As scummy as it is, it takes a bold woman to claim ownership over the concept of men and women having sex together
I think the author of the book of genesis has dibs on heterosexuality as a key plot point
Well, that's knot the _only_ thing.
Since genesis predates copyright law or later corruptions of it, het could be argued as in the public domain. But, I’ll do some research and get back to you.
@@batwingsoda fun fact. My church told me that Moses literally wrote the first five books of the Bible.
@@andrewfsheffield Sure he did, sure.
In the beginning, Addison Kane created heterosexuality. This made a lot of people angry, and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Now HERE'S a frood who knows where his towel is.
Oh my god 😆
Never, under any circumstance, allow Addison Kane to read you poetry.
@@MrKyltpzyxm Addison Caine is actually Paula Nancy Milstone-Jennings of Greenbridge, Sussex, England.
*PROVE ME WRONG!*
Thanks to Addison we now know men can have sex with women too. Revolutionary
my parents will be thrilled
You'd think if Addison really cared about women's representation in her genre of choice she would include some f/f (since it's much rarer than m/m OR m/f) but oh well lol
das crazy
@@a.c.1839 But then it wouldn’t get as many people reading her shit which is what she really is after. She doesn’t care, she just wants to get the most eyes on her work and attempt to squash her “competition” who she has to… ugh… share the reader base with… I know horrible right? I’m being sarcastic if not readily apparent. She simply wants to be the center of the hetero ABO world writing works where women are horribly oppressed by men.

_She never said that omegaverse was porn, Devin._
This SENT me
It's on the Internet, duh!
Commenting here because it had few replies: what the hell is omegaverse and what what this even about?
@@deadinside8781 i don’t know and at this point im too afraid to even ask
@@deadinside8781 This is my guilty pleasure so ill explain. In an omegaverse there are 2 genders: primary and secondary. The primary genders are the same as in real life: male and female. The secondary genders are made up of 3 catagories: Alpha, Beta and Omega. Alpha are the more dominant ones who tend to be active more while Beta are basically normal humans and Omegas are the submissive ones. In an omegaverse setting, the Alpha and Omega have a gland that releases pheremones and an Omega has a heat every month in which they need to take supressents or rely on an Alpha to cool down.
P.S Not all omegaverse have wolf like people, usually it tends to be normal humans with glands which look just like normal people. The ones with wolves are less common and for the ones with exquisite taste.
Hope this helps

@@adamnorton4756 please, please,can you tell this story? I want to know, desperately.
@@LyonsTheMad sure, I was on a criminal case and we had to explain that a trafficker was using emojis to communicate with an associate over a shipment that was coming in. Judges do not know emojis and definitely not street slang so the expert had to explain that "young people use pictorial images to depict the meaning of phrases" and then translate what the person was saying. I know of a similar matter where someone had to explain Twitter beef for a harassment case. It is kind of scary when you realize an old man that cannot use email is deciding if someone is going to jail for years.

So, basically what Diana Galbaldon did with Outlander. Bonus: It was was also a ripoff. Of Doctor Who, to be precise.

IIRC it was a J2 kink meme fill, which just fits

lol I had that same reaction.
If there's anything I've learned in my almost ten years of Fanfiction, it "probably started in the Supernatural fandom" is a common answer
And my friends wonder why i dont like the fandom. i've seen things no one should see...
common and often incorrect
A lot of tropes were actually started by the Star Trek fandom.
Either that or Star Trek
And if not, it was the harry potter one.
Whoever voiced Addison Cain really nailed the "white woman playing the victim" way of speaking.
Edit: I hate myself for actually looking up gay omegaverse novels and now I'm addicted to reading them even though most are wattpad-level of quality.
She is THE BEST Karen 🤣🤣
It’s Jenny Nicholson! Her videos are so fun and she seems so calm so having her play that character made it even better.
So, I suggest Ao3 if you want pretty decent omegaverse. You can find original works there, not just fanfiction
Are the gay ones that much better than the het ones?

As a wolf(real animals not the fanfics) enthusiast, "no, wolves definately dont do that" applies to most of this except like walking/breathing lmao
Yeah the whole thing of alphas, betas, and omegas was bullshit. The “alphas” were just the parents of the rest of the pack. The children were simply following the lead of the parents, not some strange power struggle.

This comment hurt me, but not as much as finding actual hockey omegaverse fanfiction. I wish I could forget and then never dive that deep into the internet again.
I thought the term lemon had been lost to me, but no... it's forever ingrained in my memory...
Whenever I see lemon as relating to fanfics, I am always reminded of this person I encountered in Wattpad who, according to them, used to write fanfics as a young teen and didn't know that lemon meant *that.* Anyway, they apparently received a DM asking them to write lemon for their fanfic. Confused, but not willing to disappoint, they apparently wrote in the exchange of a bag of literal lemons somewhere in the chapter.

@@ArmelOenn I agree. This is the fetid wound of a nastier cancer.
When you take the bad porn out of the story, it boils down to a scumbag talentless hack of an author abusing copyright law to try to suppress her competition, because she doesn't have the skills to write stories that people would actually choose over something else. This bullshit will keep happening until the assholes perpetrating it start facing some actual consequences, like prison time. But at the end of the day, Addison Cain is clearly just a trashy writer and trashy human being in general, and it's not like either of those are in short supply.

