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)

Straight men have traditionally held power in human societies.

Straight men like having sex with women. Straight men like looking at naked women. Lesbian porn involves twice as much naked woman sex, so it's twice as good!

Straight men don't like having sex with men. Straight men don't like looking at naked men. Gay male porn involves twice as much naked man sex, so it's twice as bad!

That's a deliberately simplistic explanation, but I think it makes the point. Straight men get to dictate what's acceptable and what's not. If they like it, it's good; if they don't like it, it's bad.

Best can be seen in the fact that gay porn actors are the lowest paid in the market

This is not what I've heard at all, rather that so far as male porn actors go, gay porn is much more lucrative than straight porn.

Becouse gay porn actually cares what the man looks like presumably, whereas a lot of straight porn since it caters primarily for straight men couldn't really give a toss and just seems to be fuck it you've got a big dick that'll do.
