Should heterosexual people read/write homosexual pornography?
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.
cultural appropriation? you’re fucking crazy. a sexuality isnt a culture. then are gay people not allowed to write about heterosexual relationships? so stupid. delete ur account lmao. 18 reply

So what you're saying is that homosexual people should just write homosexual
pornography and heterosexual people should just write heterosexual pornography?
Then can homosexual people write heterosexual pornography? Then, is that
a form of disrespectful fetishization of heterosexual individuals? 2 reply
Yep, I think you bring up some very good points. I find it inherently kind of disrespectful to meddle in a community and write every fetishized portrayals of it. However, i do think homosexual content produced by straight people aren’t always for fetishization and can be handled in a respectful manner. a lot of yaoi manga isn’t that way, and it...... 3 reply
I think it's a bit of a stretch to call it cultural appropriation... If that's cultural appropriation then might as well go after all the hippies too, they tye-dye things with rainbows!
To refuse a group of people the right to do something solely because of their sexuality would definitely not be nice, and that's what you are basically saying shou...... 3 reply
You're full of ish, stop being such a fucking Nazi, homos don't decide to straights what to do and what not to do...and don't get me started on this cultural appropriation crap!! I could argue the same about stealing the rainbow as a queer symbol and associating the rainbow with the LGBT as a cultural appropriation!!......males identifying as women...... reply
If people could only write about things they have/are directly experienced then the world of fiction would be extremely boring and repetitive. You don't have to be lbgtq+ to respectfully depict a gay/lesbian relationship. You might not be able to grasp every aspect of it but that's exactly the same thing when you are writing about anything else you...... 1 reply
Well, maybe we should extend the argument that straight females can't write straight porn with males in them because they aren't male as that is cultural appropriation too. Vice versa. Jokes aside:(many females are pissed at porn aimed at guys for this very reason in IRL so...) this is honestly more of an issue for the whole porn community and ...... 1 reply
i wrote this super long thing but i said screw it. in short, yes they should. anyone should be allowed to read, write, create, and consume any sort of media. but is it good if they do it? yes and no.
it is important to depict and portray the lgbtq+ community as normal and real people, not just a random, fictional thing to get off to. but pornograp...... reply
