Callie jumped on that one. "Yeah, why not be openly Omega?"
I felt my jaw square up. "Because look at the way Omega streamers get treated. We're a joke, or a sex object, or both. Sponsors call us 'risky.' People care more about what our biology is doing than our gameplay. No one wants to talk about the actual skill."
"Preach," Callie said, a tired kind of agreement. "I've never denied being an Omega, but I also wasn’t vocal about it. That being said I've lost count of the DMs and comments, or how often brands drop off for no reason. I can understand why you would choose suppressants."
preach
the industry needs to change
both of you are so strong
"But suppressants backfire. They started wrecking my health. And hiding just made everything harder. When I crashed on stream, it forced me to admit what was happening."
Callie leaned forward, eyes alert. "So what now?"
I surprised myself by sounding steady. "Now I run my own story. I kind of fired my agent this morning, the one who pushed the suppressants, though in case that wasn’t clear," I paused and looked at the camera directly for a second. “Victoria, you’re fired.”
GOOD FOR YOU
that's awful
that's a lawsuit waiting to happen
Callie shook her head, disgust showing through. "That's beyond gross. Also illegal, for what it's worth."
"Definitely illegal," I echoed. "I'm already talking to lawyers. They are also looking into the other streamer who shared the medical information about me recently. Doxxing personal stuff is never okay no matter what reason you might have."
The chat rolled faster, mostly positive, a few voices stuck on what I'd do next.
Callie turned the question on me. "So, what's next for you? Are you planning to jump to a new agency? Or something else?"
"Not sure yet," I admitted, then found something solid to stand on. "But whatever happens, I want to work with people who see me as a person, not a headline. Maybe I'll try going independent. Maybe I'll find a rep that actually gets it. But job one is never letting my biology be the headline ever again."
love that attitude
we need more omega-owned content
would totally support independent quinn content
check out CreatorSpace platform, omega-friendly policies
Callie eyed the chat, then asked the question I knew was coming. "A lot of people want to know what's really up with Pack Wrecked. Are you friends, colleagues, or...?"
I could almost feel the pack on the other side of the wall, waiting for my answer.
"They've been good to me," I said. No point in lying, but I kept it controlled. "When I crashed, they came through. They made sure I was okay, physically and emotionally, and ran defense when the media wouldn't drop it. I'm grateful for their support."
friendship
they seem like good people
just friends sure
found family vibes
Callie smiled. "Everyone should have friends like that. When people show up in your lowest moments, that's what matters."
"Yeah," I said, hoping my relief didn't show through the camera. "It taught me a lot about community. About finding people who lift you up, instead of capitalizing on your worst day."
