I feel like there's a few things feeding into this. I agree that in terms of indulging fantasy scenarios (and not just porn) people are gonna be drawn to what they're attracted to overall.

But might this just be because a lot of works of fiction, especially in visual media, don't reflect the real world and there's way more men than women? Sometimes you're lucky to get more than two women speak in a single film for example. And any woman or women are usually there to prop up the main guy's plot in some way. I wonder if it's easier for people to imagine a Rando Man in the background having his own life and personality because we're more used to seeing male characters getting storylines that aren't tied to another character in the way a lot of female characters get lumbered with.

Or maybe I'm overthinking this.

I do get the frustration though. But I don't think a lot of the "I stan this Rando Man" people are maliciously overlooking female characters. Agree with other comments saying it's probably not the same group.
