I've just been indulging in some good old SPN fanfic classics, and then I checked some recently updated comms, I have a non-judgmental but very curious question for all y'all:

Why has BDSM had such an upsurge in popularity recently?

Also, there seems to be quite a lot of alpha/beta/omega fic running around rampantly. Thoughts?
