I've seen things about it (though I can't find them now) that sort of show the whole "straight women love m/m so they can fetishize gays and two dicks are better than one" is only partly true. Sure, there are straight women fans like that, but there are also A LOT of queer, bi, ace, trans, what-the-fuck-am-I-even women who identify and get something out of the genre.

Like, the majority of readers might still be straight women just because statistically there are so many more straight people overall, but there are a lot more than the statistically likely population density of queer/questionint/other readers who find something in the genre.

A lot of us identify with it because of something we sort of feel is different about us but don't have a name for. It can be part of the whole process of figuring out what the fuck we are, in a world that mostly erases trans/gay/etc people, or it can just be something we like better than yet more stories about straight people.

Anyway, it's certainly not something all straight women like. Or all non-straight women, but there's more non-straight women as a percentage than there are straight women as a percentage, IMO. Does that make sense?
