Another, smaller, more secondary concern has also cropped up. Culturally speaking, the three Hegemony races have been hitting it off more and more since your reintroduction of them into your culture. But a strange undercurrent and concerning social trend has formed in the background. It hasn't happened all at once, in fact started even before they were extincted; but the Vetucker and Jaxtian bond seems the most likely to become perverted and corrupted by...
Well, let's just be honest. It's the horny.
All throughout the Hegemony, several young men; both Jaxtian AND Vetucker, as well as Vetucker women, have begun to engage in sexual fantasies and roleplay over the social and sexual dynamics of the races- most notably <span class="mu-s">Jaxtian supremacy</span>. Vetucker women are naturally submissive towards whoever is the socially and physically strongest men in their circles, as is part of their biological programming, and Vetucker men are naturally more submissive to men who defeat them too, as this replicates their sexual selection process, where men compete for dominance and gain a harem of females of a herd for doing so, while the loser men get nothing at least until they try again next year. This is all very natural, but given the Vetuckers apparent extinction and the vast cultural superiority of the Jaxtians over their history with the Vetuckers, this has created a potent aphrodisiac and sexual fantasy for the species. Vetucker men being willing cuckolds and "losers" who give up and let the Jaxtians take their women from them,and Vetucker women also enjoy it too from being "won" from a more powerful foreign species. Hell, even some of your scientists suggested trying to find a way to get Jaxtian men to be able to reproduce with Vetucker females- not the other way around!
<span class="mu-g">"Ugh... this is so embarrassing. They've only been back for like two decades you horny bastards... What are the other races in the galaxy going to think?!"</span>
In truth, this "trend" is ultimately very harmless, and secondly, puts Jaxtian men at the top of their sexual hierarchy, which may be a benefit to anyone who wants Jaxtians to remain supreme over the other races. But, despite this being a weird sex thing, it does impact everything else in their lives and cultures too. Many Vetucker men are suffering from low self esteem as a result of this fetish, being forced to cope with being nothing but livestock and willing cuckolds for their conquering primate superiors. As a Jaxtian, you'd find the arrangement beneficial, but is this really something you want to see continue? Obviously you didn't start this, though a <span class="mu-i">certain</span> past Supreme probably did, but as the Supreme Ruler you have considerable ability to shift public perception and culture with your AI network. What should you do?
>Allow the subculture to continue and ingrain it in Hegemonic culture
>End the subculture immediately and improve Vetucker standing
>Reverse the narrative; make Vetucker men the "bulls"
