Does "for women" here mean "for straight women?"

Also, I have to wonder if anyone who actually reads webcomics was involved in the production of this, because "professional quality" (read: hyperrealistic) art is not the selling point at all even for the decidedly NSFW ones.

  Indeed, the people I know who read them are often heavily invested in the art quality and the creator themselves.

I’m more put-off by how it’s headed-up by two dudes… making fap-fiction… “for women”; right away that’s tone-deaf first impression (at best) - but if they’re more than just naive then I think we might have material for a Coffeezilla video right here.

  Who would you expect to make that material?

    I mean, the first "slashfic" (smut fiction starring two popular characters) was Kirk/Spock slashfic written in the 1960s by a woman. The majority of writers on AO3 are women or enbies.

      Interesting. I probably would expect a cis female to enjoy the sender of such material to be a male, but I definitely stand to be enlightened on this.

  I'm a woman. Female. Female engineer. I have a vagina and I write code. All our creators, writers and artists are women.

      Regardless of its supposed descriptive accuracy, the term is meant as a political pejorative.

      Standing up for womens rights gets you labeled a TERF now. It's not exactly a bad thing to be called these days lol. Heck, even JK Rowling gets called this and shes the furthest from transphobic.

        This is rather off topic but jk rowling is basically the definition of a woman who thinks increased rights for trans people hurts women.

        uhh, no. https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1269407862234775552?lang=en https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1269407862234775552?lang=en She is against womens rights being taken away. Trans people already have all the same rights as anyone else. Please name one right a trans person does not have that anyone else does
