I want to find some media that is:

1 from the female gaze
2 about female homosexuality
3 more explicit the better
4 without fanboys or fanboy pandering

what have you got, gay ladies of F!S.

Maka-Maka is amazing and super hot.

Yes.

YES.

Yes, this. I sometimes think it's touching, too.

Seriously.

Exes & Ohs

Seconding this. It's a sitcom, but it's a darn good one. The first couple episodes are a bit choppy, and support characters are seemingly one-note, but it's worth sticking with.

I wouldn't really consider it fanservicey, and it definitely doesn't glamourize it's main characters (maybe just the one?), but it's basically written by and for gay women.

What's the difference between the gay female gaze and male gaze? (Not saying lesbians are essentially men, but it seems they would like looking at the same things. )

I think OP might meant that they don't want to watch things where lesbians are fetishized for a male audience (male gaze).

I wonder about that too. Because my lesbian friends and my male straight friends gaze at the same thing; breasts, butt and legs. I wonder if there is a real difference.

Gay female gaze is less objectifying, less destructive and more, idk, personal? Focusing more on the beauty and power of the female form and the woman inside the body than simple lust and owner ship over a female body expressed in more male-focused works.

I guess one thing I have in common with guys is that I like women to be attracted to me, and the women in movies are usually straight. If they are into women it's only when they're drunk and/or a hot guy is watching. There's also a very fine line between appreciating a hot woman and feeling objectified as a woman. There's always the knowledge that the hot woman isn't there for me, she's there for the dudes, and the underlying message is "You too should make yourself attractive to men."

Also, I like body hair.

Nothing.

People just throw it out with other buzzwords because it sounds good. When tested to see if they can tell the difference they fail everytime.

Not as in actual perspective but in terms of media, I think there's a difference. Unfortunately, almost everything defaults to the male gaze, so I don't have much of a comparison to make. But I think of the male gaze as more frequently breaking bodies down into their supposedly objectively attractive parts rather than appreciating an entire person. In real life, women do that too, but it's different in media, when it's just presented that way. A movie decides what you get to look at.

there is definitely a difference between "made for a female audience" and "made for a male audience."

The L word?

I heard praise about Lip Service from my lesbian friends, but have not seen much of it myself.

I've only seen PART of the first episode but it was hot, no doubt.

There's Amano Shuninta's work (mostly shorts stories, some longer ones)

I don't remember if there's a lot of explicit stuff in Nishi Uko's stories but they are short and she has a nice and mature style.

Otherwise there's the manga Octave in 6 volumes that's rather nice.

+1 to all of these! I'm also going to throw in Itou Chika's couple of one-shot manga floating around, though they're much more weighted on #3 than the above choices.

Not just about female homosexuality, but saw The Runaways over the weekend, and it was alright.

I'm sorry but if there's a good work, odds are good it's got fanboys. You can likely find the rest of those things but odds are good if it's all that stuff and well known, guys also know about it.

That said, I would recommend "I was kidnapped by lesbian pirates from outer space" But the comic is no longer online cause Platnium Studios a shit.

For fuck's sake, how the hell did you manage to make this thread about fanboys?

No, there are plenty of things that don't have fanboys who ruin the fandom, which is what OP meant.

OP, it isn't porny per se, but try Fingersmith (both the book and the BBC miniseries).

I hadn't been keeping up with Megan Gedris's stuff, and I didn't know this had happened.

This is the company that owns Wowio? I have a DrunkDuck account. (It's crap, they go down all the time.) Now I'm more worried about them than I was.
