Alpha isn't a real thing in the way it was originally described, wolf packs are a family stricture not a group of random dudes following the toughest ones. The "alphas" so to speak, are the parents and the "betas" are the children. We need to stop using outdated terminology from a retracted study in common language.

Good luck convincing the manosphere to drop it

Calling it a "furry thing" is very likely to be successful if done in sufficient quantity

They'd do it in a heartbeat if people started thinking it was a furry thing.

They’d do it in a heartbeat if people started ~~thinking~~ saying it was a furry thing.

In particular, once women start calling openly them out for being furries , they'll drop the issue. XD

Since when have these people cared about the opinions of women

[–] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago

Since they enjoyed heterosexual sex with them, and only if it could lead to the possibility of having sex with them. Actually they only ever care if there's potential for them to have sex (if they consider the lady attractive) otherwise they couldn't care less.
