Redundant.
Just like you and all your racist, uneducated GB pals.

How Men's Rights Leader Paul Elam Turned Being A Deadbeat Dad Into A Moneymaking Movement
Paul Elam has become the face of the modern men’s rights movement by rallying against false rape accusations and divorce courts that favor mothers. But exclusive BuzzFeed News interviews with his estranged daughter and ex-wife show that his pet causes are very, very personal.
Lol
SNip
Elam’s takes on gender are often attractive to men dealing with the painful aftermath of divorces, custody battles, and rejection. He preaches the gospel that men’s failures and disappointments are not due to personal shortcomings or lapsed responsibility, but rather institutionalized feminism and a family court system rigged against dutiful fathers, as well as a world gripped by “misandry,” or the hatred of men.
Are you the new LJ?
You try so hard. And yet you fail so much. I'm beginning to wonder if you do it intentionally.
Anyway, back to the discussion.
The reasons why Elam made up the label, and who it's used by, is irrelevant to the label itself. It's a label. Just like "commie pinko bastard" is a label. It's used to put someone into an identified position.
In this case it was used to illustrate that there are some here who are not leaders though they style themselves to be such. Nor are they Betas, though they deny such a lowly role. And, they're certainly not Omegas because they are betterer than the common masses.
Hence, they are outside the heirarchy. Which means they are Zeta bitches.
Candi, the BDSM community says they don't use labels, and they try very hard to deny labels, but the fact is they do. BDSM is itself a label. As is Dom, Sub, LBGTQ and so on. It's all about labels.
And no one says you can't identify as Zeta. Fuck 'em (or not) if they don't understand because they're clueless.
Timmy sure knows all about the gays.
...dude... the... the BDSM community uses the hell out of labels. I don't know who told you that but we... we need those?
If we don't use those I might wind up with another power bottom and all we can do is sit around whining about not having a dom.
Bitch we wear collars with the labels on them. The fuck are you talking about?
And I don't know if I'm a zeta or omega because you're not giving me a very clear picture but also like... I'm never gonna be a part of that he-man-woman-hating-incel community either way so it's never gonna matter. Because like... no one is gonna care about those labels, they're just gonna use the umbrella term "loser".
Yhall need to go back and reread Brave New World because you've let yourself get all mixed up.
Edit: I reread the thread and realized that I may have caused this confusion, not you. I may be the person I'm bitching at here.
I meant that ABO is a specific kink, and that the bdsm community at large doesn't use those labels, just the people with that specific kink. You can be a sub and not an omega, for example, and it's way more common to just be a sub, so the more common label is gonna be sub, not omega.
This is doubly true for alpha, because alpha-male has a negative connotation outside of that specific kink and most people are not gonna self-identify as an "alpha". They're just gonna say "Dom". Finding an alpha dom is a fucking unicorn and if yhall know any then that'd be great because there's about 3 on the whole planet that are upfront about it and we've had to pretty much share them for the past decade. Nobody is like this, for some reason.
But a guy can dream... and read a shitton of hentai. And make his boyfriend pretend.
I think you're trying to separate the ABO crowd from everyone else. But, people in general, aren't ABO only.
There are A's, B's and O's, and then, everyone who doesn't identify as A,B, or O. Elam called them Z's because of their behavior pattern wasn't A,B, or O.
Then the party bros came along and decided that Elam's research into whiny divorced men was all that Z stood for. They did it because they didn't understand the point behind the label.
Labels have meaning. Those in the BDSM community who decry the use of labels are merely attempting to elevate themselves to the top of a mystic mountain of psycho-babble. Those who laugh at the people behind the labels also try to do the same, but with insufficient mental resources to make the leap from fuckup to guru.
I merely stuck the label where I thought it appropriate.
BDSM not using labels is hilarious.

what?
Ironic?
I read that as "bdsm can be more than Dom/sub" rather than an argument against labels in the bdsm community.
