then spent the rest of his career shouting "NO! I got it wrong!" to no avail, and b) lives on primarily in the fan fiction community where it's some sort of super-grapey Gay to the Nth Power sort of stuff, up to and including male pregnancy. Every time I hear one of these people calling themselves an alpha, I immediately picture them in a woman-free world, which is I guess what they wanted all along.

[@mooolinator]

​@@FunkyLittlePoptartdamn, son. no crumbs - he dead.

[@strawberryfox8819]

​@@FunkyLittlePoptart Small correction, some animals do have alpha animals (like horses). But humans aren't included in them, since most of us prefer a monogamous relationship. And omegaverse can be straight as well but then it's just sexism on a new level. But those worlds still have male omegas and male pregnancy, so yeah. Just needed to get that out of my brain.

[@dailymadness9129]

@@chrissi3085 Hallo, hier sind die ersten beiden Strophen und der Refrain: Der "Alpha-Mann" sagte: "Du musst ihre Ablehnung nicht akzeptiern" Vinny sang: 1) Vor langer, langer Zeit gab es einen Alpha-Mann Wer durch eine einsame Straße reist, würde einen Käfig voller Hände verursachen und mit einer eleganten Stimme bekam er Wutanfälle da schöne Frauen an seiner Haltung verzweifeln und ihn ablehnen würden. 2) Der traurige, traurige Alpha-Mann war oft gestört Weil er glaubte, wenn sie „Nein“ sagte, sollte sie keine Wahl haben Und er würde sie wie einen kleinen Jungen nerven Wenn sie auf „Nein“ bestand, belästigte er sie und fragte: „Warum sollten Sie kein Interesse haben?“ Refrain: Hey, ihr einfachen Männer, ihre Zuneigung gebührt euch nicht Du wirfst überall die Schuld, außer dir selbst im Spiegel Hey einfache Männer, du hast ihre Ablehnung verdient Wenn Sie erwarten, dass Ihre Respektlosigkeit als Aufrichtigkeit rüberkommt 😃

[@GlitchyK_404_TheMultiFan]

@@bingewatchforever1587 yeah for real, it’s weird that they make up this concept in the first place, but it’s only a little funny when you think about the fact that they use ‘alpha’ based on a misconception of another species ranking. But yeah it’s really questionable, just in general.

[@GlitchyK_404_TheMultiFan]

@@catxtrallways YESS It’s just so funny to think that it’s something positive… not knowing they’re basically calling themselves inexperienced, mistake making, and basically teenage failure energy- and I say that lightheartedly as someone who is still a teenager for another year. Honestly they deserve the term for what it actually means, but.. it’s funny to think that they assume it means ‘leader’ and all high and mighty and all that jazz, right? Just a bit funny how they’re unknowingly outing themselves as assholes the moment they say they’re an alpha

[@foolishlyfoolhardy6004]

Well alpha is still used in primatology and some researchers use it for other animals, but there's a bit of contention around it just because of how it's being used by these men - which, yes, 100% they have the wrong idea. For primates there's the alpha male and the alpha female. The role they play depends on the species, but it's less about power and toughness and more about who is liked by the group (chimpanzee males basically campaign like politicians and the alpha male often has to defer to the alpha female). It's very rarely that an alpha would get the position out of brute force, and dominance, it can happen and those populations are less successful. A healthy social group is usually going to usurp them. Frans De Waal, late leading primatology expert did a fantastic Ted talk on it, and has some fantastic books. The concept isn't just from the wolf study. It's also a term used in ichthyology as well, but less to do with a social hierarchy.

[@MAG1235]

I always figured it meant males who were willing to work their asses off for the good of the family/tribe, and earn respect. But that could just be a fantasy of mine....

Was playing around with my friend last night, we wanted to try a little rope. Well I looked up some beginner stuff, wasn't finding anything I wanted.. he said , "I know how to tie knots" which he clearly didn't. I wanted the knots to be a little loose and for me to have enough room to change positions if I was tired or wanted control. He began to tighten the rope and basically said it was his choice. I am SO proud of myself cause I stood my ground. "If youre gonna hurt me or not respect my level of comfort then I don't want to be tied up!" It took a min but eventually he got frustrated and stopped, we made up by the next day but I'm proud to have recognized a new side of someone that wasn't pleasant, and navigated through with compassion, and now I am preparing to have much stronger boundaries
