B8 is pretty laughable on the whole alpha/beta thing. It's one thing to parrot about it on B8 but when Other M comes out and the mainstream gets a hold of it and decries its awful misogyny, they pretty much have to play along or risk looking like fools.
Okay, what? Most "alpha/beta" discussions are tongue-in-cheek, and those rare times when they are serious, it's usually about how to get girls. Other M is an entirely different story, as it degrades what was once a strong female lead into a whiny, dependent cliche.
Also, Adam sucks because his "sacrifice" was dumb as hell.
