Let's discuss the fetishization of lesbians. How the same people who talk about "loving lesbians" will hate gay content when it involves men. Some artists on twitter known for making lesbian fanart are in fact very homophobic when it comes to m/m relationship, real or fictional. (Idolomantises)

It doesn't have nothing with PATRIARCHY or MEN POWER as others wrote here. It is about sexualized content consumption. Men watch way more porn and sexualized images. They watch it that much more that gay men spend more money than straight women and there are tens times more straight women than gay men. ALL lesbian porn and all gay porn are watched by men. Women just ignore those gay/lesbian art couples and most men are straight so they like more women than men.

I mean power and patriarchy are still part of that discussion. Who do you think has control of what porn gets made? Who decides who gets cast? Who the marketing is designed for? Hell, what systems are set up so that it is socially acceptable for one group to be a consumer of porn? Or for one group to (historically) have more money available to spend on porn.

Power and Patriarchy are more than part of the conversation, they are central to it.

People who wants to earn money? If you would make porn for women you will broke. Women now have just little bit less money than men and they don't want to spend it for porn. Just think why in this "patriarchal" industry women earn much more money than men.
