TLDR yes but also its still just patriarchy
ig depends what u mean by misandry? if u mean a distrust or bias against men then yeah, definitely real but also understandable. not to say its not socially harmful, but a lot of men suck and I don't blame women for protecting themselves. if we're talking sexism against men, also definitely real but that...... reply
Are you... trying to say yuri doesn't fetishize WLW relationships for men? By sourcing a wordpress doc from 2017?? Like yeah I do agree that BL/Yaoi probably has more fetishization than GL/Yuri but saying that you can't compare the two is totally erasing the fetishization that WLW people face in all different types of media, including Yuri.

Update:
I'm hearing a lot of points saying if heterosexual people can't read/write homosexual porn then homosexual people can't read/write heterosexual porn.

To everyone saying "it's just fiction," I strongly disagree. Fiction affects reality. Most people when they see incest, they aren't affected by it.

Respectful responses only, please be kind in the comments.
As a lesbian woman I think heterosexual people shouldn't write homosexual pornography (including yaoi/yuri). I see it as a form of cultural appropriation and disrespectful fetishization of homosexual individuals. I think that homosexuality should definitely be portrayed and consumed by heterosexual people in other forms of media, such as non-sexual comics, television, movies, etc. as long as it's respectful.
However, I recognize that this is an issue that concerns both heterosexual and homosexual individuals so I would love to hear the opinions of other homosexuals and heterosexuals.
p.s When I say homosexuals I also include bisexuals and pansexuals, since I think they can have authentic homosexual experiences. I would also love to hear some opinions from bi/pan folks since they have a unique perspective on the matter.
