I'm sorry, but this whole entire premise is ridiculously homophobic. Normally I wouldn't repost this sort of thing, but I'm censoring out the Twitter user (don't bother them) and focusing on why this is fucked
First of all: no, it's not fetishization for a cis straight person to write an F/F or M/M pairing. Esp given how many "straight" and "cis" people gravitate to these pairings to explore their own closeted queerness
this whole point is rooted in internalized homophobia and projecting hetnormativity onto topping/bottoming

yes, if you're straight, you can have tops/bottoms. just do do plenty of reading/research and then hire sensitivity readers and consultants and listen to them
i am going to tear off my estrogenized tits
This sort of purity politics is literally causing a chilling effect on queer sexual expression because everyone is scared of being ~problematic~ and ~called out~ for expressing their sexual desires. Yes, including queers. Do you know how many queers are scared of writing erotica?
"But we're just talking about straight people"

No you aren't, because this gaslights queers into fearing their sexual desires are "internalized homophobia." Which, btw, these folks consistently use as a tactic against horny gays when a queer does something they don't like
as a lesbian sex worker i'm going to put it bluntly: this sort of strict regulation over what you can/can't do with queer bodies in fiction is deeply homophobic and lets internalized whorephobia fester. it paints a target on sex workers because we are seen as "enabling"
Porn is art and art demands critique, but this paint-by-the-numbers approach encourages people to just police each others' sexual desires. It is a very, very bad road that is going to culminate in the whole "queer is a slur" direction.

All connected baby
If you feel confused and scared, that's normal: I do too. This stuff is gaslighting. It's taking good faith requests for accountability -- i.e. "do not use slurs in your porn" -- and taking them to extreme, bad faith lengths that *purposefully* muddle nuance and spit out a binary
This is why we have to mobilize as a community intersectionally, complete with a core set of values, ethics, and ideologies that drive our actions. Otherwise it devolves into this binary way of thinking that's invested in controlling sexual expression instead of liberating it
Anyway some TME ppl are going to be like "why did she repost this it says no repost??? ofc ana did that she's a fucking tranny-- i mean, SUPER problematic and crosses SO MANY lines" and you know what, kid gloves gotta come off, this stuff is worse than assimilationist thinking
it's not just trying to fit in with a current power structure, it's policing queer expression and isolating the sexually marginalized -- i.e. sex workers -- from the rest of the community. like nazbol, it runs the risk of going from authoritarian crap to full on fascism
we gotta cut this shit outta our communities when it starts, because this is how it always starts: sex