The beep, beep, beep was pretty sweet as well..
It's the other way around though. Legal Beagle always sucked as a lawyer.
The "Omegaverse" honestly just sounds like the world that JP and Andrew Tate fans actually want to live in
So, heterosexuality.
(I'm being snarky, but there really is something to how ABO -- esp m/m ABO -- is surgically tailored to appeal to cishet women by reproducing & hightening the tropes of heterosexuality while removing women from the equation. The removal of women allows cishet women to more comfortably consume media designed to explore male bodies & male sexuality bc there's no presumed female cipher for the reader to inhabit & potentially feel invaded/threatened by. This is also why m/m fic is so heteronormative: these readers & authors *want* rigidly-defined binaries btwn masc dom tops & fem sub bottoms & will rewrite characters & dynamics to make those tropes fit. The omegaverse genre pushes this even further by biologically literalizing these binaries, which is part of the appeal. Something something queer theory.)

“No one cared who I was, until I put on the DMCA lawsuit” - Addison Cain

I feel so fucking bad for the lawyers for this case, imagine having to go through the process learning about the omegaverse for case preparation jesus
Imagine their relief when they went back to good ol' embezzlements, murders and thefts.
@@SpawnRevenge92 Lawyers: I never thought I would feel happy from handling murder case.
"And now we will move onto the topic of... *Deep sigh*... The theft of... 'knotting'."
At least the lawyer can take the client or not, the judge has no escape, unless they're related to one of them or are in the business of... publishing a/b/o erotica novels
My lawyer friend says it was actually a pretty significant case in terms of copyright law, and so lawyers would be discussing it and awkwardly be like ”yes, I'm aware of the facts of the case…” and those who had known what it was beforehand had to pretend not to
Wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of the lawyers involved had an unexpected sexual awakening and I can’t help but feel awful for them.

@KvAT yes, with sticks and stones over wolf pornography.

I doubt this is the first nor will it be the last time these lawyers will have to deal with lawsuits surrounding erotica. I've heard that the Romance Novel Author community is a very catty and toxic bunch and this kind of bullshit happens all the time even if it's usually not quite this spectacular.
@@Troublethecat That is a good point. I meant the fact that they have absolutely no legal basis to stand on more than the erotica, but your point is very good.
At it's core, it's a copyright suit...with porn.
This is about much more than that. It happens in other genres too.

The one and only Jenny Nicholson. I would heartily recommend her UA-cam channel (because it is excellent) but it's... hard to succinctly explain.
@@Pineappolis "Girl snarks about random topics while dressed in a thematically appropriate costume"
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter I'll not lie - that's pretty solid and, in being so, makes me look like a bit of an idiot (or rather reveals me to be a bit of an idiot because, well, guilty as charged).
I do think 'snarks' might give people the wrong idea, though. While she does have a deadpan sense of humour, she can also be very earnest even when she doesn't like the subject.
...these days, at least. She did used to be more out-and-out snarky about things she didn't like.
And her essays are not only interesting because of her personality, they’re actually quite well-crafted and structured, making it easy to get invested in whatever topic she’s talking about. Not like a lot of lazy rambling UA-cam rants which are still fun to watch despite it. Hers are fun to watch and are actually essays. Not randomly ordered, disparate thoughts that are all related to the topic but don’t follow each other. She easily lists all of her points, gives evidence for each, and all in all keeps it making sense and easy to follow, while also keeping it casual and not in any way pretentious.

I know someone already said it, but please check out dominic Noble's video on the topic. He truly gives it a fare shot and goes indeph (unlike Lindsay, that kinda used it for a few laughs and to explain the context of the lawsuit, that was the topic that she really wanted to talk about) (this is not in any way, shape or form hate towards lindsay, and Todd and Kat reading in the beggining was the highlight of my week)
Cain: *sees a heterosexual couple* "I made this :)"
She’s got a whole lot of DMCA’s to send out. By the time she’s done, UA-cam will be just Slash and cooking videos
What's hilarious is she's named after (Biblically) the child of the world's very first het couple. XD
Hahahahhahahaha

I heard she tried suing god once because he created Adam and Eve, even though she has the legal rights to heterosexuality.
35:15 - I know it's years later and no one (certainly not Lindsay) will see this, but it occurs to me - the reason the legal teams got hung up on if Cain's book was fanfiction or not is because that has bearing on the idea that she was the original creator of the concepts that were supposedly plagiarized, and thus if her DMCA takedown notices had merit or not. Like if her book had a whiny, cowardly, treacherous advisor to the main villain that she named Starscr-Sunshriek, and Ellis' book also had a character exactly like that with the same name, that could be plagiarism and the DMCAs may be valid; but if Cain's book originated as Transformers fanfiction, then her claim that Ellis plagiarized her becomes harder to defend since now instead of Ellis potentially copying Cain's character, now they're both copying a character owned by a third-party.

Honestly, some fanfiction are too good and too different from their source material to NOT get their own books and movies.
agreed. some fics only qualify as fanfiction because they use names of characters from the original work. some of the best writing I've ever read was fanfic.
@@zapcV
I've read so many fanfictions that really only borrowed the names and loose characteristics but made their fantasy worlds with their own creatures and all. It's honestly sad sometimes.
