straight girls exclusively reading M/M smut and considering themselves advocates for gay rights is suspiciously like straight dudes who like to jack off to girl-on-girl porn that was constructed specifically for the male gaze in the sense that they’re both fetishizing queer sex and lifestyle and if you don’t see what’s wrong with that then i just don’t have the time for you.

ok but also sexism is perpetuated by men and serves men, so there’s another layer to their actions when they fetishize and objectify ‘girl-on-girl’
women copting, fetiishizing, and objectifying ‘man-on-man’ sex is problematiic, but let’s not forget the other forms of oppression at play here

follow up question: is there any ‘good’/ethical manner for straight people to get turned on by queer sex? seriously, I don’t know the answer… I feel like there probably is…….. it’s just tender territory?

I think the answer is that straight people are free to get turned on / masturbate to queer sex as long as they acknowledge that this in no way makes them participants of or advocates for the queer community(s). And obviously, as long as they do not fetishize real queer people. 

good point ^
