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.
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 ......
